In consonance to UNESCO Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Cities concept and recognizing the importance of initiatives that ensure that all citizens have access to media and information competencies for sus­ tainable development of MIL communities and informed citizenry, this article presents the successful Imprensa Jovem (Youth Press) Educa­ tional Municipal Programme of the city of São Paulo, Brazil: the most populous city of South America, with 12 million inhabitants, marked by high levels of social inequality. Imprensa Jovem was one of the winners of UNESCO MIL Alliance Awards 2020. In the two decades, more than 25.000 teachers and 60.000 students were trained in MIL by the mu­ nicipal education system of São Paulo. It addresses MIL in Basic For­ mal Education Curriculum by allowing teachers and students to acquire competencies of both (Media and Information) through participatory processes, approaching different media languages; critical reading of media, TICs, and SDGs within school news agencies.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The Basic Education teachers in Brazil face difficulties inherent in working with the geographical categories: Landscape, territory, region and place. These difficulties are related to the training of teachers who do not understand these categories and the lack of appropriate didactic material. The absence of local thematic maps prevents the understanding of the place as a living space and as a correlation of stories in the different scenarios of the city "The study of the place as a proposal for the continuing education of teachers of Basic Education from the School Atlas" is a project that allows teachers and students of the DF to approach these categories. The project is divided into two stages. The first stage was the preparation of the Geographic, Historical and Cultural School Atlas of the Federal District (AEGHC DF), completed in 2018. The second stage will be the training course for Basic Education teachers with exercises that involve the place category as a daily space that allows the construction of identities. The purpose of this article is to investigate the use of the AEGHC DF as an important mediator in the construction of spatial categories such as place and landscape in Geography classes. The Atlas is presented as a teaching methodology and strategy in the development of cartographic skills in the development of spatial reasoning. The AEGHC DF invites students and teachers to know more about maps, visualizing spaces, creating narratives and getting to know the place where they live.</p>

Critical Citizens

Historically speaking, the teaching of English was never a part of Brazilian primary schools programmes. Foreign language teaching as an obligatory school subject appears only in the sixth year of basic education, and its goal is more connected to the development of critical citizens, rather than to the promotion of proficient speakers of the language. Recently, however, a number of municipal public educational systems, often in partnership with private language institutes, have introduced ELT from the very first year of primary school. This is the case, for example, of the project Rio Global Child 2016, created by the City of Rio de Janeiro in partnership with Cultura Inglesa, a well-known private English institute in Brazil. What I intend to do in this paper, thus, is: firstly, to present an historical overview of ELT in Brazilian public schools, discussing its educational relevance and functions, the challenges faced by teachers and students, and both the beliefs and debates concerning the issue (cf. Almeida, 2012; Assis-Peterson, 2003; Moita Lopes, 1996; Tílio, 2012) – including also a first account of the Brazilian cities involved in the implementation of ELT in primary schools; and, then, to discuss critically Rio de Janeiro’s project for the teaching of English in primary schools. Such a discussion is necessary not only because it may help to understand better the risks of adopting a single method (and its materials) for teaching in contexts that can be extremely different from one another, but also because other projects and experiences may benefit from an honest account of the problems faced by the association of private and public spheres and interests exemplified by Rio’s project.

Resumo: Neste texto, relataremos experiência vivenciada no desenvolvimento de um projeto inserido no PICMEL da FAPERGS. O projeto foi desenvolvido de outubro de 2014 a novembro de 2015, em uma escola na cidade de Guarani das Missões/RS, em parceria com a Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS), Campus Cerro Largo/RS, intitulado: “A pesquisa científico-escolar na Educação Básica e reconhecimento da área de Ciências Biológicas”. Serão descritas a constituição do grupo, os objetivos almejados, as ações abrangidas no programa, bem como discutidas algumas contribuições do programa à formação dos alunos e professores, depreendidas a partir da investigação de diários de bordo de integrantes do grupo. Defendemos que o diário de bordo pode ter contribuído, por meio da reflexão, no processo de internalização de conceitos e formas de pesquisar, à medida que identificamos indícios da reconstrução de concepções de pesquisa com base na perspectiva do Educar pela Pesquisa: valorização do protagonismo do aluno; na reconstrução dos conhecimentos; com o professor como orientador da pesquisa; no resgate da autonomia do aluno; para o levantamento das curiosidades formuladas pelos alunos, a leitura e a escrita. Desse modo, identificamos indícios de pressupostos que norteiam o Educar pela Pesquisa, o que aponta para a possibilidade de utilizá-lo para a transformação das concepções de professores em formação continuada, com a superação de visões tradicionais, e nos permite reafirmar também a relevância de grupos de formação continuada, enquanto espaços que auxiliam na transformação de concepções de docência e quiçá de práticas pedagógicas. Palavras-chaves: Educar pela Pesquisa. Diário de bordo. Reflexão.

