Trialling a new approach to research at Bankstown Girls
In the very first subject of my Master of Education (Teacher Librarian), I had to do an assignment on Information Literacy (IL) models.
It inspired me to develop the BGHS ISP - an Information Search Process that is tailored to the learning needs of our school context. I introduced the ISP and its language to this year's Year 9, during the MLM. In collaboration with Enzo, I tailored the MLM learning materials, including research phases and reflective journals, to align with the steps of the ISP.
Our students took to it!
During the MLM, we observed that our high ability students were more self-directed in their learning and our mid-low ability students appreciated the ISP structure keeping them 'on track'. I'm looking forward to refining the ISP for further trials with the 2017 cohort.
This presentation explains our ISP. If you'd like to trial this approach to research, I'm happy to get you and your class up to speed.
Here's an excerpt from my first uni assessment task that discusses the need for IL models. NB. The school in my task is fictional.
Want to know more about the BGHS ISP? Let me know.
Cheers,
