Unlike the usual study of information skills at the school level, this research analyzes the application from the globalized sphere to the down-to-earth practice so that a holistic picture of information skills study is formed. This research examines the information skills application in both the English Schools Foundation and the local primary school contexts. The methodology of Comparative Education facilitates multi-faceted analysis of information skills in enhancing students learning to learn in education systems, and widens the scope of understanding in information skills practice in schools. The fundamental questions discussed in the study are 1. What variables shape the differences of the implementation of information skills between the ESF and the local contexts? How do the variables exert their impact during the process? 2. What are the similarities and differences for integrating information skills into students' learning in these two different educational contexts? 3. To what extent do the challenges of information skills instruction affect the collaboration of teachers and school librarians of both the ESF and the local contexts? In order to have systematic and equilateral enquiry, Bray and Thomas's framework for comparative education analysis (1995) and Bereday's model for undertaking comparative studies (1964) are employed in this research. Methods used in this study include school library visits, interviews, observation and questionnaires. Findings from the research display the intricate interaction of different forces from the macro-environment to the micro-environment of information skills application. Globalization and the interdependence of economic, social and political climates accelerate the development of information skills in the ESF and the local primary school systems. Educators of the respective systems try to format the system variables such as curriculum, teachers' training, and assessment accordingly. Strengths of one system are often weaknesses of another. Information skills implementation in different contexts results in different challenges and learning results. Comparative studies of education display further steps for better understanding of different systems on the path of facilitating students' learning to learn. iv DOI: 10.5353/th_b2773780 Subjects: Information literacy - Study and teaching (Elementary) - China - Hong Kong Schools, British - China - Hong Kong Elementary schools - China - Hong Kong
Download or read book Inside the Social Studies Classroom written by Jere Brophy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-08-26 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EDUCATION/ SOCIAL STUDIES "... a much-needed addition to elementary social studies that will move the field ahead." Keith C. Barton, University of Cincinnati "This text fills a valuable niche and should quickly become a leading reference for teachers and teacher educators." Linda S. Levstik, University of Kentucky This book, resulting from a collaboration among an educational psychologist, a social studies educator, and a primary teacher, describes in rich detail and illustrates with excerpts from recorded lessons how primary teachers can engage their students in social studies lessons and activities that are structured around powerful ideas and have applications to their lives outside of school. The teaching portrayed connects concepts and skills emphasized in national and state standards, taught in ways that build on students’ prior experiences in their local communities and connect with their family backgrounds and home cultures. The analyses include rich descriptions of the teacher-student interactions that occur during lessons, detailed information about how and why the teacher adapted lesson plans to meet her students’ background experiences and adjusted these plans to take advantage of teachable moments that emerged during lessons, and what all of this might imply concerning principles of practice. The principles are widely applicable in elementary schools across the country, as well as across the curriculum (not just in social studies) and across the elementary grades (not just the primary grades).
