Evidence-Based Design of Learning Environments for Information Literacy Development
Keywords:
nformation literacy; Evidence-based practice; Medical education; S-O-R modelAbstract
The research broadens the scope of the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model from environmental psychology to the realm of medical education. It reinterprets elements of evidence-based instructional design, such as authenticity of problems, structural frameworks, and collaborative areas, as environmental triggers for information-seeking actions (organism), thereby enhancing information literacy skills (response). This theoretical shift from tangible to educational settings uncovers the vital role of information-seeking in connecting environmental design with competency results. The model offers theoretical underpinnings for studying environment-behavior in medical training and actionable advice for designing evidence-based practice class.
