Abstract

V originále

The aim of the study is the methods of participatory curriculum design. There is a widely shared idea that for a successful education, the curriculum must be made up not by the state or professionals, but by the community. Specifically, we will focus on the issue of designing an online information literacy course, which we, as a university, create for high schools. We are based on three sources – strategic documents and competence frameworks, teachers, and students. All three sources are involved in creating the final version of the course. The study describes the entire course design process – from the original idea, through desk research, internal research, prototype creation to prototype evaluation. During the research, we worked with data from five high schools. The knowledge and competence test was passed by 95 students and based on the AASL framework. Subsequently, focus groups (8) with 42 students were led. In the case of teachers (8), we performed a qualitatively oriented g-methodology, followed by semi-structured interviews and an analysis of three school curricula. Based on these researches, we created a map of topics of interest to students and teachers. We implemented them in an open online course (which now exists as a validated prototype). The aim of the study is to show how working with students and teachers can be useful in curriculum development, and to offer methodological experience with such a participatory online learning design.
