In this article, we mainly want to investigate the transition of the subjects of children’s information needs and we discuss the context behind those needs. Moreover, in order to more understand the education of information literacy in Taiwan, we deliberately set our two sample groups from two different schools. One school is Taipei Xin Sheng elementary which is not a information seed school, and another is Taipei Wan Fang elementary school, an information seed school. We respectively interviewed with the students of two schools. Then we analyzed the common of the two schools and so did the differences. The findings of our study are presented in five parts: stimulus, source, channels, ways and the result. Finally, the main purpose and recommend of our study emphasize the importance to improve education of information literacy on children in Taiwan.

The Common

The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics and English/Language Arts necessitate that teachers provide opportunities for their students to write about mathematical concepts in ways that extend beyond simply a summary of how students solve mathematical tasks. This chapter describes a series of vignettes about how digital tools can provide elementary school students with the opportunity to write about mathematics concepts that they are working with. Implications for providing these opportunities to elementary school students and supporting teachers are also provided.

School-based body mass index (BMI) screening and parent notification programs have been advanced as an obesity prevention strategy. However, little is known about how to develop and implement programs. This qualitative study explored the opinions and beliefs of parents of elementary school students concerning school-based BMI screening programs, notification methods, message content, and health information needs related to promoting healthy weight for school-aged children. Ten focus groups were conducted with 71 participants. Parents were generally supportive of school-based BMI screening. However, they wanted assurance that student privacy and respect would be maintained during measurement and that BMI results would be provided to parents in a neutral manner that avoided weight labeling. They also believed that aggregate results should be disseminated to the larger school community to support healthy change in the nutrition and physical activity environments of schools. Implications for practitioners and researchers are discussed.
