The BCPS Online Research Models (ORMs) and Slam Dunks are learner-centered digital research lessons designed to guide students through a structured inquiry process. The research models have been developed by collaborative teams of library media specialists, teachers, and content specialists since 1998. The structure and process for these customized lessons are informed by research-based information literacy process models including Guided Inquiry Design (Kuhlthau, Maniotes, and Caspari) and the Slam Dunk Digital Lesson (McKenzie).
Students who use these self-guided online research lessons are challenged to engage in reading and the use of digital media; analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of information; and collaboration, communication, and creativity, using a variety of tools to build and present knowledge. The research models integrate disciplinary learning with the development of information literacy and 21st century skills. Lessons are aligned to relevant learning standards as described below.
Research models are supported by direct instruction from school library media specialists at identified "zones of intervention," based on the demands of the research task and students' prior learning. Tutorials and teaching/learning resources are available on-demand in our BCPS Research Guides for Grades K-2, 3-4, 5-8 and 9-12.
