“…Whereas, several studies, such as [15,16] refers that web 2.0 and social media tools such as blogs and wikis are becoming more authentic sources for information seekers and that online social spaces are widely used platforms for multitask interactions. Studies [17,18] also show that video sharing receive 75% higher share rate while, image updates receive 98% higher engagement rate than other types of online information sharing.…”

Abstract:Purpose: There is ample evidence that students and teachers often seek academic information using participatory online social sites (POSS). The purpose of this study is to explore the intent of social information seeking (SIS) among library & information science research students in Pakistan. The study also attempts to examine the relationship between change in information behaviour and information retrieval strategies while seeking information from online social spaces. The influence of online collaboration in the use of social media was also examined. Methodology: Quantitative research method was used to conduct this study. Data was collected from 123 research (MPhil & PhD) students currently enrolled in seven postgraduate library schools in Pakistan. The data was gathered using survey questionnaire (using 5-point Likert scale items), administered both in print format and online through Google Form. SPSS version 19 was used to analyse the data. Findings: Major findings of this study were that there is a strong positive correlation between SIS and change in the overall information behaviour of research students. Majority of participants responded that social websites help in reshaping the information behaviour in a collaborative environment thus contributing to upsurge the SIS practices among research students. The study also found that LIS research scholars in Pakistan prefer to consult interactive websites more than social media spaces for academic information. Gender has been an influencing variable in SIS practices, however, time spent and frequency of using POSS does not affect one's SIS practices. Originality: Social Information helps people to connect with each other and is comparatively a new concept in the field of Information Seeking Behaviour. This is the first study on SIS with respect to LIS research students in Pakistan.

“…The use of social media varies depending on the context of information seeking. Previous studies suggest that gender has also been an important variable that influences the use of social media, see [15,38,39]. However, little research exists on user variables that influence the use of social media for information seeking [40].…”

“…By isolating knowledge as a unique dimension with four objective characteristics, knowledge can now be more easily examined as an independent outcome and measured against the cognitive process dimension (L. W. Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001). Researchers have applied Bloom's Taxonomy and its revised version extensively to understand the types of knowledge and learning activities across various settings and through different technologies (P. C. Lin, Hou, Wang, & Chang, 2013;Thompson, LuxtonReilly, Whalley, Hu, & Robbins, 2008).…”

Aim/PurposeThe purpose of the study is to provide foundational research to exemplify how knowledge construction takes place in microblogging-based learning environments, to understand learner interaction representing the knowledge construction process, and to analyze learner perception, thereby suggesting a model of delivery for microblogging. Background Up-and-coming digital native learners crave the real-time, multimedia, globalinterconnectedness of microblogging, yet there has been limited research that specifically proposes a working model of Twitter's classroom integration for designers and practitioners without bundling it in with other social media tools. MethodologyThis semester-long study utilized a case-study research design via a multidimensional approach in a hybrid classroom with both face-to-face and online environments. Tweets were collected from four types of activities and coded based on content within their contextual setting. Twenty-four college students participated in the study. ContributionThe findings shed light on the process of knowledge construction in microblogging and reveal key types of knowledge manifested during learning activities. The study also proposes a model for delivering microblogging to formal learning environments applicable to various contexts for designers and practitioners. FindingsThere are distinct learner interaction patterns representing the process of knowledge construction in microblogging activities ranging from low-order to high-order cognitive tasks. Students generally were in favor of the Twitter integration in this study. Examining Collaborative Knowledge Construction 366 Recommendations for PractitionersThe three central activities (exploring hashtags, discussion topics, and participating in live chats) along with the backchannel activity formulate a working model that represents the sequential process of Twitter integration into classrooms. Impact on Society Microblogging allows learners omnichannel access while hashtags can filter the global noise down to meaningful bytes of information to target formal and informal learning. When shared amongst global users for participatory communication, it gives access to collaborative knowledge. This study gives practitioners and designers a working model to leverage microblogging and connect to their tech-savvy learners for more connected learning. Future ResearchFuture research may include experiments of this proposed model for delivering microblogging in: prolonged studies; compared to other microblogging methodologies; in non-hybrid delivery models such as asynchronous-only; in other academic or professional disciplines; or in other educational age ranges.

“…Students can then directly collaborate with them, discuss questions they may have, or even share knowledge and experiences with them. More study on the variations in the use of the Internet for learning can be found the work of many authors today such as Bowman & Akcaoglu (2014), Kharea, Thapa, & Sahoo (2007), Lin, Hou, Wang, & Chang (2013), Lin, Hou, Wu, & Chang (2014), Rovai, Wighting, Baker, & Grooms (2009), Yeni (2012).…”

This study aims to investigate how students search and process the information found on the Internet to meet the needs of their academic tasks as well as how they view such information compared to printed materials. The study was conducted targeting the student teachers at Primary School Teacher Education (PGMI) Program and Kindergarten Teacher Education Program (PGRA) in State Islamic University Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Such information search and processing are then later viewed through the lens of Blooms' taxonomy. A qualitative method using the phenomenological approach is adopted in the study. Nine student participants of 1st, 2nd, 3rd-year classes were interviewed. The study indicates that the presence of the Internet as a source of learning has not shifted the role of the textbook as a primary source of information for the students while working on their academic assignments. It was revealed that the information search activities on the Internet have facilitated students to experience the four domains of the learning process in Bloom's Taxonomy.Keywords: Bloom's Taxonomy, Online Sources, The Source of Learning. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyajikan hasil penelitian tentang bagaimana mahasiswa mencari dan memproses informasi yang ditemukan di Internet untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tugas-tugas
