Nos últimos anos, assiste-se ao crescente interesse pelos estudos voltados à competência informacional, o qual se reflete, principalmente, no número de publicações sobre o assunto e extrapola os domínios da biblioteconomia e da ciência da informação. O propósito deste artigo é, portanto, oferecer um panorama internacional, histórico e conceitual das pesquisas sobre a competência informacional, procurando mostrar alguns dos diversos desdobramentos que a reflexão sobre o tema tem apresentado nos últimos anos em países onde seu processo de legitimação já se encontra consolidado, de modo a iluminar possíveis campos de pesquisa e de ação para o profissional bibliotecário. Esta pesquisa aponta que, se os estudos iniciais acerca do tema se dedicavam a conceituá-lo, a discutir sua pertinência e a determinar habilidades e conhecimentos que lhe são inerentes, na última década pode-se perceber a proliferação de pesquisas direcionadas a descrever iniciativas ou a propor modelos em áreas que ultrapassam o campo usual, tais como ciências médicas, direito, política e informática, dentre outros. Os primeiros resultados encontrados nesta etapa da pesquisa encaminham para uma perspectiva educacional e filosófica da competência informacional...

Esta tese se propõe a discutir a problemática dos deficientes visuais, que tenham ingressado ou que sejam egressos do ensino superior paulista, do ponto de vista informacional, de forma a identificar como esses estudantes percebem a necessidade, adquirem, compreendem e utilizam a informação. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica discutindo os aspectos históricos e conceituais da Information Literacy, bem como suas ações voltadas para estudantes do ensino superior. Contextualizou-se o ambiente informacional do deficiente visual brasileiro, focalizando o ensino superior, bem como, ponderou-se sobre que cenário se apresenta a esses cidadãos do ponto de vista intelectual, tecnológico, de acesso aos recursos físicos, e de conteúdo. Nesse contexto, buscou-se mapear o conjunto de habilidades e competências informacionais a serem desenvolvidas pelos deficientes visuais, no processo de construção de trabalhos acadêmicos, compreendidas a partir do modelo Information Literacy desenvolvido por Carol Kuhlthau denominado Information Search Process ISP, no desenvolvimento dos instrumentos de coleta, no processo de coleta propriamente dito e na análise dos dados coletados. Por trata-se de um estudo exploratório, trabalhou-se numa abordagem qualitativa...

Surgida na literatura em 1974, a information literacy liga-se à necessidade de se exercer o domínio sobre o sempre crescente universo informacional. Incorporando habilidades, conhecimentos e valores relacionados à busca, acesso, avaliação, organização e difusão da informação e do conhecimento. A information literacy é a própria essência da competência em informação. O objetivo deste trabalho é definir a information literacy a partir do entendimento do conceito, objetivos e práticas relacionadas, com ênfase no papel educacional das bibliotecas e do bibliotecário. Inicialmente, apresenta-se a evolução do conceito segundo um referencial histórico. Examina-se a information literacy enquanto processo de interiorização de conhecimentos, habilidades e valores ligados à informação e ao aprendizado. Define-se a expressão, suas características e objetivos. Discutem-se diferentes concepções de information literacy, segundo três referenciais: informação, conhecimento e aprendizado. Em seguida, são elencados pontos relevantes de atuação de bibliotecas e bibliotecários na implementação de uma educação voltada para a information literacy. Explorando a information literacy education, evidencia-se a necessidade de construção de um novo paradigma educacional ante a sociedade atual que incorpore a competência em informação.

Recent years have witnessed the increasing interest in studies focused on information literacy, which is reflected mainly in the number of publications on the subject and goes beyond the fields of Librarianship and Information Science. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to offer an outlook, historical and conceptual, of international researches on information literacy, trying to show some of the different ramifications which the discussion on the subject has exhibited in past few years in countries where its process of legitimation is already well established, in order to illuminate possible areas of research and action for the librarian professional. This research indicates that if the initial studies on this topic tended to be devoted to conceptualize it, discussing its relevance and determine the skills and knowledge related to information literacy, in the last decade can be noticed a proliferation of researches aimed at describing initiatives or proposing models in areas beyond the usual field such as Medical Sciences, Law, Politics or Computers, among others. The first results of this research refer to a philosophical and educational perspective of information literacy, which suggests the need for deeper understanding and characterization of information literacy in four dimensions: technical...

