As we enter the 'Information Age' it is increasingly important for students to learn how to locate and select what is useful from the many sources of information now available. At Kenilworth School courses are provided in Library Skills in Year 7 so that students can gain the skills necessary to become independent learners, skills which will be essential for GCSE Coursework and for further and higher education. A variety of teaching and learning methods are used, with considerable use of computers, as well as the other library resources. Year 7 The course is designed to ensure that students are able to use libraries effectively, not just within the school but also public libraries. We look at the way fiction authors are arranged on the shelves, and then move on to non-fiction so that students develop the skills necessary to use computerised catalogues to locate books and other information sources. By
comparing different accounts of the same events students learn to detect
bias, and to select the most appropriate information for a particular
purpose. |
