I always come back from conferences with a list of books to read, and this year’s LOEX conference was particularly fruitful in that regard. For anyone interested in some of the works that are informing the thinking of instruction librarians, here is a (most definitely incomplete) list of books and articles I heard mentioned:*
- Grant Wiggins: “The Case for Authentic Assessment”
- Donald A. Schön The Reflective Practitioner
- Stephen Brookfield: Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher
- Alison James and Stephen Brookfield: Engaging Imagination
- Megan Boler: Feeling Power: Emotions in Education
- L. Dee Fink: Creating Significant Learning Experiences: An Integrated Approach to Designing College Courses
- Susan A. Ambrose, et al: How Learning Works: Seven Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching
- James R. Davis and Bridget Arend: Facilitating Seven Ways of Learning: A Resource for More Purposeful, Effective, and Enjoyable College Teaching
- Scott Freeman, et al: “Active learning increases student performance in science, engineering, and mathematics” in PNAS (DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1319030111)
- bell hooks: Teaching to Transgress
- Maria T. Accardi, Emily Drabinski, and Alana Kumbier: Critical Library Instruction
- Maria T. Accardi: Feminist Pedagogy for Library Instruction
- Ann Wennerstrom: Discourse Analysis in the Language Classroom v.2
