COMP. 4-PEARL CITATION SEARCH

In Academic Search Premier, I searched from the article, "Connecting Learning: Brain-Based Strategies for Linking Prior Knowledge in the Library Media Center" by Kathi Vanderbilt. I chose ASP because it is a general education database that includes a great deal of information from library science periodicals.

I used the descriptor, Theory of Knowledge, to get 2223 hits, added the descriptor, Teaching, to obtain 186, and then descriptor, Education, to get 118.

This strategy is so interesting, because I am seeing hits (among the first thirty) that I did not see in the original search for the article above. I have used the "More Like This" option before, but I never thought to use these descriptors, and it's so obvious, because they are active links. !!

The abstract below, from the article, "Involving Students in Learnng Through Rubrics" pairs the brain-based strategy, inquiry learning, to assessment rubrics in order to enhance student learning in the library.

Abstract:
The article presents information on an inquiry-based approach, which enhances the learning of students. In this approach, students explore big ideas through inquiry. They are encouraged to ask meaningful questions, access and evaluate information, and express their personal viewpoint. In inquiry environments, assessment is an integral part of the learning process. Students assess their own work, and also identify the criteria for assessing and measuring the quality of performance. Rubric is a critical assessment tool, which is being used in several classrooms. Rubrics are a good standard for assessing teaching practices and student achievement. Students who create a rubric have a better understanding of what must be done to reach expectations.

When I changed Education to the descriptor Librarians, I got two hits, one of which, was my first article.
