Abstract

This panel discusses what teachers can learn from the data gathered for the LILAC Project and how they can use this knowledge in their pedagogy. The LILAC Project is a multi-institutional research project seeking to look at students' information-seeking behaviors. In addition to survey research, and asking students about what they have been taught and what (they think) they know, the project attempts to capture what students are actually doing-and thinking- as they search for information by comparing survey results with video captures that use a "Research Aloud Protocol" (or RAP). The RAP sessions provide insights into what students are doing and what they say about the choices they are making
