Report: Yale University Includes Big6 in Triarchic Instruction Study
ATTENTION GRANT WRITERS / EDUCATORS: “Data collected from thousands of students showed that students who were taught informative nonfiction using the Big6 approach with a combination of analytical, creative, and practical activities, outperformed students who were taught two alternative approaches.” — Linda Jarvin, Ph.D., Associate Director, PACE Center, Yale University
Just released “Information Literacy: A Neglected Core Competency” — Educause Quarterly
Just-released Educause Quarterly opinion piece by Dr. Sharon Weiner of Purdue, addresses the implications of Project Information Literacy’s latest research findings.
The article, entitled, “Information Literacy: A Neglected Core Competency ” (article link) argues information literacy doesn’t belong to any single discipline, but instead belongs to all of them and should become a habit of the mind from kindergarten through college education.
