Questions
4. Information Literacy
What is information literacy?
"To be information literate, a person must be able to recognize
when information is needed and [have] the ability to locate,
evaluate, and use effectively the needed information".
- American Library Association
7. Information Literacy
What does the framework look like?
- It’s broken into six stages using NSW DET Information
Search Process stages.
- There are questions to consider for students across all
year levels across the six stages.
- Integrated into the Digital Literacy Matrix.
9. Critical Literacy
What is critical thinking?
Where have our modern perspectives
grown from?
The Greek Socratic tradition dates
back over 2,500 years.
The term critical means crucial or
related to core criteria and derives from the
ancient Greek kriterion, which means
standards; it also derives from kriticos,
which means discerning judgment.
10. Critical thinking and your school context
I had to consider, what is critical thinking and how does this work
within the values inherent within Ignatian Pedagogy?
* a willingness to imagine or remain open to considering
alternative perspectives.
* willingness to integrate new or revised perspectives into our
ways of thinking and acting.
* Taking any new information or perspectives that may have
become apparent and seeking change either internally or
externally.
11. John Dewey
October 20, 1859 – June 1, 1952
Dewey’s work led him to define reflective thought as:
“active, persistent, and careful consideration of
any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the
light of the grounds that support it,
and the further conditions to which it tends” (p. 6).
In this sense, knowledge gained through
reflective thought is individually constructed
and revolves around ones personal beliefs.
Beliefs that may or may not be substantiated
from a scientific perspective,
but none the less are derived
from some personal experience (Dewey, 1910).
12. Constructivist educational theorists
Today, mainstream education has been influenced significantly by the research and writings of such notable
constructivists as:
Ausubel Mezirow
Brookfield Piaget
Bruner Vygotsky
Dewey as well as:
Knowles Bloom and
Chickering
13. ACARA
In the Australian Curriculum students develop critical and
creative thinking as they learn to generate and evaluate
knowledge, ideas and possibilities, and use them when
seeking new pathways or solutions.
In learning to think broadly and deeply students learn to use
reason and imagination to direct their thinking for different
purposes. In the context of schooling, critical and creative
thinking are integral to activities that require reason, logic,
imagination and innovation.
14. Creative thinking?
ACARA discusses the use of creative
thinking as well as critical thinking.
De Bono’s 6 hats.
Why not?
17. ICT Literacy
What is it?
“...ICT Literacy is the ability to appropriately access, manage,
integrate and evaluate information, develop new
understandings and communicate with others in order to
participate effectively in society.”
- ACARA

Introduction from ASLA person/grab video?\n\n0-5 minutes\n\nRationale/Introduction - Why we’ve created a Digital Literacy Framework, what our roles at the school are, why it is important to do this. \n\n5-10 minutes\n

Found Lamb's comparison very helpful when considering the range of frameworks out there. \n
What does the framework look like?\n- Broken down into six stages using NSW DET ISP plus other frameworks that I looked at while developing my section\n- Questions for students to consider\n- Integrated with the other two strands \n
\n
Nadia Critical literacy skills were broken down via Blooms taxonomy.\n\n10 - 15 minutes\n\nThere were many different theorist and ideas to consider when deciding which direction we were going to take in regards to critical thinking skills to be included in this matrix. First I had to consider what I thought critical thinking was and where our modern perspectives have grown from.\n\nThe beginnings of critical thought can be traced back to Greek Socratic tradition that dates back over 2,500 years in which probing questions were used to determine whether claims to knowledge based on authority could be rationally justified with clarity and logical consistency.\n
I had to consider, what is critical thinking and how does this work within the values inherent in within Ignatian Pedagogy?* a willingness to imagine or remain open to considering alternative perspectives.* willingness to integrate new or revised perspectives into our ways of thinking and acting.* Taking any new information or perspectives that may have become apparent and seeking change or further information.\n

Today, mainstream education has been influenced significantly by the research and writings of such notable constructivists as Ausubel (1968), Brookfield (1987), Bruner (1966), Dewey (1933), Knowles (1980), Mezirow(1981), Piaget (1969), and Vygotsky (1978), as well as classic educators like Bloom (1956) and Chickering (1981). Their work in the areas of self-directed learning, transformational learning, experiential learning, and reflective thought are central to today’s educational practice.An important element commonly associated with all of these areas is critical thinking. The concept of critical thinking can be traced back to Dewey’s (1933) reflective thinking model. In reviewing the literature, one can find as many definitions of critical thinking as authors writing on the subject. \n
