Data Management Education From The Perspective Of Science Educators, Carol Tenopir, Suzie Allard, Priyanki Sinha, Danielle Elaine Pollock, Jess Newman, Elizabeth D. Dalton, Mike Frame, Lynn Baird

DataONE Sociocultural and Usability & Assessment Working Groups

In order to better understand the current state of data management education in multiple fields of science, this study surveyed scientists, including information scientists, about their data management education practices, including at what levels they are teaching data management, which topics they covering, and what barriers they experience in teaching these topics. We found that a handful of scientists are teaching data management in undergraduate, graduate, and other types of courses, as well as outside of classroom settings. Commonly taught data management topics included quality control, protecting data, and management planning. However, few instructors felt they were covering data management …

The Biology Of Reality Testing - Implications For Cognitive Education, Neil Greenberg Jan 2010

The Biology Of Reality Testing - Implications For Cognitive Education, Neil Greenberg

Faculty Publications and Other Works -- Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

• This report explores the proposition that teaching effectiveness can be enhanced by accommodating the key differences between two complementary and deeply engrained modes of reality testing, each predominantly centered in different hemispheres of the brain. • (1) Correspondence involves “reality-testing” of a percept, the cerebral representation of an experience in the world. • (2) Coherence involves “textualizing”, that is, reality-testing of a percept by how easily it relates to previous and ongoing parallel and collateral experiences. • Confidence in the validity of any percept throughout development is related to the interplay of these key processes. • As organisms develop, …

Teaching Student Searchers, Carol Tenopir Mar 2005

Teaching Student Searchers, Carol Tenopir

School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works

In this article, the author discusses teaching library and information science (LIS) students about online searching. She discusses the many changes that have taken place over the years in terms of searching and also in terms of the role of the librarian in helping with searches. The author also mentions that although searching now has become a 24/7 activity, the sources have begun to be somewhat questionable, and regardless of accuracy, most patrons think that they can find whatever information they need online.


Educating Tomorrow’S Information Professionals Today, Carol Tenopir Jul 2002

Educating Tomorrow’S Information Professionals Today, Carol Tenopir

School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works

Information skills are easily and frequently taught in school. Positive attitudes about selling yourself, recognizing the needs of the organization, and building customer loyalty are not as common in LIS schools-- nor as easily taught. Business schools have traditionally been more successful in instilling these types of attitudes, but not just because of a course or two.


I Never Learned About That In Library School: Curriculum Changes In Lis., Carol Tenopir Apr 2000

I Never Learned About That In Library School: Curriculum Changes In Lis., Carol Tenopir

School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works

Professional organizations are concerned that programs in Library and Information Science (LIS) may not be teaching up-to-date skills to prepare new information professionals for their first jobs. But good schools also need to provide the broader knowledge that will allow graduates to adapt and continue to function in a constantly changing information world. Due to these concerns, the Special Libraries Association, Association for Library and Information Science Education, Medical Library Association, American Library Association, and others are all looking into what LIS curricula includes now and ought to include in the future, to ensure that the educational programs are keeping …


Education For Database Intermediaries: How Library Schools Have Changed (And How They Haven’T)., Carol Tenopir Nov 1989

Education For Database Intermediaries: How Library Schools Have Changed (And How They Haven’T)., Carol Tenopir

School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works

In 1988, surveys were sent to all 60 of the American Library Association-accredited schools of library and information science in the US and Canada that offer master degrees. The overall response rate was 88%. In more than 80% of the schools, 3/4 or more of the students receive hands-on experience with online searching, and about the same percentage were exposed to CD-ROM databases. In 23 schools, 1/4 or more of the students were exposed to in-house simulation systems. Of the participating schools, 82% had at least one course 100% dedicated to online searching and 25% had more than one. Several …
