Abstract

This paper identifies some natural habits and patterns of children's and adolescents' information seeking and use by drawing a wide range of studies conducted with children and adolescents as study participants. The patterns reported here indicate that children's and adolescents' information seeking and use are affected by the nature of information tasks, the qualities of access tools, their cognitive ability to seek and use information, and their prior knowledge and experience about the tasks and topics given. The findings should provide insights for identifying future research issues as well as for programming the information environments particularly conducive to learning.

본 논문은 어린이와 청소년들의 학습을 위한 정보이용에 관한 주요 연구들을 조사 분석하여 자연스런 정보이용의 패턴을 종합적으로 제시하고자 하였다. 어린이와 청소년들이 직접 연구에 참여한 현장중심의 연구들을 통해서 어린이와 청소년들의 정보이용은 정보문제의 성격, 접근도구의 질적 수준, 접근 도구와 정보 문제에 대한 어린이들의 경험과 지식, 그리고 어린이와 청소년들의 인지적 능력간에 밀접한 관계가 있다는 것을 재차 확인하였다. 본 논문이 연구자들에게는 후속연구에 대한 실마리를 제공하고 실무자들에게는 학습을 위한 효과적인 정보이용의 환경 설계와 서비스 기획에 근거를 제공하기를 바란다.
