RADCAB - Steps for Online Information Evaluation

RADCAB - Steps for Online Information Evaluation | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Beth Dichter's insight:

There are many resources to help students learn to evaluate websites. This one uses the RADCAB as "A mnemonic acronym for information evaluation." Not only is the poster (see image above) available in an elementary version (as shown) and a middle/high school version (there is a cost). You will also find a page for each letter in RADCAB that provides additional questions and strategies as you go through the RADCAB process which is:

* Relevancy

* Appropriateness

* Detail

* Currency

* Authority

* Bias

These guidelines are particularly helpful in evaluating "science" sources. So much that isa presented as "science" is biased and may be more appropriately categorized as "political science".

Clear and easy to understand.

Researchers generally agree on four major dimensions that contribute to student motivation (below). At least one of these dimensions must be satisfied for a student to be motivated. The more dimensions that are met, and the more strongly they are met, the greater the motivation will be."

Four Dimensions of Motivation:

1. Competence

2. Control/Autonomy

3. Interest/Value

4. Relatedness
