This poster describes how librarians, teachers and students collaborate at the Faculty of Law at Lund University in order to support the law students to achieve the learning outcomes.The purpose is to highlight the use of peers as a part of the learning support. When The Bologna process took place in 2007, the library introduced a plan on how to achieve the learning outcomes concerning information literacy. Information literacy is an important competence for law students and professionals and is therefore stressed in the learning outcomes. A central feature is that the outcomes should be closely related to the contents of each course so that the students practice information literacy as part of the subject law. To make best use of different competencies the library suggested a three folded support structure. Student teachers give database instructions for solving course assignments; subject teachers and librarians work together in lectures concerning document cultures and law practices; librarians are responsible for lectures concerning problem solving and information seeking. The faculty has a long tradition of hiring students to assist in teaching on a basic level. One reason to use peers in teaching is that students are close to the learning process and are familiar with difficulties. The students also have other perspectives on the topics being taught, which can be useful in their teaching (Biggs & Tang, 2011, p. 147). The information lectures have very often a high amount of participants, which sort of confirm the teaching organization. The library is responsible for coordinating the information literacy and work in close relation with the student teachers and the subject teachers. The librarians repeatedly discuss with the subject teachers and the student teachers about the learning outcomes and the assignments on the course. Exercises and questions for the students are jointly developed. The librarians also write manuals for the lectures given by librarians and student teachers.We believe this way of organizing support is one way to enhance student learning both in information literacy and in subject learning.

People are facing the growth and access of information, as well as the various forms of communication. While some part of society experience a lack of information, others are flooded with printed, broadcast and digital content. UNESCO argues that media and information literacy can provide answers to questions related to our culture of information and critical thinking. Media literacy must be discussed through education, because teachers are the key person to literacy of the society. An important way to update media literacy among teachers and students is to introduce it in the curriculum. The topic of media literacy is currently included in the curriculum based on the new competency approach in Latvia. When evaluating the curriculum of the subject of the Latvian language, the aim of the paper is to determine which topics and aspects of media literacy are included in the curriculum of the Latvian language and what pupils' skills and knowledge they promote.

The Problem-Based Learning (ABP) methodology requires an evaluation approach in which a series of specific and transversal competencies are evaluated. This evaluation must be formative allowing students to identify and correct mistakes in time. Therefore, it is necessary to have tools in order to evaluate suitably the learning outcomes and established competencies. In the subject of Corrosion which belongs to the second course of the Master of Chemical Engineering, the ABP has been evaluated through a report to be handed after each ABP session, where the main conclusions are collected after the cooperative resolution of the proposed problem and, on the other hand, by means of the notes taken by the teachers and students (co-assessment and self-assessment), after the oral presentation of the results and conclusions of the practice. In this work, for each of these evaluation activities, specific rubrics have been developed. From the different evaluation activities, it can be affirmed that the rubrics used are effective for the evaluation of the ABP methodology activities. In addition, it was possible to verify that the students have reached the learning results and it was also possible to detect the corrosion issues that pose the greatest difficulty to the students.

Setting tasks plays a key role in geography lessons, as they enable students to engage with the subject content, guide lessons towards predefined learning outcomes, and are therefore important for assessment. At the same time, the use of tasks is complex as numerous aspects regarding the content and the students have to be taken into account. Based on theoretical and empirical literature, we identify seven quality criteria for tasks in geography education: motivating and engaging students; addressing the heterogeneity of students; structuring learning processes; comprehensible formulation; considering individual and social learning processes; making meaningful use of materials; and fostering the development of subject specific competences. These criteria were applied in observation of lessons, which were given during an exchange between student geography teachers from a Dutch and German university. Overall, it was found that student teachers recognize the defined quality criteria, but half of them focus on only one or two aspects. The difficulties student teachers face in task setting during their traineeship can partly be explained by their phase of apprenticeship and the context. The developed observation form was considered to be valuable for preparation and observation of and reflection on tasks in geography lessons, and the exchange enabled student teachers to gain an insight into their own teaching practice.

This article presents student experiences and learning outcomes in information literacy (IL) and evidence-based practice (EBP) following interdisciplinary supervision of their assignments by nurse educators, nurse supervisors and librarians in real clinical settings.The article is based on qualitative and quantitative text analysis of 102 individual student logs, qualitative text analysis of 36 student group assignments, feedback from an evaluation form and 285 blog and wiki comments from students, nurse educators, nurse supervisors and librarians. It is analysed according to the first five steps of the EBP model of and feedback from an evaluation form.The students’ learning outcomes in information literacy improved by using the EBP model. By the end of the project period, 83 % of the students had integrated a focus on research-based knowledge into their work placement assignment. The interdisciplinary joint supervision and a related blog and wiki communication forum had significant influence on this outcome space. The preparation programme for the students on campus, before work practice placements was developed collaboratively between the nursing education programme and the Learning Centre and library.There is very little existing research on the effect of cross-collaborative supervision in IL where both physical and digital tools have been used in work placements. This challenges established routines and ways of conducting supervision in IL in both the library and nursing education, because of the need to collaborate more tightly than before.

Abstract There appears to be a general, global trend of many students not taking chemistry related courses at post-secondary institutions, while the academic performance of the subject at secondary level is on the decline. Addressing the performance and unpopularity gaps of the subject requires an exploration of effective pedagogical practices. One critical objective of a chemistry teacher is to create an active learning environment. However, due to insufficient research, relatively little is known about the concept and role of class talk interaction in enhancing learners’ engagement and inquiry-related curiosity. To address the gap, the current study explored the effect of class talk interaction on students’ learning outcomes in chemistry. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The study involved a sample of 384 students and 30 teachers, drawn from 30 public secondary schools in Murang’a County, Kenya. Data was collected through validated instruments which included students’ questionnaire, interview schedule, observation checklists and also a Chemistry achievement test. Descriptive statistics revealed that learners were very poor in utilizing class talk interaction, in comparison with teachers who were rated above average. Further, inferential statistics involving one way ANOVA revealed that there was a statistically significant effect of class talk on learning outcomes, while simple regression revealed that class talk is a strong predictor of learning outcomes. These results indicate a need for policy interventions aimed at achieving meaningful instructional class talk interaction between teachers and students as a way of improving learning outcomes.
