A competência em informação e sua avaliação sob a ótica da mediação da informação: reflexões e aproximações teóricas

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: The study debates the existing theoretical approach between the themes information literacy and its assessment with the information mediation. Objective: To expose, by means of the analogy among the themes (information literacy and its assessment and the information mediation), the similarities of these processes in order to provide a better understanding to their applicability. Methodology: The research is bibliographic and qualitative in nature. Results: As a result, it was found that information literacy is an act of interference, as well as the information mediation, since both are concerned with the formation of critical and reflective citizens across the informational world. The information literacy assessment is a way to check if the ownership information was internalized by people. Conclusions: The development of information literacy and its assessment from the perspective of information mediation are actions of interference that provide the construction of critical and reflective knowledge in people to the internalisation of pro-active steps to wisely access and use information in contemporary society.
