Big6 問題解決流程

為 Michael Eisenberg 和 Robert E. Berkowitz 所開發的 BIG 6 教學方法的網站。網站中除了介紹 BIG6 外，讀者可瀏覽相關公告、研討會的訊息，參閱相關的書目資料、 eNewsletter 的專題報導、訊息 … 等，或連結至其他和 Big6 概念及資源相關的網站。另外，網站並提供許多相關的參考資源，像是如何應用 BIG 6 於課程的教案，即針對不同的年齡層（ K-12 ），提供各種課程設計的教案範本；另有各學者專家應用 BIG 6 於課堂上的經驗及他們施行 BIG 6 教學的一些研究文獻。(資料來源：中華資訊素養學會）

所謂Big6，是取其六個步驟英文名稱的一個字母，然後組合而成（B-I-G-S-I-X），如下面粗體字母所示：

1. Be sure you understand the problem. Task Definition 確切地瞭解探究的問題——定義問題
2. Identify sources of information. Information Seeking 確定資訊資源的範圍——搜尋策略
3. Gather relevant information. Location & Access 獲取相關資訊——取得資訊
4. Select a solution. Use of Information 選擇一個解決方案——利用資訊
5. Integrate the ideas into a product. Synthesis 把觀點整合到作品中——整合資訊
6. eXamine the result. Evaluation 檢查結果——評鑑成果

“Data collected from thousands of students showed that students who were taught informative nonfiction using the Big6 approach with a combination of analytical, creative, and practical activities, outperformed students who were taught two alternative approaches (see materials at: www.yale.edu/pace).” — Linda Jarvin, Ph.D., Associate Director, PACE Center, Yale University

Developed by educators Mike Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz, the Big6 is the most widely-known and widely-used approach to teaching information and technology skills in the world. The Big6 is an information and technology literacy model and curriculum, implemented in thousands of schools - K through higher education. Some people call the Big6 an information problem-solving strategy because with the Big6, students are able to handle any problem, assignment, decision or task. Here are the six stages we call the BIG6. Two sub-stages are part of each main category in the Big6 model:

1. Task Definition
1.1 Define the information problem
1.2 Identify information needed

2. Information Seeking Strategies
2.1 Determine all possible sources
2.2 Select the best sources

3. Location and Access
3.1 Locate sources (intellectually and physically)
3.2 Find information within sources

4. Use of Information
4.1 Engage (e.g., read, hear, view, touch)
4.2 Extract relevant information

5. Synthesis
5.1 Organize from multiple sources
5.2 Present the information

6. Evaluation
6.1 Judge the product (effectiveness)
6.2 Judge the process (efficiency)

People go through these Big6 stages—consciously or not—when they seek or apply information to solve a problem or make a decision. It’s not necessary to complete these stages in a linear order, and a given stage doesn’t have to take a lot of time. We have found that almost all successful problem-solving situations address all stages.
