Abstract | Full Text (https://noril.uib.no/article/view/2478)

The aim of this presentation is to compare key aspects of learning in two core information literacy (IL) modules, one
delivered to a face-to-face cohort (MA Librarianship) and one to distance learners (MA Library and Information
Service Management). Graduates of these programmes (delivered by the University of Sheffield iSchool, UK) often
pursue careers that require excellent personal Information Literacy (IL) and the ability to teach IL to others. Inskip’s
research (2015) identified that these are subjects that library and information (LIS) students want to learn, and
Saunders et al.’s (2015) international study found that LIS students’ IL requires development. Our modules aim to
develop the students’ understanding of themselves as information literate citizens and teachers, and introduce them
to theories and models in the fields of IL and information behavior, teaching and learning. The modules include a
practical strand (searching, evaluating, using (etc.) information) and assessment is through coursework. Using
Entwistle et al.’s (2004) model of the Teaching and Learning Environment (TLE), we will map key elements (e.g.
learner characteristics, approaches of teachers, course design) relevant to the quality of learning. We will also look at
three “layers” of teaching: (1) overall pedagogic beliefs and institutional policies, (2) design for learning (overall
planning for achieving learning outcomes), and (3) techniques, tools and methods used. We will draw on
documentation, reflection and (with cooperation from learners) material created by learners during, and subsequent
to, the modules. Through the use of the TLE model we will surface differences in the experience of face-to-face and
distance learners and also differences in development of their personal IL and pedagogic knowledge for IL.
