• Can compare IL skills across institutions/departments/individuals

• Need time & money to develop reliable and valid instruments

• Less time for marking

• Good for testing students’ knowledge

• Cannot assess higher-order skills

• Content may be very generic

Small Scale Assessment




Y. Ishimura GLIS 619 September 17, 2009   17
Interviews & Focus Groups (Overview)

• Evidence obtained through individual or group interviews


• Involving small number of participants


• Eliciting subjective experience in depth


• Analysis takes time


• Based on self-assessment of information literacy skills


• Need training and inter-personal skills

   “I think Google is much easier to use than Novanet [online catalogue]. If I
   enter keywords by separating spaces, I can easily research results. On the
   other hand, I cannot reach the results on Novanet as I expect. So, I have
   trouble using it.”

   “For example, if I am studying the environment, one report discusses the
   amount of exhaust gas and says that the amount of gas does not affect the
   earth’s environment. But, if I carefully look at the report, the organisation
   receives financial support from oil companies. So, I look at the data very
   carefully. They do not present false information. But, I recognise that those
   kinds of reports focus on only one thing without considering other aspects of
   the situation. In terms of data, they only look at one row of data because it
   looks good even if the data are inferior to others.”

Interviews & Focus Groups (Sample Findings)

• Students demonstrated IL skills to some degree:
        1. Time pressure is a key factor to select paper topics
        2. Google is a popular place for finding information among students
        3. Tend to search for information that they want to find
        4. Evaluation criteria for information is not sophisticated
        5. Recognise importance of legal and ethical issues, but concept is difficult for students
           to fully understand


• Librarians are not a part of students’ research process


• Need more outreach to improve students’ IL skills

Portfolios (Overview)

• Collecting pre-determined evidence during given time frame
  (e.g., topic selection, searching, evaluating, and using information)


• Often record students’ reflection on the research process


• Significant time commitment needed for students, faculty, & librarians


• Often used in a credit-based IL courses or as a part of specific classes


• Provide continuous feedback during the process


• Can assess higher-order skills

Portfolios (Sample Findings)

• Obtain holistic of students’ information literacy skills
  (e.g., Search strategies, resources used, synthesis of information)


• Visible research process and progress
  (i.e., Students, librarians, and faculty)


• Provide more meaningful and substantial feedback to students


• Facilitate students’ understanding of research process

Observation & Screen Capture



• One of three phases in research         • HUGE amount of time for analysis


• 86 hours of screen captures of          • Provides an insight in information
  students behaviour                        seeking behaviour, but not
                                            significant findings
• Observation of students’ activity
  during their search


• Conversations with students during
  their search

For Your Future Reference

• Examine past findings “critically”
  (Past research will inform your path)

• Decide what you want to assess
  (You need purposes & goals for assessment)

• Remember you cannot assess everything
  (Think small)

• Know the limitations of different assessment approaches
  (You may have to give up some evidences)

• Use multiple data collection methodologies if applicable
  (You can triangulate your data)

• Have passion for assessment
  (You will find cool things for future IL improvement for students)

On the other hand, I cannot reach the results on Novanet as I expect. So, I have trouble using it.” “For example, if I am studying the environment, one report discusses the amount of exhaust gas and says that the amount of gas does not affect the earth’s environment. But, if I carefully look at the report, the organisation receives financial support from oil companies. So, I look at the data very carefully. They do not present false information. But, I recognise that those kinds of reports focus on only one thing without considering other aspects of the situation. In terms of data, they only look at one row of data because it looks good even if the data are inferior to others.” Y. Ishimura GLIS 619 September 17, 2009 19
  • 40. Interviews & Focus Groups (Sample Findings) • Students demonstrated IL skills to some degree: 1. Time pressure is a key factor to select paper topics 2. Google is a popular place for finding information among students 3. Tend to search for information that they want to find 4. Evaluation criteria for information is not sophisticated 5. Recognise importance of legal and ethical issues, but concept is difficult for students to fully understand • Librarians are not a part of students’ research process • Need more outreach to improve students’ IL skills Y.
