Critical thinking

opening minds

2025-06-26 16:31:38 UTC

introducing concepts to encourage studnets to refine their thinking, broaden or narrow their topic/point of view, etc.

Judging sources of information

2025-06-26 16:31:42 UTC

2025-06-26 16:31:45 UTC

So many people operate under the mindset of assuming information/sources are true until proven incorrect, rather than being critical of all sources and checking credibility by default

InfoLit is inert knowledge w/o application and transformation

I think that teaching students critical information literacy will inherently lead to transformative learning. Becoming aware of the systems in place that affect information access, creation, and distribution leads to a shift in students' frame of reference

being open to new information and learning from it in college and beyond

Seeing themselves as information creators

Not rushing to the "information" destination, but instead focusing on the journey of discovery.

"Not knowing something" as a state of growth

Conxn: IL to Transformation

2025-06-26 16:32:03 UTC

The heart of education (autodidactic or systemic) is, to me, change / metamorphosis. I don't need to reinforce "it is known" stuff without test. Finding out what is similar/different with previous, collecting supporting/challenging ideas/voices/phrases for rumination. etc.

Students can often have better experiences learning when they work together

Getting beyond headlines and memes

sarahhood2 — 2025-06-26 16:32:08 UTC

fostering curiosity, showing students how to continuously look for high quality information, even after they 'walk across the stage'!

2025-06-26 16:32:20 UTC

Transforming how students think about information, but also how they see themselves as participants in using and creating information

2025-06-26 16:32:25 UTC

Changing how a person interacts with media and participates in that information space. Encouraging more intentional engagement with the information landscape.

Evidence-based Living

2025-06-26 16:32:38 UTC

I see infolit as a key tool to transform the way students think about information and personal views. Beyond all the academic stuff, students begin learning how to live evidence-based lives that resist misinformation and unfounded belief.

Self awareness

willingness to accept the journey, and to change the trajectory

2025-06-26 16:32:47 UTC

Discerning between different formats and types of information.

2025-06-26 16:32:54 UTC

metacognition

2025-06-26 16:32:55 UTC

Feeling empowered to find good information and be able to be critical of or confident in what they find

2025-06-26 16:32:58 UTC

Learning to shift their minds to critically think about the information they're consuming.

Becoming more empathetic with voices to which you do not agree

2025-06-26 16:32:59 UTC

Part of it is empowering students to move forward with the transformation, rather than causing the transformation.

2025-06-26 16:33:05 UTC

2025-06-26 16:33:06 UTC

when students move from a place of inexperience to more experienced, their minds open & they see more of the "picture."

Becoming an ethical information consumer in daily life

Transformative theory can be applied to all of the ACRL frames

2025-06-26 16:33:13 UTC

Information literacy gives people the skills they need to engage in artifice of their own knowledge and mind. It's self-transformation.

2025-06-26 16:33:16 UTC

You're not just teaching research skills, but also helping students reflect on how and why they seek information, and how their cultural backgrounds shape those processes.

2025-06-26 16:33:18 UTC

learners are active participants in, consumers of, and contributors to, the information landscape

2025-06-26 16:33:22 UTC

More clarity in assessing information sources

Comfort with the messiness of research

2025-06-26 16:33:28 UTC

Problem solving

2025-06-26 16:33:44 UTC

Transformation to me points at the idea of habits of mind and having an awareness of one's way of thinking.

Empowerment - teaching students to find information and navigate their way

2025-06-26 16:34:23 UTC

Information literacy... or thinking critically with information is transformative in and of itself. It is also constantly evolving. Requires some ability to explore and not be discouraged by "failure." push through barriers rather than just get frustrated and stop...

vadouglas1 — 2025-06-26 16:36:19 UTC

I think if you adopt a sociocultural theory of information literacy then our IL practices and perspectives would transform or change based on the community in which we're immersed. The information that is important, holds value, shapes your world view is shaped by the community that creates it, shares it, etc.

empowering students to navigate evolving environments

2025-06-26 16:37:34 UTC

creating conditions in the classroom for students to embrace transformational change at their own pace; meeting students where they are in order to support their journey toward refining their understanding of the world
