A Comparison of Three Methods of Instruction for Acquiring Information Skills.

Hara, Katsuko

Educational Research, v39 n3 p271-86 Win 1997

Canadian fourth, fifth, and sixth graders (n=300) were given either resource-based instruction (RBI), nonintegrated library instruction, or no library skills instruction. Sixth graders in RBI outperformed sixth graders given no instruction. There were no significant differences between nonintegrated and no instruction. Maximum learning growth occurred for RBI students. (SK)
