Welcome
to one of the first home-grown
professional development workshops
ever(?) offered at NC Wesleyan. You are
an important part of a pilot initiative
that seeks to genuinely enhance student
learning by emphasizing information
literacy across NC Wesleyan's
curriculum.
|
Your participation in
this workshop is an important part of NC
Wesleyan's Quality Enhancement Plan. The
outcomes of this Plan are interrelated
and seek to enhance existing academic
programs with a focus on student
learning through GIST coursework. These
outcomes seek to:
|
|
|
 |
Enhance student learning
by creating coursework opportunities that change
information-seeking and use behaviors while
taking GIST courses in the major sequence. |
|
|
Change student perceptions
of information tasks as linear constructs and
replacing this perception with training that
teaches them to approach research as recursive
processes that emphasizes topic
definition, critical evaluation, analysis,
organization, and ethical decision making in the
use of information with review and revision
throughout. |
|
|
Promote increased student
learning
by providing faculty and staff with training
opportunities that support GIST program design,
GIST course design, research assignment design,
and related educational best practices that
reach students through lecture, homework,
in-class activities, coursework, peer tutoring,
and academic support. |
