The study used naturalistic methods to investigate the metacognitive knowledge of 10 adolescents as they searched for, selected, evaluated, and used information for a school-based, inquiry project. The study identified thirteen attributes of metacognitive knowledge related to the information search process: Knowing your strengths and weaknesses, knowing that you don’t ...Cette étude a utilisé les méthodes naturalistes pour examiner les connaissances métacognitives de 10 adolescents lors des processus de recherche, sélection, évaluation et utilisation de l’information, dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche scolaire.

This paper describes the methods used to investigate the metacognitive knowledge of adolescents, aged 16 to 19, as they searched for, selected and used information for a school-based inquiry project. The study has implications for information literacy instruction and contributes to the understanding of adolescent information-seeking behavior.Cette communication décrit les méthodes utilisées pour explorer les connaissances métacognitives d’adolescents, âgés de 16 à 19 ans, lors de la recherche, la sélection et l’utilisation d’information pour un projet de recherche scolaire. Cette étude a des répercussions sur l’enseignement de la culture informationnelle et contribue à la compréhension du comportement de recherche d’information des adolescents.

To learn a lesson well, we need to hear, see, ask questions about it, and discuss it with others. Not only that, teachers need to "do it", that is to describe something in their own way, to show their example, to try to practice their skills and to do tasks that demand the knowledge they have gained.Problems that want to be studied in this research are: Is using Audio-Visual model in students of class IX SMP Negeri 2 Painan year 2015 – 2016. Steps in using the Audio-Visual implementation method? This research was conducted in class VII of SMP Negeri 1 Painan. This place was chosen because based on the results of class observations and interviews with English teachers in the classroom it can be concluded that the skills of students listening in English is still low. This is because teachers do not use adequate techniques, limited books that are in school and media equipment is still lacking. Research time. This research was conducted from early October as a description of the implementation of this study can be seen in the following table: This stage is intended to thoroughly review the actions that have been done, based on data that has accumulated in the previous step. And look for difficulties experienced by students and teachers in the process of action that has been done. Students are invited to discuss each cycle to ask about their difficulties. The teacher reflects on past events as the process of action takes place. All the data obtained are analyzed and evaluated to refine the action in the next cycle or whether or not the treatment given to the students is continued. By knowing that the triggers of low learning activity and learning achievement are in factors such as the method used by the teacher, so the use or replacement of conventional methods into constructivist methods is indispensable, consequently the researchers tried the Audio-Visual learning model in an attempt to solve problems at school.                Based on the low learning activities and student achievement that are presented on the background of the problem, the use of Audio-Visual learning model attempted to be able to complete the purpose of this research is to know the improvement of student achievement. How much improvement has been made clear at the end of the analysis. From the results of the research presented in Chapter IV and all the data that have been submitted, the research objectives submitted can already be achieved. To answer the purpose of research is the achievement of student prestai achievement can be seen evidence that has been submitted. From the baseline data almost all students got the score below, then in cycle I decreased to 8 students and cycle II scores all students above the standard specified in the school. From the initial average of 4.5 increased to 6.3 in cycle I and on the second cycle rose to 7.9. From the initial data no students are complete while in cycle I become more that 4 students and on cycle II all students reach mastery.From all supporting data proving the achievement of learning objectives can be submitted that Audio-Visual model can give the expected answers according to the purpose of this study. All this can be achieved is due to the readiness and hard work of researchers from the time of making the proposal, review the things that have not been good with friends of teachers, preparation of grids and research instruments, the use of means of data triangulation to the implementation of the maximum research.

The user-centred information retrieval needs to introduce semantics into the user modelling for a meaningful representation of user interests. The semantic representation of the user interests helps to improve the identification of the user’s future cognitive needs. In this paper, we present a semantic-based approach for a personalised information retrieval. This approach is based on the design and the exploitation of a user profile to represent the user and his interests. In this user profile, we combine an ontological semantics issued from WordNet ontology, and a personal semantics issued from the different user interactions with the search system and with his social and situational contexts of his previous searches. The personal semantics considers the co-occurrence relations between relevant components of the user profile as semantic links. The user profile is used to improve two important phases of the information search process: (i) expansion of the initial user query and (ii) adaptation of the search results to the user interests.

A presente pesquisa objetivou identificar o comportamento de busca de informação na Internet de bibliotecários e estudantes de ensino médio em oito escolas particulares dos municípios de Itajaí e Florianópolis, estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil. Este estudo entende que o desafio crítico para as escolas é possibilitar o aprendizado a partir de uma variedade de fontes de informação, pois a tecnologia, particularmente a Internet, modifica o ambiente de aprendizagem na escola. Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram averiguar como os bibliotecários compreendem o processo de busca de informação na Internet pelos estudantes e como prestam auxílio a eles, bem como averiguar como se processa a busca de informação pelos estudantes. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados na pesquisa foram um questionário aplicado a 8 bibliotecários, mais um questionário e um roteiro aplicados a 38 estudantes. A pesquisa teve abordagem quanti-qualitativa e análise de conteúdo. Emprega os pressupostos teóricos do Information Search Process de Carol Kuhlthau para investigar como os estudantes buscam a informação. As análises dos dados permitiram inferir que os bibliotecários avaliam que a busca de informação realizada pelos estudantes é um processo que desenvolvem de forma autônoma e com facilidade, que estes atingiram uma percepção mais acurada da Internet, e que são otimistas em relação à informação que recuperam, ainda que incerteza e dúvida sejam sentimentos presentes no decorrer da busca de informação.
