Dimensions of information literacy under the perspective of zarifian

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the work “Objetivo Competência: por uma nova logic” by Phillipe Zarifian (2001), using it as a guiding thread for reflections on the dimensions of information competence. The choice of the work is due to the fact that, even in the context of the administration area, it presents connections with the four dimensions announced by Vitorino and Piantola (2011; 2019) and appreciated in the study by Rios (2006; 2010): technical, aesthetics, ethics and politics. This perspective adopted in the middle of the process of rereading and analyzing the content of the work, even in the context of the 90s, shows itself current to the reflections on the competence in information. For this, historical and conceptual aspects of competence were approached from the conceptions of Zarifian (2001) and highlighted the characteristics of the four dimensions that contemplate the faces of information competence, which, in balance, permeate human development, both in the individual perspective, and in the scope of collectivity and social relations. It is concluded that the work presents approaches to competence in the technical, aesthetic, ethical and political dimensions with an emphasis on the transition from the logic of work to the logic of competence.
