Not that we even HAVE a research methods course in our department, but if we did, and if I were asked to teach it, this article would probably be useful:
"Scaffolding and reflection in course-integrated library instruction" by Bordonaro, Karen; Richardson, Gillian in Journal of Academic Librarianship; 30 (5) Sep 2004, pp.391-401.
The idea is to require students to keep a research journal, which is a sort of bloggy (thus chronological) annotated bibliography. I required annotated bibliographies last fall and got lists of weblinks from the more conscientious students (NOT annotated) and NOTHING from the others. It was worth only 10% of the paper, as I recall.
I don't do a lot with research methods, and I probably should, even in the intro courses.
