A sociedade da informação no Brasil: um ensaio sobre os desafios do Estado

Aborda os desafios do Estado na consolidação de uma sociedade da informação no Brasil. Esses desafios são representados pelo analfabetismo, pela necessidade de capacitação dos recursos humanos da burocracia do Estado e pela dificuldade do cidadão comum ao acesso às tecnologias de informação. Entende que a sociedade da informação é algo ambivalente para o Estado brasileiro. Ela representa os desafios e as oportunidades para o desenvolvimento em uma ordem informacional, caracterizada pela velocidade das mudanças no contexto da sociedade contemporânea. Portanto, o Estado precisa elaborar e aplicar políticas públicas comprometidas com a real superação desses desafios, para a construção de uma sociedade da informação mais eqüitativa no Brasil.

Formação, inovação e novas tecnologias: lugar dos negros e dos empobrecidos

Os processos de formação dos grupos humanos estão sendo transformados pelas novas tecnologias de informação inovando procedimentos, técnicas e meios. As gerações atuais têm contatos com máquinas, computadores, senhas e códigos de acessos desconhecidos pelos mais velhos e àqueles distantes social e economicamente ainda destas tecnologias, meios, códigos e inovações. Negros e empobrecidos são os que mais se distanciam da geografia deste veículo e meio de aprender, de saber, de trocar, de dialogar e de obter poder. A escrita, a energia e a tecnologia computacional interligadas processam um efeito colateral avassalador associados à acumulação de riquezas e bens nas mãos de poucos e juntos promovem o mais árduo processo discriminador e de exclusão social no planeta, atingindo, sobretudo, as populações tradicionalmente mais vulneráveis pelo racismo e pelo machismo, ou seja, negros e mulheres, sendo eles os mais empobrecidos no planeta.

Projeto colaborativo em ambientes digitais de atividades de aprendizagem e avaliação para aquisição de competências em informação e documentação

The search for international impact and the need to create formal or informal networks of academic cooperation are some of the most common features of the current training offered by many universities. Aware of this difficulty and the desirability of creating synergies to enrich teaching and academic collaboration networks between universities, an experience is presented, in the context of the teaching of Information and Documentation, of inter-university collaboration for the joint design of learning activities and skills assessment, developed by teachers in the public universities of Zaragoza and Salamanca (Spain) and the São Paulo Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (São Paulo, Brazil). The experience is developed using models that facilitate the structuring of learning activities aimed at the acquisition of common skills. Each activity that is proposed and developed is recorded in a spreadsheet which collects the information arranged in various fields such as: description, skills, objectives, expected learning outcomes, tools, required resources and materials, evaluation criteria, amongst others, so that the student can see what he is asked to do, how to do it and how useful it will be. This way of designing skills-based learning activities is possible, in geographically diverse academic settings through the use of Information Technology and Communication, enabling both remote cooperation between teachers and also materials offered on the platforms of each of the universities.

A mediação da informação nos arquivos permanentes: serviços de referência arquivística no ambiente digital

Information Science has for its object of study the general properties of information and analysis of their construction, communication and use processes. Organic information, one of the information types, is the one recorded in the archives, which can be split into two distinct groups based on users: current and permanent, used by administrators, historians/citizens, respectively. After defining the information behavior of each group, the articles directs the discussion to the mediation of information in the permanent archives. The interaction between user and information professionals through references services aiming the user needs is presented. In addition, the standards of archival description and the research instruments as tools to reference service are discussed. Moreover, it argues the importance of information technologies and the new possibilities for the promotion of organic information in permanent archives, especially concerning the information architecture of websites and the conversion of the DTD standards of archival descriptions.

Contribuições de elementos do construtivismo e da mediação da informação para a inclusão digital de idosos

The life expectancy increase has been augmenting studies on human aging. Among these studies are those that address the interaction between the elderly and the information and communication technologies, which may facilitate the execution of daily activities by elderly people. Therefore, the goal of this article was to investigate the application of constructivist elements in computer courses offered to Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade – UNATI – UNESP – Campus of Marília, contributing to the digital inclusion of this community. The constructivist elements focused on the role of the teacher as a mediator in the teaching-learning process. It was found that most of these elements are already being applied in this universe, but some changes need to be undertaken in order to expand the opportunities for education and to allow students to have more autonomy for information seeking and use in the web environment.

Encontrabilidade da Informação: atributos e recomendações para ambientes informacionais digitais

At first, this paper presents the epistemological and theoretical bases that support the inclusion of an operational concept for the findability of information in the field of Information Science. In a second moment, it defines the key attributes and recommendations for the findability of information, with a view to their understanding in a practical perspective, from the epistemological and theoretical support presented. From a theoretical, exploratory, bibliographic and documentary study, the results reveal that epistemologically the findability of information fits in Information Science in post-custodial paradigm that focuses on access to information and is significantly influenced by Information and Communication Technologies. The theoretical conclusions of this concept focus on the evolution of the Web and from the perspective of the dimensions of language, where there is as pragmatic trend, as technological development that combines the actions taken by informational and institutional individuals in digital information environments. Given that these actions turn enable or not the findability of information, these individuals can be understood as mediators. Therefore, the concept of infocommunicational mediation is the basis for the findability of information. For its application in digital information environments, were defined attributes and guidelines which should be considered in the context of Information Architecture. The attributes characterizing the concept and guidelines point at practical actions for the design and for evaluation of the findability of information. Epistemological, theoretical and practical concepts addressed underpin the called operative concept in information science and should be further explored in this scientific field.

Mídias de informação e comunicação e Ciência da Informação

Media, as contemporary information and communication phenomena, are rarely studied in the field of Information Science field (IS). This article aims to present a reflection on the Media role as information environments that provoke changes in the ecosystem of message creation, information and socially shared knowledge. It points out that the contextualization of informational situations in the media environments facilitates access to information and to knowledge creation, strategically aimed to more efficient mediation possibilities - purpose to be reached by the society and by an entrepreneurial Information Science. IS counts on proper strategies and methodologies for the creation of transversal meta fields of new knowledge for the solution of problems caused by the intersections and social frictions among science, technologies and knowledge, which means an effective contribution of IS to the enhance utilization of media potential.