The article discusses the complexities of information literacy. It is stated that to be information literate, one must know when information is needed, where to find it, how it works, and how to use it. It also mentions several websites that are commonly used as tools for learning including Google, YouTube, and Facebook. Several tables are also presented including one about facets of information literacy, technology as a learning tool, and literacy skills.; ID: 82; M3: Article

peer-reviewed; The SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy model was revised in 2011 to reflect the interpretation of information literacy in today’s environment. Subsequently, a number of lenses have been developed to adapt the core model to different contexts and user groups. This study develops a lens that aims to reflect the unique information landscape and needs of evidence based practice (EBP) in healthcare. Healthcare professionals across medicine, nursing and allied health disciplines were interviewed to explore their understanding and awareness of the clinical information seeking process and behaviours. This information was then used to construct an EBP lens using familiar healthcare terminology and concepts. Health Science librarians can use this lens as a framework to inform the design and structure of information literacy programmes for clinical staff. Further insight may also be gained by measuring the impact and effectiveness of the lens on information literacy levels and practice at a local level.

Im bibliothekarische Bereich ist bereits ein umfangreicher Kanon an Vermittlungsmethoden und -inhalten zur Informationskompetenz entstanden - zumindest, was die Vermittlung durch Kurse und Schulungen anbelangt. Weniger systematisch und meist nur auf begrenzte Projekte bezogen ist die Vermittlung über Online-Medien, weswegen hier ein Überblick über mögliche Online-Anleitungen zur Informationskompetenz gegeben wird. Behandelt werden Zielgruppen, deren Bedürfnisse, der institutionelle Rahmen, mögliche Inhalte, Methoden der Vermittlung von Inhalten, Kommunikationsstrategien und Evaluation. Im Fazit wird eine selbstkritische Einschätzung der Reichweite gezogen, gleichwohl aber die Möglichkeiten als positiv und machbar angesehen, da der Aufwand relativ gering einzuschätzen ist.; In the context of libraries there are a vast "canon" of methods and contents in the field of information literacy, especially concerning the knowledge transfer through introductions and workshops. Concerning the online activities, the e-learning, there is no systematic way of teaching and the efforts are often restricted to isolated projects. This manual tends to give an overview aboutz possible online tutorials for information literacy, relating to target groups...

As a growing number of librarians and educators argue for a more critical praxis for information literacy instruction (ILI), one which encourages students to critically evaluate all information and to consider it in relation to social, political, and rhetorical contexts, ILI must go beyond making general distinctions between scholarly and non-scholarly sources which often elide the complexities of knowledge production. Instead, a strong critical and socially-conscious ILI praxis emphasizes the inherently biased nature of all information, and invites students to explore information as reflective of the specific rhetorical and sociopolitical situations in which it is created, shared, and responded to. While many librarians and educators agree in principle with the idea of a critical praxis for ILI, knowing how to implement such an approach remains a difficult question. Drawing on Elmborg???s conception of academic information literacy, I argue in this chapter that the digital humanities (DH) ??? understood perhaps most simply as the intersection between humanities scholarship and digital technologies ??? offers rich possibilities for fostering critical information literacy more broadly and academic information literacy more specifically through a critical pedagogical praxis. Because much of DH engages in alternative scholarly practices (such as the use of digital media...

Objetivo: Es urgente realizar programas dirigidos a las enfermeras de pregrado para desarrollar destrezas informáticas y sobre alfabetización de la información a largo plazo. Por ello se propuso mejorar las destrezas en alfabetización en información de los/as estudiantes de Enfermería y evaluar el proceso de aprendizaje. Metodología: Se ha desarrollado un proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje para la alfabetización informacional de 80 estudiantes, que debían presentar para la evaluación un informe del proceso de aprendizaje. Se ha utilizado un diseño cuasiexperimental con un grupo para la evaluación de conocimientos adquiridos, al que se le aplicó un pretest y un postest. Resultados: El 82.5% de los/as estudiantes ha superado el informe. Casi todos los participantes se han mostrado satisfechos/as con el proceso de aprendizaje. En la autovaloración de los conocimientos adquiridos, las medias obtenidas fueron significativamente mayores en el postest, siendo el tamaño de efecto muy grande. Conclusiones: Existen evidencias de que el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje para mejorar la alfabetización en información ha sido efectivo. La principal contribución ha sido incorporar la alfabetización de la información en el currículum de los/as estudiantes.; ABSTRACT Objective: The structured development on informatics and long term information literacy skills are urgently required for undergraduate nurses. Therefore...

