ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the inquiry tasks included in the elementary social studies with school library based instruction (SLBI) focused on the information literacy process and select teacher librarians’ educational role under learning for social studies. For this purpose, national elementary curriculum of 4th, 5th and 6th social studies in the second term are analyzed. As results of analysis, the 4th and 5th students who take part in solving the inquiry tasks could compare and analyze illustrations, photographs and texts in their text books individually and present the results with speaking. The 6th students could deal with their tasks using their experience, idea or information found from other resources and express the outcome orally according to the content of inquiry tasks. Therefore, teacher librarians could teach information literacy skills such as comparison, contrast, combination, distinction between opinions and facts, or prediction and inference of conclusion to the 4th and 5th elementary student. Teacher librarians can also participate in whole information literacy instruction for the 6th students from building the solution strategies of tasks, collecting and using materials to completing and evaluating the results under the long term collaboration with the classroom teachers.
