A librarian observes that students frequently abandon searches when initial results are poor, rather than refining their strategy. This reflects a gap in which information literacy competency?
Answer: Search strategy and iterative searching
Iterative searching requires learners to revise and refine queries based on results, a metacognitive skill central to effective information literacy.
Which type of knowledge, according to cognitive learning theory, includes procedures and strategies such as how to conduct a Boolean search?
Answer: Procedural knowledge
