Biblioteca escolar e Fake News: uma proposta de construção de material educativo com enfoque na competência crítica

Abstract

Discusses the importance of fighting fake news and how the School Library (SL) can help develop critical skills on teenage students. It talks about social media and the impacts of its development on the so-called “Information Society” paradigm and how this process triggered the false news phenomenon, especially in relation to modern social networks. It also deals with SL as a space that can contribute to the school in the teaching-learning process, especially regarding the responsibility of information. Thus, a descriptive qualitative research was carried out through a bibliographic method to analyze how the library could help teenage students in developing criticality to combat fake news. For this, SL was analyzed from a perspective of its international guidelines and objectives through the IFLA / UNESCO Manifesto. The final considerations were that SL can contribute to the fight against false news through actions and initiatives integrated with the pedagogical school team, based on the objectives of the IFLA / UNESCO Manifesto, taking advantage of the proximity between the library and teenage students, leveraging existing projects and adapting them to the focus of social media and therefore false news, including participating in the construction of educational material aimed at SL in the fight against fake news.
