Information Process Models

Information Process Models


Interesting, the number of information process models there are out there. After examining a few I have realized that as a classroom teacher, I have my own information processing model that I automatically use with my students. I always keep it in mind particularly when designing research projects for my students. I have recently discovered that not all teachers do this.


Upon seeing a project I was working on with some year 6/7 students, another teacher asked me how I had developed this particular project. I spent some time going over my process with her and she asked if I minded if she adopted it to use with her class. I was surprised as this particular teacher is much younger (second year out) and more techno savvy than me. Perhaps my use of the information process is something I have developed through my years of teaching?????


I have enjoyed going over the details included in some of the models I have looked at. Kuhlthau's is interesting in that it includes how the user is feeling at each stage of the process. Food for thought when developing my next research project............
