Grounded in extensive research and instruction experience, archivist
Julie Thomas discusses the relevant theories, literacies, pedagogy,
and methodologies from intra- and inter-related fields of study that
form the building blocks for teaching primary source research skills
(PSRS). Instructors will find guidance that cuts across disciplines and
is more descriptive than manuals and more prescriptive than guidelines.
Thomas introduces new concepts and terminology as well as questions
some of the longstanding principles traditionally associated with
primary source research.
With plentiful examples and practical applications for teaching
novice, advanced, and expert learners, readers will explore
- characteristics of 21st-century learners, their pedagogical
requirements, and how they differ from previous generations
of learners;
- sixteen literacies and twelve associated competencies and
educational theories attendant with effectively teaching PSRS
to 21st-century learners;
- a variety of pedagogical paradigms and strategies for adeptly
implementing those literacies, competencies, and theories;
and
- useful assessment and outreach activities, including their
significance, challenges, and various approaches.
