Nesset, V. (2009). The information‐seeking behavior of
grade‐three elementary school
students. Proceedings of
the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 46(1), 1-3.
SUMMARY
Nesset discuss the importance of introducing and
experiencing print and electronic sources from a young age. From this study, information seeking in the elementary school
is represented in a three phase model: preparing, searching and using. The preparing stage being the direct instruction of
needed vocabulary and steps to complete the process. The searching stage being the physical action of
searching and the using stage is
applying what the students learned. Information seekers in elementary
schools need exposure to the three phases early so they can build upon them in
upper grades.
EVALUATION
I
liked how this article shows that young students are ready to be educated in
information seeking. As an educator, I see that children such as kindergarten
and 1st grade don’t complete research because it is “too difficult”.
This article shows that we are in a time where they have been prepared for
technology and just need the opportunity to have experience with it.
