The Documentary Research within the Information and Documentation Centre (IDC) Premises of a Case Study
This study is an investigation on integrating the users’ (pupils and teachers) desk research conducted within the Information and Documentation Centre (IDC) in the didactic activity, through project-based pedagogy, with a view to elaborating a local strategy (at school level) on developing and including information-documentation competences in the development of subject-specific competences of future graduates of compulsory education. The introduction presents words and concepts that are relevant to the topic of the research; then, the study covers an applicative research framework methodology (methods, instruments) aimed at identifying the appropriateness of the project based pedagogical method in exploiting the documentation actions within the IDC, by developing the pupils’ correlated competences. The study highlights that the goal of training pupils in the information-documentation field through didactic activities can be fulfilled in optimal conditions by using the IDC as a specialized and attractive information documentation structure and by applying the pedagogic project as a modern and efficient didactic method.
