Faculty Perceptions Of Students' Il Learning In First-Year Writing, Catherine Baird, Tiffany Soares
Faculty Perceptions Of Students' Il Learning In First-Year Writing, Catherine Baird, Tiffany Soares
Sprague Library Scholarship and Creative Works
The study investigates the perceptions of first-year writing faculty of how their students develop information literacy (IL). The authors conducted 16 semi-structured interviews and analyzed them using a qualitative inductive coding method. The study contributes a close and nuanced understanding of faculty perceptions of IL learning to a literature with few recent qualitative studies. Faculty identify what they see as enablers and barriers to student learning. The authors conclude that the empathetic, process-oriented characterization of IL learning by these faculty invites further examination using multiple methodologies and elevation of faculty's voice in the discourse around IL.
