2011 MOBIUS Annual Conference Session 6

Assessment is the New Black: Evaluating the Growth of Student Research Skills
Kasia Leousis & Kristine Helbling

Why assess?
-we can learn about the impact that we have on our users
-in the moment assessment can provide immediate feedback
-allows you to change the direction while you have the student there
-assessment must be intentional

Using pre/post questions to do assessment
in pre questions found students use wikipedia and google. Used wikipedia in B.I. for students to find keywords to begin their research project.

Post questions - find out how their research process has changed since the B.I. session.

Have students recreate a search to see how they got the resource they have, the keywords they used, the process they took.

Tracking data
-presenter sat in on a class, and noted if they raised their hand
-question mark if the student asked questions
-wrote down if the student took notes
This started out as an assessment of the presenter, but then turned around and gave information about the student.

Develop a handout where they have to fill in blanks as you instruct them.

Analyzing an assignment
Look at the reference page to see what resources the students have found.

***This session has made me realize that I am already doing assessment with the information literacy sessions that I teach. I just need to keep a more formal track of the results that I find during these assessments.
