Information literacy, is it suposed to take place in the library by the TL or is the classroom teacher soley responsible. The prievious preceptions i have had is that the classroom teacher is soley responsible, this is part of teaching reading, writing and comprehension... RIGHT... WRONG WRONG WRONG
Unfortunatly nieve inexperienced teachers are made to believe this in many schools especially as the LIBRARY IS SEEN AS A PLACE THAT COLLECTS OLD BOOKS rather than a place where information literac takes place and where students learn how to view and assess resources.
The TL will accomidate for this by finding and showing the resources available to students. Students will be exploring, define, create, read, synthesise, apply and self evaluate.
Langford (1998)bsees the role of the tl to do this but solley on the tl, but in currently in many schools i believe that the tl needs alot more support by the staff in order for this to take place... team teaching will make this ideal???? oR ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT IN PLANING DAYS...
A Thought to think aboout
The NSW DET states that "Information Skills in the school engaging learners in constructing knowledge (2007)
THEN PLEASE REINFORCE THIS TO YOUR SCHOOL AND STOP WHINGING & WHINING
