A aprendizagem visando a competência em informação na sociedade em tempos de infoesfera

Abstract

Society historically incorporates the advances of society itself and thus reconfigures itself to benefit from this new spectrum. The information and knowledge society is the new social reconfiguration present in the 21st century. In this new society, it is not enough just to be literate, to learn how to read, to study in books for the exams, to know arithmetic and to be present at school. The current information society uses new learning resources that join or replace the previous ones, it does not discard the new technologies as a learning resource, and it demands of the citizen a new competence: information literacy. A citizen who is 'literate' in information and in the resources that allow access to and use of available information and knowledge, including new technologies, especially information and communication technologies. That is why the relationship between apprentice and learning is being reconfigured, and now it needs to develop the citizens to become information literate. And for them to be and remain information literate, it is not enough learning and understanding: a lifelong learning is necessary.
