  1. Instructional Design: Where Does the Librarian Fit In? Tina Inzerilla, MLIS Cheryl Warren, MSLS Las Positas College April 22, 2006

  2. Agenda • Introduction • Partnership • Traditional Assignments • New Assignments • Why Do This? • Live a Model • Co-Teach with Faculty • Collaborate with Multiple Disciplines • Process of Working with Faculty • Create an Assignment

  3. Partnership • Dr. David Loertscher, Professor at San Jose State University • Wrote Super Teaching: 15 Think! Models for Instructional Improvement in College Courses, Online Learning, and Professional Development • Partnered with ESL Coordinator • ESL Workshop

  4. Traditional Assignments • Fill-in-the-Blank Worksheet • Report/Term Paper • Plagiarism

  5. New Assignments • Analyze, Evaluate, Synthesize • Interactive Learning • 15 Models: • Build Background Model - Matrix Model • Sense Making Model - Timeline Model • Read, View and Listen Model - Quest Model • Advice to Action Model - Re-Create Model • Compare and Contrast Model - Mix it Up Model • Concept Jigsaw Puzzle Model - Take a Position Model • History and Mystery Model • Reinventing a Better Way Model

  6. Model #1: Build Background • Tips • For assignments that require knowledge about an issue which will be used in future assignments • Students will answer questions about an issue • Example: Understanding international issues facing less developed countries. Future assignment would be writing a report about the less developed country.

  7. Model #2: Sense Making • Tips • Good for subjects that have popular misconceptions • Example: What type of government does the United States have: a democracy or republic? Both democracy and republic governments are researched. • This model also works well with difficult concepts

  8. Model #3: Read, View, Listen • Tips • Useful when there are several points of view about one topic. Each student learns about one point of view then form groups to discuss all of the points. • Useful when you want a group of students to learn about an issue with a variety of viewpoints • Example: What are the causes of crime? • Useful for bibliographic instruction

  9. Model #4: Advice to Action • Tips • Useful for subjects that have to take a position and develop a plan • Example: What punishment should be given to an officer when violating state weapons laws? Students guess what the plan is then talk to people in authority to find out what really happens. • Useful for subjects that use an expert as a source • Example: Deciding a career

  10. Model #5: Compare and Contrast • Useful for subjects that have topics that may not be covered thoroughly during a semester • Example: An administration of justice class thoroughly covers the adult justice system and rarely has enough time to cover the children’s justice system. Criteria is provided for the comparison. • Useful for topics that need to have similarities and differences compared • Example: Comparing the structure and function of different taxa (in Zoology class).

  11. Model #6: Concept Jigsaw Puzzle • Tips • Very useful for classes that want to get their students involved in discussions • Example: Groups A, B, C, and D research a specific question on the topic. New groups ABCD, ABCD, etc. are formed to answer a thought provoking question involving all the topics requiring students to combine their knowledge. • Useful for bibliographic instruction. Students can answer the first question using library materials

  12. Model #7: History and Mystery • Tips • Useful when finding what happened from various viewpoints • Example: What happens when an officer uses lethal force on a subject. News Media, Citizen Groups, Investigation Report, and Outside Agencies are consulted. • Useful for finding out what happened in history • Example: What caused World War II?

  13. Model #8: Matrix • Tips • Best for subjects that have a lot of questions to be answered about a topic • Example: In an ESL class students are assigned a topic: Lewis, Clark, or Jefferson. A matrix with questions, requires thoughtful answers about the student’s topic. Students present their answers to form a combined knowledge of their topics. • Very useful for bibliographic instruction

  14. Model #9: Problems/Possibilities Jigsaw Puzzle • Tips • Similar to Concept Jigsaw Puzzle Model in the use of groups to encourage discussion • Useful for forming plans • Example: A Cinco de Mayo celebration needs one plan for a safe event. Groups of students look at individual areas like Crowd Control then form new groups to come up with an overall plan. • Useful for bibliographic instruction

  15. Model #10: Re-Create • Tips • Useful when instructors are tired of reading research papers • Example: Students have to create a poster or powerpoint and give a presentation to the class • Very useful for bibliographic instruction

  16. Model #11: Reinventing a Better Way • Tips • Useful for subjects that need a new way of performing a task • Example: How can search and seizure be improved? • Useful for bibliographic instruction

  17. Model #12: Take a Position • Tips • Useful for classes, such as Speech, where a variety of pro/con issues are discussed • Example: Gay Marriage • Useful for classes that need to form an opinion about an event that occurred • Example: What should happen to officers that violate a state weapons law? • Useful for bibliographic instruction

  18. Model #13: Timeline • Tips • Useful for subjects that have events occurring over time • Example: What are racial discrimination issues? Students create a timeline dating back to the colonial times and create a timeline of issues. • Useful for understanding the major events that occurred in people’s lives • Example: What happened to Lewis & Clark? A timeline of events is created.

  19. Model #14: Quest • Tips • Great for research papers because each of the tasks is broken out for the students to accomplish • Example: History paper • Very useful for bibliographic instruction

  20. Model #15: Mix It Up • Tips • A popular combination is Read, View, Listen with Concept Jigsaw Puzzle • Another good combination is Quest and Matrix • Good for classes covering a complex topic

  21. Why Do This? • Partnership with Faculty • Instructors looking for new types of assignments for their students • Some faculty never had instructional design classes • Includes Librarians in the curriculum process • Ensures information competency skills are folded into the assignments

  22. Live a Model • Each Group Assigned a Model • Read Model • Assign Possible Subjects/Classes (e.g. Psychology) • Re-Group • Discuss models • Favorite

  23. Collaboration Process with Faculty • Partner with Faculty • Develop a personal relationship • Discuss Goals of the Assignment • Brainstorm Student Learning Outcomes • Create Assignment Based on Models • Iterative process • Final Assignment Written by Faculty • Librarian Prepares Bibliographic Instruction • Follow-up Meeting

  24. Collaborate with Multiple Disciplines • ESL, Political Science, Administration of Justice, Chemistry, Career Counseling, Zoology, Biology • Reactions from Faculty • Benefited from the Process • Repeat Business • Word of Mouth

  25. Create an Assignment • In Your Handout Look at Original Assignment • With the Models That You Have Learned Create an Assignment With Your Group • Each Group Describes the Assignment and Says Which Model is Used

  26. Future • Advantages of Instructional Design • Collaboration as equals with faculty • Generate use of library by faculty • Students receive better assignments • Usefulness of Instructional Design • Student Learning Outcomes • Information Competency • Distance Education
