Students come into our classes with prior understandings about what it means to do research or how to perform specific research practices or tasks. While this prior knowledge can sometimes be useful, when it is inaccurate or inappropriate, prior knowledge can also cause students to struggle with research assignments or projects.

This workshop will explore the relationship between prior knowledge, research, and information literacy. The presenter will share practical ideas for how to identify, activate, and, when needed, correct students’ prior knowledge in order to support improved performance on research assignments.

This workshop is being offered by the University Libraries Teaching & Learning Department and is open to all faculty, staff, librarians, and graduate students at Ohio State. Instructors and librarians from other institutions are also welcome to attend.
   
For those affiliated with Ohio State, this session counts toward completion of the Teaching Information Literacy Endorsement, from the Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning.
