    • The terms “instruction” and “pedagogy” are often conflated or used interchangeably. Indeed, the line between the two concepts is in many ways an artificial division but the distinctions between the terms are worth noting. Instruction is, for the most part, primarily practical and is concerned with instructional strategies and classroom practices. Pedagogy is more theoretical and is concerned with the “meta” level questions about teaching, learning, and education. Ideally, the instructional practices and the pedagogical theories inform and are informed by each other to create praxis—a theoretically informed practice and a practice informed theory.

    • For a discussion of the distinction between summative and formative evaluation see Brooke K. Horvath, “The Components of Written Response: A Practical Synthesis of Current Views,” Rhetoric Review 2 (2) (January 1984): 137. Horvath writes: “Determining a paper's grade and writing comments to explain or to justify that grade; deciding how well a paper measures up to one's expectations, fulfills the requirements of an assignment, meets certain criteria of good prose; in short, passing judgment, ranking: this is summative evaluation, which treats a text as a finished product and the student's writing ability as at least momentarily fixed. Formative evaluation, on the other hand, is intent on helping students improve their writing abilities; it approaches a paper ‘not in terms of what has been done, but of what needs to be done, what can be done ... not to judge, but to identify problems and possibilities’ (McDonald 1978). Formative evaluation treats a text as part of an ongoing process of skills acquisition and improvement, recognizing that what is being responded to is not a fixed but a developing entity” (137). Horvath's concern here is responding to student writing but there are useful parallels to be made with information literacy assessments whether on an individual or programmatic basis.

    • The question of how to go about enacting this creative, reflective dialogue is undeniably pressing. In response to this piece, an anonymous reviewer asked a crucial question: “am I simply to include more problem based learning into my teaching of information literacy, or do I need to start from scratch and sit alongside the classes I work with, understanding how they think, and walking with them on their path to critical thinking and information literacy. God please give me the time for this.” The reviewer concludes, “However, this is perhaps the nature of the reflective activity the author is recommending.” Indeed, the answer the reviewer provides to his or her question is the answer I too would offer. The act of asking questions such as the ones quoted above is precisely the kind of reflective activity I am advocating. Pedagogical reflection does not mean we need to dismantle and rebuild our information literacy classes, programs, and initiatives from the ground up (though we may, after reflection, choose to do so). Instead pedagogical reflection means that that we ask questions like the ones quoted above of ourselves and our teaching and that we think critically and creatively about the small and large pedagogical choices we make.
