Diekema Utah State University  \nHeather Leary  \nUniversity of Colorado Boulder  \nSheri Haderlie  \nUtah State University  \nWendy Holliday  \nNorthern Arizona University  \nThe purpose of this research was to determine how information synthesis skills can be taught effectively, and to discover how the level of synthesis in student writing can be effectively measured. The intervention was an information synthesis lesson that broke down the synthesis process into sequenced tasks. Researchers created a rubric which they used to assess students’ levels of information synthesis demonstrated in their final research essays. A form of counting analysis was also created to see if other methods could help in measuring synthesis.  \nFindings from the rubric analysis revealed that students appear to benefit from the synthesis lesson. The level of synthesis, however, remains low overall. In addition, the study showed that the different measures of synthesis established were able to identify different levels of information integration. Discovering effective ways to measure and teach synthesis continues to be essential in helping students become information literate.  \nLundstrom et al, Teaching & Learning Info Synthesis Communications in Information Literacy 9(1), 2015  \nINTRODUCTION  \nPerhaps the most essential, and certainly one of the most complex research skills, is the ability to synthesize information. One researcher, J.D. Johnson (2009) writes: “… the ability for people to assimilate information they find into coherent personal strategies is perhaps the critical modern survival skill” (p. 601) . Information synthesis is the process of analyzing and evaluating information from various sources, making connections between the information found, and combining the recently acquired information with prior knowledge to create something new. Information synthesis strategies are essential skills. Without them, we cannot derive new knowledge from these large amounts of data (Larsen, Wactlar & Friedlander, 2003; National Science Board, 2005) . Effective information synthesis is also vital in developing effective writing and communication skills to share new knowledge. Coherent information synthesis is, therefore, required to productively participate in and contribute to our information-rich society. Yet college students have difficulty analyzing and synthesizing different pieces of information (Howard, Serviss, & Rodrigue, 2010) .  \nThe research questions explored in this study ask whether information synthesis skills can be taught effectively by scaffolding this complex cognitive task, and how the level of synthesis in student writing can be effectively measured. The study described here investigates an information synthesis lesson given to students in a university English writing class. The lesson broke down the synthesis process into several stages requiring students to go  \nthrough information synthesis in discrete steps by means of individual reading and group discussion. At the end of the lesson students were asked to write a synthesized paragraph. The authors also collected final research papers in the class. Both writing products were analyzed for evidence of synthesis to evaluate the impact of the synthesis lesson as well as to establish different metrics for measuring synthesis.  \nFindings from the study revealed that students appear to benefit from the synthesis lesson. There were more instances of information synthesis in the final papers of students who received the lesson. The level of synthesis however, remained low overall. In addition, studies measuring synthesis identified different levels of information integration. The synthesis rubric used in this study reaffirms that synthesis, and the assessment of it, includes numerous skills and competencies.
