Upcycling Instruction: Developing effective approaches to teaching experienced researchers
This document discusses teaching information literacy skills to experienced researchers. It begins with a librarian survey that found most librarians teach upper-level undergraduates, faculty/researchers, and graduate students. When asked what they enjoy most about teaching experienced researchers, common responses included that it is intellectually stimulating, they enjoy teaching advanced concepts, and empowering students. Challenges included teaching students with varying skill levels and lack of subject expertise. The document then discusses effective teaching approaches like teaching as conversation, peer learning, and creating safe spaces. It provides examples of how to implement these approaches and concludes with suggestions for developing individual learning activities.
