Teaching in a post-truth era : supporting students to reason about online information
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Although young people increasingly rely on the Internet as a source of information, the web's growing complexity has outpaced educational efforts. When asked to evaluate digital content, students often make judgements based on perceived usefulness, appearance, or relevance, or they outsource responsibility for judging reliability to something they assume does a better job—a search engine algorithm. Furthermore, disparities in technological access and learning experiences threaten to expand and determine who has opportunities to learn to evaluate online information. The articles in this dissertation outline the beginnings of an educational response. Taken together, they investigate how students reason about online information (and how schools may, purposefully or not, contribute to students' strategies), characterize skilled practice, and probe how core content area teachers might help students learn to evaluate digital content.
