Reflection






8 August 2017








I am so excited that I'm doing this module.  It is going to help me a lot as now City of Cape Town Public Libraries are expected to do information Literacy trainings in schools, not just in libraries.






Although that I have attended a one day training at work, I still feel empty and not ready or comfortable  to train the students because I also need more training.  There are no doubts that
the information and skills that I will gain during this semester will help me.










Looking forward to it!

It's like Ms Shehaamah said last night that we see how we are taught and then we do it similar to teach others. That is why we will have the confidence to teach others after this module is completed.

ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for higher education

Scholarship as a conversation At first I was confused with this context because one word can have different meanings.  I had to look for the definition of scholarship in information  literacy to understand the context, it says that scholarship is a significant, creative, original engagement with an idea, which include  research that advances theoretical knowledge  or the production of a work or art.  Conversation is defined as a spoken conversation between two people or more, sharing ideas, opinions, and feelings I came up with the better understanding that scholarship as a conversation is based on taking ideas of others and combine them into a readable document, the other definition is where the ideas are created, debated and weighed against one another over extended period of time e.g. when we do our research projects we search for what other researchers or theorists say about that particular topic, we then combine that information and add our opinion...
