Is that not what post-Piaget education is supposed to be?

It’s very interesting to see examples of ACRL Information Literacy Standards that pose significant problems for those students still a lower levels of cognitive development. Making this connection — between the standards we adopt as a profession and the cognitive skills of the students to which we apply these standards — is vital in developing effective modes of teaching information literacy. Thank you so much for this article.
