They must be generalists because e.g. students with different backgrounds to a higher degree bring multi- and interdisciplinarity into the situation of creating knowledge and problem solving. It is a situation where counselling is about how to prioritise and combine the multidisciplinarity rather than knowing a subject in depth.</p> <p>The purposes of this workshop are:</p> <ul> <li> To facilitate answers to the challenges IL practitioners meet in their work in an educational environment characterized by diversity </li> <li> To go through a process from pedagogical reflection to practical ideas about teaching or counselling. </li> </ul> <p>The participants will be challenged on their pedagogical awareness, competencies and creativity and on their understanding of information literacy.</p> <p>The participants will not be given the answers, but in order to live up to the concept of a workshop, we must all work and participate in the exploration for answers.</p> <p>The workshop will be a mix of understandings of IL, investigations of diversity and creating knowledge, pedagogical tools, examples of teaching materials, theoretical concepts and creative processes.</p> <p>We will deal with the following questions:</p> <ul> <li> How does IL fit into the process of creating knowledge? </li> <li> How should we look at information literacy? As a defined set of skills, qualifications and competencies or as a readiness to handle certain intellectual or academic situations? </li> <li> Does diversity mean the end of information literacy standards? </li> </ul>}, number={1}, journal={Nordic Journal of Information Literacy in Higher Education}, author={Vibjerg Hansen, Thomas}, year={2010}, month={Sep.} }