Recognizing the importance of developing the information and media literacy in contemporary society, this article discusses the scenario of hybrid languages born on cyberspace, hypertext and the new types of readers who interact with information, now disseminated by digital media. As theoretical references authors such as Lucia Santaella, we develop arguments that present the headquarters of language and thought within a semiotic support. Matrices help to understand the phenomenon of hybrid language in hypertext. Therefore, we emphasize that the development of skills associated with the new reading environments propitiated by the virtual environment requires the understanding of language, which is one of the concepts used within the media and information literacy (MIL) proposal of Unesco, which combines the two concepts and skills of information and media literacy. It is hoped that this article motivate scholars and practitioners of education and information to take responsibility to educate for information environments that arise with new media and technologies, emphasizing the issue of reading and language.; Ao reconhecer a importância de desenvolver a competência informacional e midiática na sociedade contemporânea, o presente artigo discute o cenário de linguagens híbridas que nasce diante o ciberespaço...

By the year 2020, those now commencing school will have emerged into a variety of contexts. Despite their years of education, these young people may lack the skills of information literacy that an information age demands. One reason for this could be a lack of information literacy vision on the part of their educators. Th e term Information Literacy was coined in the1970s and has, since then, developed a substantial academic literature. Despite the acknowledged need for information literacy, to date there has been little in the way of a comprehensive vision of information literacy development. Ideally, such a vision would accommodate both the vertical and lateral transitions students make as they proceed on their educational journey. One starting point is to perceive learning as a lifelong endeavour, the information literacy needed for that endeavour being the responsibility of all the participants in the learning process. A model which presents information literacy as a continuum off ers a framework which allows the whole information literacy journey to be conceptualised by the participants. Th e model presented here fulfi ls the challenge put by those developing information literacy standards to convert those standards into a useable continuum. It attempts to chart information literacy development form novice reader-writer to independent researcher. As well as having practical...

a mixed-method investigation of undergraduate and graduate international students' proficiencies in both information literacy and academic writing to see if a relationship exists between them

This study aimed to correlate intellectual skills that compose the Multiple Intelligences Theory with Information Literacy model s informational competencies, using the Virtual Health Library of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (VHL DIP) by lay users, defined in this study as users/learners. The study followed a descriptive-qualitative approach using the Systematic Review of the Literature as a data collection method, introspective technique based on "Thinking Aloud" on Single Verbal Protocol mode and also a semi-structured interview. We identified one hundred ninety-five characteristics, skills and/or specific core competencies of the eight Multiple Intelligences established and potential correlations with the Information Literacy model, as evidenced by the gaps between both competencies. It might be inferred that the noticed correlation between skills and/or cognitive skills that set and characterize the Multiple Intelligences and Information Literacy is evident, in general on action verbs, which also characterize the core concept of each intelligence or competence. Thus, it may be argued that these action verbs are equally important to define processes and contents of information training programs for users/learners, leading to both skills intellectual and informational and potentially contributing to learning along the whole life. Some applications already existing in literature or implemented in practice were found...

Secker & Coonan?s 2011 research on A New Curriculum for Information Literacy (ANCIL) positions information literacy as a vital, holistic and institution-wide element in academic teaching and learning. Rather than taking a competency-based approach in which abilities and performance levels are delineated prescriptively, ANCIL is founded on a perception of information literacy as a continuum of skills, competences, behaviours and values around information, centred in an individual learner engaged in a specific task or moving towards a particular goal. ANCIL offers both micro- and macro-level approaches to reviewing the information literacy support offered in an institution. With its emphasis on active, reflective and transferable elements in learning, ANCIL lends itself well to practical course design and lesson planning. By reviewing the structure and content of individual sessions through the ANCIL lens, it is possible to enhance information literacy teaching significantly even where provision is restricted to one-shot or front-loaded training sessions. In addition, ANCIL?s holistic mapping of information literacy, together with the interprofessional and collaborative approach this entails, allows departments or whole institutions to audit where...

