Transforming Academic Library Instruction: Shifting Teaching Practices to Reflect Changed Perspectives de Amanda Nichols Hess

Transforming Academic Library Instruction: Shifting Teaching Practices to Reflect Changed Perspectives: Innovations in Information Literacy

Autor Amanda Nichols Hess
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 sep 2018

Nivelul de studiu vizat de acest volum cuprinde masteratul în biblioteconomie, doctoratul și referința profesională pentru specialiștii din mediul universitar. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Amanda Nichols Hess depășește abordările pur practice de tip „how-to”, concentrându-se pe procesul metacognitiv prin care bibliotecarii își dezvoltă identitatea de instructori în învățământul superior. Cartea este organizată riguros în trei părți: prima fundamentează teoria învățării transformative, a doua analizează catalizatorii schimbării (de la dileme dezorientante la influențe externe), iar ultima parte evaluează rezultatele acestor transformări în practica pedagogică. Spre deosebire de lucrarea sa anterioară, Modular Online Learning Design, care se axa pe designul instrucțional modular și eficiența organizațională, acest nou titlu din seria Innovations in Information Literacy explorează profunzimea psihologică și sociologică a rolului de educator. Acoperă aceeași arie tematică precum The Academic Teaching Librarian's Handbook de Claire McGuinness, însă Transforming Academic Library Instruction adoptă o abordare mai axată pe cercetarea calitativă și pe transformarea perspectivei interne, oferind o bază teoretică solidă pentru ceea ce Sarah Cisse numea „profesorul accidental” în The Fortuitous Teacher. Suntem de părere că includerea celor 20 de casete cu text și a întrebărilor de sondaj din apendice oferă un suport valoros pentru reflecție, transformând o lucrare academică într-un instrument de dezvoltare profesională activă.

Descriere

Academic librarians working in instruction are at the crux of professional, higher educational, and societal change. While they work with disciplinary faculty to ensure learners are critical information consumers and producers in 21st century ways, how do academic librarians develop a sense of their own identities as post-secondary instructors? Using both broad and in-depth data from practicing instruction librarians, this book identifies the catalysts and influences in academic librarians' perspective development process. From these factors, then, instruction librarians and librarians-to-be can hone their own instructional identities and transform their teaching practices. This focus on understanding this perspective transformation process around instructional identities offers both working academic librarians and LIS graduate students an innovative way to think about their roles as educators. While many books explore the practical or how-to aspects of teaching in libraries, Transforming Academic Librarianship: How to Hone Your Instructional Identity and Adopt Best Teaching Practice takes a step up and examines how academic librarians think about or approach instruction as a part of their work. Through explicating this metacognitive process, this book helps both academic librarians and librarians-to-be to more intentionally consider their teaching practices and professional identities.

Recenzii

Dr. Nichols Hess has a uniquely broad view of the ways in which our expectations of academic librarian instruction are changing as long-held standards are rejected in favor of frameworks and the rigors of traditional standards and practices are exchanged in favor of more fluid information literacy-based learning objectives. . . . Amanda Nichols Hess's work with transformative learning theory reveals a more dynamic and diverse landscape of transformation taking place in the journeys of those same librarians that is far more likely to be initiated by a change in leadership or classroom experience than by the adoption of a theory or implementation of a framework.
At a time when it is crucial that librarians see themselves as educators, Hess has enhanced our capacity to improve professional development with this unique and ground-breaking study of how academic librarians' perceptions of their identity as teachers can be transformed. Illuminating interviews and concise takeaways are designed to be put to good use by librarians, library leaders, and educators.
Grounded in theory and mixed methods research, Transforming Academic Library Instruction includes practical advice for academic librarians, at all stages of their career, who are reflecting on their roles as educators. Library leaders and educators will also gain insight into how they can encourage librarians' professional development and transformation growth.
