The Big 6 Research skills
One method of teaching information skills for investigating sources of information from databases, encyclopaedias and the internet is that known as “the Big Six.” The following is an outline of the process described in this method. www.big6.com/kids/
1. Define the task what needs to be done?2. Information Seeking Strategies what resources can I use?3. Location and Access where can I find these resources?4. Use of information what can I use from these resources?5. Synthesis what can I make to finish the job?6. Evaluation how will I know I did my job well?
