WRONG!!
“ ... the main gap I am finding is with regards to critical and holistic
thinking. There seems to be a teach‐to‐test culture which focuses on
circumscribing knowledge into manageable boxes ... ”
(ANCIL Expert Consultation Report, 2011)
Joining up support
Embedding in the curriculum
Challenging perceptions ….
“… if the teachers, whether they’re school or university teachers, don’t have the same view of IL that we do, it’s always going to be [about] the skills. And the
skills are fine but anybody can teach the skills; it’s teaching the changing attitude and the different approach that I think
has to come from the teachers.”
(ANCIL Expert Consultation Report, 2011)
Credibility and capability
Qualifications and staff development
Student as partners
“What I work with is the information that’s still inside people’s heads,
that’s not yet structured or fully articulated, that’s the result of the
creative encounter between an individual and a learning context.”
(The Mongoose Librarian, 2013)
