CURRENT TRENDS IN THE USE OF INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTATION SOURCES BY STUDENTS

In the context of increasing the amount of information and documentation structures, we notice a change in students' orientation to information obtained from on-line sources. In the education and documentation activity of the students are used various information as format: printed (books, courses, journals), digital, audio, multimedia. The recommendations for the individual study refer to thematic bibliographies, scientific reference works in the field, doctoral theses, official reports, etc., but also to electronic information sources: cd/dvd, video recordings, electronic books, databases, motors search, platforms and portals. A study conducted in University of Bucharest, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, reveals an increase in the past years of the preference and use by students of electronic documentary sources, to the detriment of the printed ones. Frequently, this focus on online sources can cause a number of impediments that students encounter in identifying relevant information for a domain. There is a real difficulty in dealing with the avalanche of information and studies on a chosen topic and poor education in the use of on-line scientific documentation structures. The negative effects of this trend could be, among other things, the loss of relevant information for the field, the tendency to form a distorted image of a subject, to use information from unverified sources, and the increase in plagiarism, and rather the orientation towards conclusions already drawn to the detriment of training of critical scientific thinking. This shift in interest in the use of electronic resources determines the need for increased accountability in online publishing and a better adaptation of teaching and learning methods and resources in university education. The paper aims to investigate students' current trends in online documentation and information in order to improve the quality of education in documentation and information, to facilitate access to relevant information in the scientific field, and to improve the teaching-learning process.

随着信息总量与文献资料体系的持续扩容，我们观察到学生在信息获取来源的选择倾向上正发生转变，愈发依赖线上渠道获取信息。在学生的教育与文献调研活动中，会用到多种形式的信息资源：印刷型资源（书籍、课程资料、期刊）、数字型资源、音频型资源及多媒体型资源。针对个人学习的推荐资源涵盖专题书目、本领域学术参考著作、博士学位论文、官方报告等，同时也包括各类电子信息源：CD/DVD光盘、录像资料、电子图书、数据库、搜索引擎、平台与门户网站。布加勒斯特大学（University of Bucharest）心理学与教育科学学院开展的一项研究显示，近年来学生对电子文献资源的偏好与使用占比持续上升，而印刷型文献的使用则相应减少。然而这种过度聚焦线上资源的倾向，往往会给学生检索特定领域的相关信息带来诸多阻碍：学生不仅难以应对选定主题下铺天盖地的信息与研究成果，同时也缺乏针对线上科学文献资源使用方法的系统教育。这一趋势带来的负面影响包括：错失本领域的核心相关信息、易对研究主题形成片面扭曲的认知、使用未经核实的来源信息、学术抄袭现象增多，以及学生愈发倾向于直接使用已有的现成结论，而非通过学习培养批判性科学思维能力。这种对电子资源使用偏好的转变，也要求线上出版环节进一步强化责任意识，同时推动大学教育中的教与学方法及资源体系更好地适配这一现状。本研究旨在探究学生在在线文献调研与信息获取方面的当前趋势，以期提升文献与信息素养教育的质量、便利科研领域相关信息的获取，并优化教与学过程。
