-
Relevance refers to the source being appropriate to the student’s topic.
-
For example, a fact that 75% of students own a cell phone doesn't directly support the statement that cell phones can be used as educational tools, but it does relate to the general topic of cell phones.
-
Reliability: A website or text should be produced by a trustworthy source; it refers to the credibility of the source.
-
A source containing bias would be unreliable.
-
Bias may include: corporate ownership, confirmation bias, sociocultural bias, etc.
-
Validity refers to the information’s accuracy and/or the source’s logical conclusions.
|
Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
