The aim ofthis work is to understand the personal experiences ofDepartment ofInformation and Records Management IRM students engaged in information search processes, to determine whether there are misconceptions about the processes, and ifso to find out which misconceptions exist. The research is based on the model ofKuhlthau's six-stagedInformation Search Process BAS . The data were obtained using a semi-structured interview technique with 13 Ankara University IRM students using purposeful sampling. The data were analysed using the content analysis method. It was determined that the students had misconceptions related to the BAS's stages of “topic selection”, “information collection”, “search closure ”, alongside “determination ofresearch methods ” and “research paper ” which were classified into the “others ” category. This evidence indicates that misconceptions can prevent students fromperforming effectively and efficiently in their information searchprocesses. The results of this research should make an important contribution to library staff, trainers and information retrieval system designers

Anahtar Kelimeler

Bilgi ve Belge Yönetimi Bölümü Öğrencilerinin Bilgi Arama Süreci Deneyimleri: Kavram Yanılgıları

Öz

Araştırmada Bilgi ve Belge Yönetimi Bölümü BBY öğrencilerinin bilgi arama süreçlerindeki kişisel deneyimlerini anlamak, süreçler ile ilgili kavram yanılgılarının olup olmadığını tespit etmek ve kavram yanılgıları var ise, ne tür kavram yanılgılarına sahip olduklarını ortaya çıkartmak amaçlanmıştır. Bu çerçevede, araştırmada Kuhlthau’nun altı aşamalı “Bilgi Arama Süreci BAS ” modeli temel alınmıştır. Veriler; amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak, 13 Ankara Üniversitesi BBY öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği ile elde edilmiştir. Veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile çözümlenmiştir. Verilerin analizi ile elde edilen bulgular sonucunda, öğrencilerin BAS’ın “konu seçimi”, “bilgi toplama”, “tamamlama” aşamaları ve “diğer” kategorisinde sınıflandırılan “araştırma yöntemlerini belirleme” ve “araştırma ödevi” ile ilgili kavram yanılgılarına sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Bulgular kavram yanılgılarının öğrencilerin bilgi arama süreçlerini etkili ve verimli bir biçimde gerçekleştirmelerini engelleyebildiğini göstermiştir. Bu araştırmanın sonuçlarının kütüphanecilere, eğitimcilere ve bilgi erişim sistemi tasarımcılarına önemli bir katkı sunması beklenmektedir.
