A major goal of Saskatchewan Learning is to develop life long learners. One way for you to assist your students in achieving that goal is by introducing them to the strategies which involve seeking, finding and analyzing information. The tutorials in this research plan are designed to assist you and your student in reaching that goal.
This Research Strategy Plan encompass various teaching strategies, organizational skills, and processes to teach the research process. Using this plan will help teachers and students to realize the effective acquisition of research skills.
These research tutorials were developed to support the Grade Eight Social Studies Curriculum, but they could be successfully applied to any curricular area from grade six to twelve. This tutorial can be tailored to fit many projects and is designed to allow teachers and students to focus one, several, or all of the research steps.

Digital Information Fluency (DIF)
http://21cif.imsa.edu/resources/difcore
Digital Information Fluency (DIF) Model
Digital Information Fluency (DIF) is the ability to find, evaluate and use digital information effectively, efficiently and ethically.
DIF involves knowing how digital information is different from print information; having the skills to use specialized tools for finding digital information; and developing the dispositions needed in the digital information environment. As teachers and librarians develop these skills and teach them to students, students will become better equipped to achieve their information needs.

James E. Herring's PLUS Model site.
http://jimmy.qmuc.ac.uk/usr/jherri/plus/default.htm
The PLUS model is an Information Skills Process model which, like The Big Six and Marland's models, is designed to provide a way for pupils in schools to acquire the nessasary range of skills needed to identify their own information needs and make effective use of reading, note-taking, writing and communication skills. The PLUS model seeks to incorporate the key elements of previous models while adding emphasis on thinking skills and self evaluation.
The PLUS model provides a framework which teachers and school librarians can use to increase pupils' awareness of the importance of thinking about what they read, view or listen to. As the availability of information continues to increase in the future, it will be matched by an increased need for the effective use of information and ideas.

The Inquiry Page : Learning Begins with Questions
Welcome! The Inquiry Page is more than a website. It's a dynamic virtual community where inquiry-based education can be discussed, resources and experiences shared, and innovative approaches explored in a collaborative environment.
Based on John Dewey's philosophy that education begins with the curiosity of the learner, we use a spiral path of inquiry: asking questions, investigating solutions, creating new knowledge as we gather information, discussing our discoveries and experiences, and reflecting on our new-found knowledge.

Models and Process for Information Inquiry
http://eduscapes.com/info/models.htm
Models and Process for Information Inquiry
Many educators and librarians have designed models to illustrate how teachers and learners act in information inquiry situations. Other models have been developed for processes such as instructional design, thinking, and writing.
During the 1980s educators and librarians experienced a surge of interest in information skills. At the peak of the HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) movement, educators were finding that a process approach to information inquiry could be found across the curriculum.
Daniel Callison identifies five components of information inquiry including questioning, exploration, assimilation, inference, and reflection. He states that all the models are constructed of these basic elements.

Information Skills Model - Marland (1981) and NCET (1996)
In 1981 a Schools Council Working Group was set up to investigate the development of information skills. This group produced a report (1) which was sent to every secondary school in England and Wales and became the definitive model of information handling. The report identified nine steps or stages which pupils of any age should go through in order to successfully complete an information handling task in any subject of the curriculum.
