Competência em Informação no Ensino de Biblioteconomia: por uma aprendizagem significativa e criativa

Abstract

Given the changes that occurred in different areas of society, it is known that to meet the demands related to the access and use of information, it is necessary to train the most creative, innovative and competent professionals of information. The university is a propitious place to the development of these professionals. The reflection established in this research occurs around the following issues: the theoretical framework of learning by competence, meaningful learning and creativity can contribute to the development of a pedagogical model that promotes information literacy in the teaching-learning in higher education, specifically in librarianship course? To enter on the theme proposed by this research, there are three assumptions that lead to cogitate about: the interrelation of the concepts of learning ability, meaningful learning and creativity can provide the support to develop a pedagogical conceptual model that promotes competence in information at the process of teaching-learning in the librarianship courses in the nacional context. Such modeling allows better exploration and understanding of standards and indicators involved in the development of information literacy and can be considered as a subsidy to the preparation and implementation of discipline and/or cross content, aiming to improve the theoretical and experimental approaches in information literacy at the Brazilian context. Thus, it was established as a general purpose - to establish the interrelationship between the concepts of learning ability, meaningful learning and creativity in order to provide subsidies for the development of information literacy as a discipline and/or cross-content of librarianship courses. And specific purposes - a) to analyze the key concepts of learning theories for competence, meaningful learning and creativity that can be applied to information literacy; b) to describe the interrelationships of learning ability theories, meaningful learning and creativity with the standards and indicators of information literacy; c) to demonstrate competence discourse in information at the official documents produced by the Ministry of Education - (MEC), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Brazilian Association of Librarians, Information Scientist and Institutions - (FEBAB); d) to delineate a pedagogical model for the development of information literacy and enabling their integration as a discipline and/or as a cross-content disciplines established in librarianship courses. I was sought an alignment between the theoretical framework of – meaningful learning - by Philippe Perrenoud and AntoniZabala - learning by competence - and other theorists of cognitive psychology, that are directly related to theoretical models of creativity, namely: by Amabile - componential model of creativity, by Csikszentmihalyi - systemic model of creativity and by Sternberg - investment in creativity. These references provided contributions to the interrelationships made to the theoretical background of information literacy for development in higher education. The research is inside the qualitative field and social representations, having proposed to analyze documents of representative institutions in the area of Information Science and Education. It was employed as a methodological tool, a list of documents with three themes to guide the data collection and ir was used the technique of the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) to analyze the documents. As a result of this analysis, it was showed that the essence of the philosophy of information literacy in the documents issued by the Ministry of Education (MEC), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Brazilian Federation of Library Associations, Scientists Information and Institutions (FEBAB), besides providing the creation of Pedagogical Conceptual Modeling of Development of Competency in Information - (MPDCoInfo). Considering the theoretical and conceptual framework added to the results of the methodological procedures is considered that is it is considered that further reflection is necessary on the process of teaching and learning in a construction of information competence and creativity. Moreover, it was observed that the interactivity between teacher-student learning is relevant in the university environment so there is a chain of innovative pedagogical actions. The MPDCoInfo offers subsidies, especially for teachers of librarianship courses that may use them combining the various types of educacion supports to promote the development of information literacy and the creative potential taking into account cultural factors, the experience of the student and use of devices that allow you to build a personal and contextual interpretation of the object of study. The results also suggest that the promotion of competence allied to meaningful learning, to learning by competence and to creativity involves changing aspects in philosophy in order to internalize the policies and guidelines proposed to the curriculum of undergraduate courses in universities, making a cut especially for librarianship courses and its professional formation, promoting the interrelationships necessary and desirable in contemporary interdisciplinarity.
