Notes on Information Search Processes:

General information from Pappas we might could start with such as definition of inquiry and environment.
 * Notes on Pathways to Knowledge: **
 * //__ Overview: __//**

Developed by Marjorie L. Pappas and Ann E. Tepe in 2002. It is a nonlinear process used to find information. Important aspect is that it encourages searchers to continuously explore and reassess information (Callison, “Information Age”; Pappas, “Pathways” 23).

Overview: Stage of appreciation and enjoyment in which a person develops traits such as appreciation, enjoyment, imagination, and curiosity through stories, film, paintings, natural settings, music, books, periodicals, the web, video” and more (Callison, “Information Age”).
 * //__ Stages: __//**
 * Appreciation **

Strategies for this stage: Listening, sensing, imagining, viewing, reading, creating, writing, discussing, verbalizing, evaluating (Callison, “Information Age”; Callison, “Information Use” 36).

Overview: Using prior knowledge to connect with current topic through brainstorming and questioning. May require some resource searching and will help narrowing the topic (Callison, “Information Age”; Pappas, “Pathways” 23).
 * Presearch **

Strategies for this stage: Know the information need, identify keywords, brainstorm, use organizers such as webs and outlines, narrow or broaden topic, form initial questions, develop more questions, build background, and seek help from appropriate sources (Callison, “Information Age”; Callison, “Information Use”; Pappas, “Pathways” 23).

Overview: Identifying needed resources and using those resources to meet information needs (Callison, “Information Age”).
 * Search **

Strategies for this stage: Finding resources such as online sources, libraries, community agencies, historical sites, zoos, and museums (Callison, “Information Age”; Pappas, “Pathways” 23). Asking questions to understand better, using sources appropriately, note-making, citing, using first person resources, using search strategies such as surfing, browsing, keyword search, and Boolean searching. Knowing difference between print and electronic sources, skimming, scanning, relevancy of information such as accuracy, currency, fact, and fiction (Callison, “Information Age”; Pappas, “Pathways” 23).

Overview: Analyzing the information to create personal meaning (Callison, “Information Age”).
 * Interpretation **

Strategies: Reflecting, Organizing info, citing, compare/contrast, trends, patterns, constant evaluation, classifying, reflecting (Callison, “Information Use”). Inferring, drawing conclusions, paraphrasing, filtering (bias, perspective, pov), synthesizing (Pappas, “Pathways” 23).

Overview: Gather information and present it to audience.
 * Communication **

Strategies for this stage: Compose, design, report (Callison, “Information Use”). Organizing, determining format, drafting, revising, editing, citing, and presenting (Callison, “Information Age”).

FORMATS (Callison, “Information Age”):

Diagram Timeline Model Venn Diagram Slide show Puppet show Poster Diorama Transparency Art Graph Chart Presentation software Book jacket Computer program Puzzle Display Mural Map Graphic Exhibit Photo Bulletin board Drawing Web page Tv documentary Video tape Animation Video conferencing Film Panel discussion Music Demonstration Travelogue Interview Speech Debate Skit or play Dialog Story Paper Book Report Journal Writings Newspaper Database Spreadsheet Biography Slide show Exhibit Portfolio

Overview: Evaluation is ongoing through each stage and allows for revision (Pappas, “Pathways” 23). This ongoing revision allows students to “strengthen their own independent searching capabilities.” Evaluation also conducted by teachers on students to determine if students have developed information literacy skills (Harada and Tepe 9).
 * Evaluation **

Strategies for this phase: Revise questions Evaluating, assessing (Callison, “Information Age”). Reflect on process and final product (Callison, “Information Use”).

 * //__ Notes on I-Search: __//**

What I Want to Know:

Old process or new process? Linear or nonlinear

Learned: Linear Key element: students select topics that interest them Developed by Ken Macrorie 1988 Adapted by Marilyn Joyce and Julie Tallman 1990s (Callison, “Information Age”)

Seems to answer “what” more so than “how.” No specific room for evaluating and revising. Not very specific.

Tasks:
 * 1) Selecting a topic of interest by discussion and browsing
 * 2) Finding information through developed questions and multiple resources
 * 3) Using information from notes
 * 4) Developing a final product through communicating (Callison, “Information Age”).

Questions: Is there more to this it seems so basic?


 * //__ Notes on REACTS: __//**

What I want to Know:

Old or new process? Who developed it? Linear or nonlinear?

What I Learned:

Barbara Stripling and Judy Pitts late 80s.Thought is that students who research at a low level will react at a low level. Includes: Recalling, Explaining, Analyzing, Challenging, Transforming, Synthesizing (Callison, “Information Age”)

Steps:

1.Choose a broad topic 2.Get an overview 3.Narrow the topic 4.Develop thesis statement 5.Formulate questions 6.Plan for research 7.Find, analyze, evaluate 8.Evaluate evidence 9.Establish conclusions 10. Create and present final product (Callison, “Information Age”)
