6.4. Roles of the school librarian and IT teacher
In order to understand the collaborative process more deeply, the
librarian and the IT teacher were interviewed about the roles they
played in this project (Table 5). All 11 teaching staff were also
involved to some degree in designing the content and the process of
the intervention. In this study, the roles of the school librarian and IT
teacher are the subject of interest because the focus was on the
improvement of information literacy and IT skills of the students.
Their roles were defined in terms of the support and guidance they offered to the students and how they collaborated with each other
and with the other subject teachers. During the information literacy
and library sessions, students were equipped with the basic skills for
using various electronic sources. According to the school librarian, the
provision of relevant materials to students, as well as training in using
the materials effectively increased student motivation and interest in
conducting their own inquiry PjBL. The librarian also tried to cultivate
a positive attitude towards the use of the Internet among the students
and cautioned against the access of inappropriate web materials and
Internet overuse. The IT teacher, on the other hand, set up the
WiseNews database and taught students various IT skills, such as
using PowerPoint, Excel, and Chinese input methods. In these ways he
contributed to the development of their self-directed learning. He
commented that, by the end of their projects, students had become
better at creating PowerPoint slides for effective presentation.