Hofstetter, Fred T.; Information literacy is an essential skill set individuals need to locate, retrieve, evaluate, and effectively use information in an effort to assemble and create new knowledge. Information literacy is recognized by accreditation agencies, professional organizations, and academic institutions as vital to higher education. Information literacy programs, led primarily by librarians, have developed at institutes of higher education to instruct students on becoming information literate. Community colleges have increased their efforts to enhance information literacy instruction for students with the goal of creating lifelong learners who will use their skills to solve problems and make informed decisions. In the end, information literacy is about developing and producing critically thinking individuals. Unlike similar community colleges in surrounding counties and states, Cecil College continues to lack an information literacy program to instruct its rapidly growing student population in the knowledge and skills needed to become information literate. This Executive Position Paper investigates the perceptions teaching faculty have regarding information literacy, as well as which skills are being taught in the classroom by teaching faculty and which are being taught by librarians. A review of scholarly literature examines the information-seeking behavior of college students at community colleges and the collaborative efforts between teaching faculty and librarians...

This article presents the concept of regime of information applied to information literacy development in higher education. Through participatory research with Agronomy faculty at Federal University of Ceará, Campus Cariri, it seeks to identify elements that justify the design of local regime of information, based on perception and evidence-based data about information literacy skills, according to the The SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy: Core Model For Higher Education, "the Society Of College And University National Libraries (2011). Thus, it describes the scientific information management, identifying tacit and tangible variables that influence the informed actions of the participant teachers. It also highlights the faculty, and teachers, as the main group of academic community who have a key role in the multiplication of the ideas of the international movement for information literacy. It is concluded that mapping local regime of information allowed this research to understand the ways (and limitations) in which teachers got skills to act in dynamic and current scientific information flow.; http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1518-2924.2013v18n37p43 Aplica a noção de regime de informação para o mapeamento das dimensões envolvidas no desenvolvimento de competências em informação na Educação Superior. Mediante pesquisa participante com docentes do curso de Agronomia...

[Resumo] O delineamento da sociedade da informação requer indivíduos competentes no uso da informação. Algumas características podem ser consideradas essenciais para transitar nessa nova sociedade. O letramento aparece como um conceito que traça as habilidades necessárias para o uso adequado das informações produzidas. A competência no uso da informação deve ser iniciada na educação básica. Este artigo tem por objetivo fazer uma análise do letramento na educação básica no Brasil, por meio dos resultados obtidos no Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Básica (SAEB) nos anos de 2001 e 2003, sob a óptica do letramento. Os resultados obtidos permitem-nos inferir que apesar de o SAEB demonstrar ter uma preocupação com a dimensão social do letramento, a descrição dos níveis de proficiência explicita que uma maior ênfase é dada às habilidades individuais de leitura. Foi possível ainda, constatar que a maioria dos estudantes não desenvolveu, ao final do ensino fundamental e médio, competências e habilidades para o efetivo uso do letramento na Sociedade da Informação. É preciso que ações emergenciais sejam tomadas a fim de amenizar os impactos decorrentes de indivíduos sem capacidade de utilizarem-se do letramento como ferramenta estratégica para sobreviver na sociedade da informação. [Abstract] The Information Society required individuals competent about information use. Some characteristics can be considered essential to transit in this new society. The information literacy appears as concept that focuses the skills and abilities necessary for using information. The information competence should be begun in the basic education. This article objective analyze information literacy by the results obtained in the National System of Evaluation of the Basic Education (SAEB) in the years 2001 and 2003. The results allow inferring that SAEB have a concern with the social dimension of information literacy; give levels description of explicit proficiency that a larger emphasis is given to the reading individual abilities. It was possible verify that most students didn't develop...
