Abstract

Prior research on information literacy instruction in engineering graduate programs rarely considers course instructor perspectives, and instead only uses student feedback to evaluate the efficacy of information literacy instruction. This study documents the authors’ efforts to evolve the library curriculum to motivate student learning and meet the course needs. Data collected from the student survey and course instructor questionnaire found that most students reported that the instruction was engaging and satisfying, but evaluations of the usefulness of the instruction were mixed. The course instructor was satisfied with the students’ overall work in information gathering though found their project reports unsatisfactory in terms of report writing and critical thinking. The findings shed light on student needs and faculty expectations of engineering project-based graduate courses.

工科研究生信息素质教育的教学设计与思考
先前对工程研究生项目中信息素养教学的研究很少考虑课程讲师的观点,而是只使用学生的反馈来评估信息素养教育的效果。这项研究记录了作者努力发展图书馆课程,以激励学生学习并满足课程需求。从学生调查和课程讲师问卷中收集的数据发现,大多数学生报告说,教学引人入胜,令人满意,但对教学有用性的评价参差不齐。课程讲师对学生在信息收集方面的整体工作感到满意,但发现他们的项目报告在报告写作和批判性思维方面不令人满意。研究结果揭示了学生对工程项目研究生课程的需求和教师的期望。
