    Kuhlthau's Information Search Process

    The image depicted by Caraveo shows a series of rectangles. They each have a title of the phase of the research process, and the thoughts, feelings, and actions associated with each phase as well as a visual of a human experiencing each phase. Under the rectangles is a yellow ribbon which goes up and down, depicting the emotional arch of the journey. Below is a chart that explains Kuhthau’s information search process:

    Article Mapping: Who Cited Whom

    The image is of a sheet of paper where I wrote "Peer Teachers as Instructors (Medical)" at the top. On the next line, I have three different citations in a row with which term each citation defined.

    • (Ten Cate & Durning 2007) - Definition: near peer teacher
    • (Bulte, Betts, Garner, Durning 2007) - Definition: near peer teacher
    • (Lockespeiser, O'Sullivan, Teherani, Muller, 2008) - PAL "peer assisted learning"

    The next row shows to citations. The first (Jackson & Evans 2012 "NPT") has lines to all three of the above citations. The second (Evans, Cuffe 2009 "NPT") has lines only to the second two citations.

    The third row has two citations. (Reyes-Hernandez et al 2014 "NPT") has a line to (Evans & Cuffe) from the second row. (Alkhail 2015) "Near peer assisted learning" NPAL has lines to the second two citations from the first row.

    The next three rows have the following citations:

    • (Stephens, Hall, Andrade, Border 2016) "NPT" has a line just to the 2nd citation in the top row
    • (Williams & Nguyen 2016) NPT Healthcare has a line to all citations in the top row
    • (Rees, Quinn, DAvies, Fotherham 2016) "NPT" has lines to just the first and second citations in the top row.

    Return to text.

    Artile Mapping 2: Patterns

    This is a photo of a sheet of paper titled Library - "Peer Teachers" with citations in two columns.

    The first column has the following citations:

    • Deese-Roberts & Keating 2000
    • Holliday & Nordgren 2005
    • Mathson & Salisbury 2009
    • Dementer 2011

    There is a line connecting the first and third citations. Another line connects the second and third citations.

    The second column has the following citations:

    • Ronan & Pappas 2001
    • Evanson 2015
    • Mestre & lecrone 2015
    • Denda & hunter 2016
    • LaFlamme & Kipphut-smith 2018

    The first citation has a line to the Mathson & Salisbury citation in the first column. The third and fourth citations have a line connecting them. Another line connects the fourth and fifth citations.

    A key shows depicts various patterns with a color. Thus, the pattern "Instruction" is visually color-coded for just the Ronan & Pappas citation. The pattern "Tutor" shows the entire first column relates to this. Another color is used for the pattern "Empowerment/creativity" and connects the second, third, and fourth citations in the second column. The last color designates the pattern "Theory" and connects the last two citations.

    Article Mapping 3: Mind Map

    This is a photo of a sheet of paper with five circled words. Each circled word then connects to several of the article citations, shown by lines drawn.

    • Instruction with lines to:
      • Ten Cate & Durning 2007
      • Bulte, Betts, Garner, Durning 2007 (also lines to Assessment)
      • Ronan & Pappas 2001 (also lines to "of peer teachers", Library)
      • Lockspeiser et al 2008 (also lines to Assessment)
    • Assessment with lines to:
      • Bulte, Betts, Garner, Durning 2007 (also lines to Instruction)
      • Lockspeiser et al 2008 (also lines to Instruction)
      • Connects to two more words as well:
        • "of student learning" with lines to:
          • Hanson et al 2016
          • Dancer et al 2015
        • "of peer teacher experience" with line to:
          • Ronan & Pappas 2001 (also lines to Instruction, Library)
    • Library with lines to:
      • Deese-Roberts, Keatog 2000
      • Dementer 2011
      • Evanson 2009 (also lines to "theory/rationale")
      • LaFlamme & Kipphut-Smith 2018 (also lines to "theory/rationale)
      • Denda & Hunter 2016 (also lines to "theory/rationale")
    • Theory/Rationale with lines to:
      • Evanson 2009 (also lines to "library")
      • LaFlamme & Kipphut-Smith 2018 (also lines to "library")
      • Denda & Hunter 2016 (also lines to "library")
