Creator/Author	Casey, Anne Marie, Central Michigan University Libraries
Title	How Does a Pre-Assessment of Off-Campus Students' Information Literacy Affect the Effectiveness of Library Instruction?
Additional Contributors	Ivanitskaya, Lana; DuFord, Susan; Craig, Monica
Date	2008
Publisher	Central Michigan University; Haworth Information Press
Description	Slides from a conference presentation of a study that investigates the impact pre-tests have on the effectiveness of library instruction. Compares results based on whether or not students are given feedback on their pre-test performance. Librarians and academic faculty partnered to measure library instruction outcomes in two Master's degree classes. The Research Readiness Self-Assessment (RRSA) was used as a pre-test (before instruction) and a post-test (after instruction) in Class 1 and as a post-test only in Class 2. Students who completed both tests performed significantly better on a post-test, earning higher scores on obtaining information and overall information literacy. They reported greater library/research experience and less reliance on browsing. Compared to students who did not take a pre-test, students who received pre-test-based feedback had higher scores on library/research experience and lower scores on reliance on browsing. To enhance the effectiveness of library instruction, students can be given pre-test-based feedback that compares their actual and perceived literacy and encourages the use of library databases.
