"Evaluation
by both self and peer
is ongoing in this
nonlinear information
process model and
should occur through
each stage. Searchers
use their evaluation
of the process to make
revisions that enable
them to develop their
own unique information
seeking process. It is
through this
continuous evaluation
and revision process
that searchers develop
the ability to become
independent searchers.
Searchers also
evaluate their product
or the results of
their communication of
new knowledge"
(Pappas & Tepe,
1997).

- Example
-
- A
group of middle school
students studies
various musical styles
and creates a video
about a musician’s
life, music, and
times. At the end of
the project, students
use rubrics they have
developed together
with the teacher to
evaluate their
information-searching
process, including
their choice of
keywords, their
success in searching
for information, and
the appropriateness of
the information they
chose. Each student
also uses a rubric to
evaluate his or her
final video and the
videos their
classmates have
created.
