They had given teenagers search tasks and collected over 1000 "search stories" which produced numerous findings. Firstly, many did minimal searches taking little time, also there was not an easy correlation towards complexity of search strategy and good results. They then looked at whether had different styles at different times: about 30% always had a minimal style. Additionally checking something did not always result in better understanding than no checking (they might just find the same wrong information in different places). The search behaviours were different for different tasks. They also found that people who said they have high digital skills tended to be (or get) worse the more at searching (being over confident).
they have developed the ROSE instruments Reflective Online Search Education. They developed a platform with teachers, and experimented with 30 classes. The system collects data on the students' searches which can be used for reflection etc. by teachers and learners. There was a brief demonstration of the system showing the detailed information you could get on each search. It includes observations and hints. The teacher can produce a visualisation for the whole class. Some teacher feedback included need for tutorial and clarification of the non-judgmental aim of the feedback, options for filtering the teacher's class map. The researchers also did user experience testing with 237 students. The students did not find it that much fun, but fairly easy to use (and other positive things). Teachers provided class examples and emphasised that use of AI needed to be addressed. The ROSE website(logo above) is https://rose.education/
