Note-taking: A Research Roundup :: Jennifer Gozalez

Note-taking: A Research Roundup :: Jennifer Gozalez | General learning capabilities | Scoop.it

"Every day, in classrooms all over the world, students are taking notes. I have my own half-baked ideas about what makes one approach better than another, and I’m sure you do too. But if we’re going to call ourselves professionals, we need to know what the research says, yes?

"So I’ve combed through about three decades’ worth of research, and I’m going to tell you what it says about best practices in note-taking. Although this is not an exhaustive summary, it hits on some of the most frequently debated questions on the subject.

"This information is going to be useful for any subject area—I found some really good stuff that would be especially useful for STEM teachers or anyone who does heavy work with calculations, diagrams, and other technical illustrations. Of course, there’s plenty here for teachers of social studies, English, and the humanities as well, so everyone sit tight because you’ll probably come away with something you can apply to your classroom."

 

Jim Lerman's insight:

 

An exceptional summary of key research on the topic. Succinct practical, and with numerous links, this post is a must-read for every educator starting in about grade 4 up through graduate school and adult ed.

Fake News Checklist

The internet is rife with fake news, some preposterous on its face and some wrapped in a deceptive cloak of credibility. It has wormed its way into the national discourse through bogus “news” outlets and through social media. Reputable fact-checking sites have helped put the lie to many of these stories, but fake news persists in ways that can make it challenging for students to separate fact from fiction – and for teachers to help students understand the difference.

A Reminder That 'Fake News' Is An Information Literacy Problem - Not A Technology Problem - FORBES

A Reminder That 'Fake News' Is An Information Literacy Problem - Not A Technology Problem - FORBES | General learning capabilities | Scoop.it
Beneath the spread of all “fake news,” misinformation, disinformation, digital falsehoods and foreign influence lies society’s failure to teach its citizenry information literacy: how to think critically about the deluge of information that confronts them in our modern digital age. Instead, society has prioritized speed over accuracy, sharing over reading, commenting over understanding. Children are taught to regurgitate what others tell them and to rely on digital assistants to curate the world rather than learn to navigate the informational landscape on their own. Schools no longer teach source triangulation, conflict arbitration, separating fact from opinion, citation chaining, conducting research or even the basic concept of verification and validation. In short, we’ve stopped teaching society how to think about information, leaving our citizenry adrift in the digital wilderness increasingly saturated with falsehoods without so much as a compass or map to help them find their way to safety. The solution is to teach the world's citizenry the basics of information literacy.

Via John Evans
Tina Jameson's insight:
A well presented essay / article on the necessity of teaching our 'citizens' digital and information literacy and to cultivate a persistant and healthy scepticism towards the information they read online.  My favourite phrase in the piece: "Most importantly, we must emphasize verification and validation over virality and velocity."
Federico Santarelli's curator insight, August 4, 2019 11:37 AM
Already, science and technology can help us fight fake news, which is a problem of cultural origin and poor conscience like compulsive sharing, it takes honest conscientious work of individual users in an organization, what do we think, what do we mean, what do we feel ?

One Gut Check and Four Steps Students Can Apply to Fact-Check Information

One Gut Check and Four Steps Students Can Apply to Fact-Check Information | General learning capabilities | Scoop.it

A new approach seeks to equip university students with the tools of fact-checkers.


Check for previous work: Look around to see if someone else has already fact-checked the claim or provided a synthesis of research. [Some places to look: Wikipedia, Snopes, Politifact and NPR’s own Fact Check website.] 


Go upstream to the source: Most web content is not original. Get to the original source to understand the trustworthiness of the information. Is it a reputable scientific journal? Is there an original news media account from a well-known outlet? If that’s not immediately apparent, then move to step 3. 


Read laterally: Once you get to the source of a claim, read what other people say about the source (publication, author, etc.). The truth is in the network. 


Circle back: If you get lost, or hit dead ends or find yourself going down a rabbit hole, back up and start over.


Via EDTECH@UTRGV
Tina Jameson's insight:
I particulary like the advice on the Gut Check - that if you feel any strong emotion to what you ready (anger, sadness, joy etc) STOP before you hit like / send / share. (You are probably being manipulated).
