The big 6

After browsing through the frameworks offered for learning design, I selected ‘the big 6’ to be most suitable for my digital learning design. Mike Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz to solve information problems developed this process model. It is an information problem-solving strategy, whereby they claim that most problems could be solved via a six-stage process of essential life skills. These skills systematically ask the questions in order to find, use, apply and evaluate information.
I found it interesting that Linda Jarvin, Ph.D. of the PACE Center, Yale University. conducted some research on the value of 'the big 6'to find that thousands of students who were taught informative nonfiction using the Big6 approach with a combination of analytical, creative, and practical activities, outperformed students who were taught two alternative approaches.
The model is not only designed for classroom use, it can also be transposed into personal settings and into work settings, which is where i see the value.
