Many people use technological tools that are widely accessible, respond quickly, and have extensive information networks today. Due to recent technological advances in education and the increasing acceptance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, the issues regarding their implementation in education require identification and analysis.…

This chapter defines digital primary source literacy, identifies three key competencies necessary for students to develop when working with online archival sources as part of their course work, and provides a case study of a classroom exercise that can be adapted by faculty looking to develop these skills in their students.

We adapted and evaluated the effects of a classroom intervention (extension of https://doi-org.bibliotheek.ehb.be/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2018.04.006) on undergraduates' sourcing skills. Students (n = 266) received either a teacher-led intervention (trained group) or regular classes (control group) and were assessed before, after, and 6 to 8 weeks after the…

Are we in an epistemological crisis, where separate and distinct communities of inquiry limit shared understandings of truth? In this essay, I turn to the political and educational thought…

When deciding whether to trust someone's claims, how do children combine - over multiple interactions - information about that person's general behavioral tendencies (traits) with that person's ongoing (and changing) rate of providing accurate claims? Children aged 4-8 played 11 rounds of a find-the-sticker game. For each round, an informant…

Research into "discourse synthesis" examines the ways in which writers make use of, and transform, multiple other texts in writing their own. It is intertextual research that has blurred boundaries of various kinds, not only the boundary between the processes of reading and writing but also boundaries across disciplines as well as…

The ambition of the article is to create an awareness among upper secondary school pupils on what academic integrity and source criticism mean.

The demands on lecturers in higher education to select, structure, and contextualise relevant and up-to-date resources for their students have increased; behaviour that is often referred to as curation.

The children watched…

This paper explores the efficacy of ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence in educational contexts, particularly concerning its potential to assist students in overcoming academic challenges while highlighting its limitations. ChatGPT is suitable for solving general problems. When a student comes across academic challenges, ChatGPT may…

In this article, the authors explain how librarians can use positionality theory to understand how students produce value judgments around questions of bias, authority, and credibility. Librarians can help guide students to recognize the student's own positionality when approaching issues of bias. Students are often instructed to choose credible…

Parents of young children routinely search for child care and early education (CCEE). Nationally, approximately 30 percent of households in 2019 with a child under six years of age reported searching for CCEE in the past 24 months (Kabourek 2024). Parents arrange CCEE so they can work or attend school and to support their child's learning. Yet…
