Building the Habit: How Information Literacy in Everyday Life Connects to Lifelong Learning
Heather F. Adair, Ashley B. Crane
Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas, USA
Often learners enter the learning environment apprehensive of their ability to navigate the new skills and doubting the validity of their prior experiences. How do we help learners overcome this deficit thinking? Is there a way to connect everyday experiences with information literacy? Can we present information literacy instruction in a way that empowers learners to become resilient, confident, lifelong learners?
In this workshop, we will reflect on and examine how everyday personal experiences with information mirror the habits essential to lifelong information literacy. Together, we will investigate how learners experience and create meaning through exemplar information literacy activities. Participants will be invited to discuss how these habits could relate to other learning environments and ways to provide a platform for skill transference, shifting the narrative from a deficit mindset to a strengths-based mindset. Presenters will lead participants through a guided reflection exercise utilizing an existing information literacy lesson to integrate everyday habits with the intent of developing resilient and confident lifelong learners. Participants are encouraged to bring an existing or known assignment from their context or coursework with which to engage.
Objectives
Participants in the workshop will:
• Reflect on their personal experience with information in everyday life
• Investigate how individuals interpret and create meaning from information they experience
• Infer how meaning making habits encourage individuals to become lifelong learners