The project was developed from October 2014 to November 2015 in a school from the city of Guarani das Missões/RS, in cooperation with Federal University of Fronteira Sul (UFFS), from Cerro Largo/RS, named: “The scientific-school research in Basic Education and the recognition in the area of Biologic Science”. The participants of the group, the objectives and the actions from the program are reported, as well as the discussion on some contributions of the program, the teachers and students training from the investigation of the logbook from the group.  We sustain that the logbook is an instrument that can contribute through reflection in the process of internalization of concepts and ways of research, as we identify clues of the research concepts reconstruction based on Educate through Research: promotion of the students’ prominence; importance of knowledge reconstruction; teachers as research advisors; students’ empowerment recover; importance of the curiosities formulated by students, reading and writing. In this way, we identify evidences of assumptions that orientate the Educate through Research which indicate to the possibility of the transformation of  the concepts of teachers in continuing education, with the overcoming of traditional views, and allows us to confirm also the importance of continuing education groups  as  spaces that help in the changing of concepts of teaching and pedagogical practices. Keywords: Educate Through Research.

BACKGROUND The rapidly evolving digital environment of the social media era increases the reach of both quality health information and misinformation. Platforms such as YouTube enable easy sharing of attractive, if not always evidence-based, videos with large personal networks as well as the general public. While much research has focused on characterizing health misinformation online, it has not sufficiently focused on describing and measuring individuals’ information competencies that build resilience. OBJECTIVE This study 1) assesses individuals’ willingness to share a non-evidence-based YouTube video about strengthening the immune system, 2) describes types of evidence that individuals view as supportive of the claim by the video, and 3) relates information-sharing behavior to several information competencies: information literacy, science literacy, knowledge of the immune system, interpersonal trust, and trust in health authority. METHODS The study employs an online survey methodology with 150 individuals across the United States. Participants were asked to watch a YouTube excerpt from a morning TV show featuring a wellness pharmacy representative promoting an immunity-boosting dietary supplement produced by his company; answer questions about the video and say whether they would share it with a cousin who was frequently sick; and complete instruments pertaining to the information competencies outlined in the objectives. RESULTS Most participants (105 out of 150) said that they would share the video with their cousin. Their confidence in the supplement would be further boosted by a friend’s recommendations, positive reviews on a crowdsourcing website, and statements of uncited effectiveness studies on the producer’s website. While all information literacy competencies analyzed in this study had a statistically significant relationship with the outcome, each was also highly correlated with each other. Information literacy and interpersonal trust independently predicted the largest amount of variance in the intent to share the video (17% and 16%). Interpersonal trust was negatively related to the willingness to share the video. Science literacy explained 7% of the variance. CONCLUSIONS People are vulnerable to online misinformation and are likely to propagate it online. Information literacy and science literacy are associated with lesser vulnerability to misinformation and lesser propensity to spread it. Of the two, information literacy holds the greater promise as an intervention target. Understanding the role of different kinds of trust on information sharing merits further research.

New Interpretation

This article explores a literature review on different proposals to assess media and information literacy (MIL) competencies in citizens seeking to define the fundamental MIL skills and competencies to be considered in national curricula and assessment schemes. The study is based on qualitative content analysis to map and systematize the main MIL frameworks, research reports, and their practical applications/experiences. This qualitative technique allows the combination of categories (dimensions) and correlation of individual indicators (skills and capabilities) to group subcategories (components). The study inquires Unesco’s framework, as well as the authors upon which this theoretical approach was built, together with the European Commission’s views on media education. It gathers their principal propositions on media competence assessment and sets a reflection on information literacy and Educommunication as a contribution strongly developed in the Ibero-American context. A broad analysis of digital competencies related to media and information literacy is also included in the study. A new interpretation is given to the studied concepts to draw a structured systematization of competences on media and information literacy that sets a framework to assess and design MIL programs, actions or curricula. Finally, it proposes a map of skills and competences in MIL that allows the future creation of methodologies and strategies for the visibility, promotion, strengthening or evaluation of MIL.

This study aimed to analyze the knowledge about some zoonosis in a private school in the city of Bom Jesus-PI, Brazil, through the application of questionnaires intended for primary school students, teachers and students´ parents. Zoonosis are transmissible illnesses in natural conditions between the animals and the human beings, and knowledge about them does not always reach the population exposed to constant risks, and it is necessary to plan health education actions in these areas. On the analysis of surveys noted significant numbers in relation to lack of knowledge on the part of interviewed in all groups. In relation to cutaneous larva migrans 37 (46,83%) of the students answered don´t know which factors were associated to the contamination, about to the prevention, 35 (44,30%) didn´t know the measures to be taken. Relating to Leishmaniasis, observed that 43 (54,43%) of the students have already heard about the disease, 37 (46,83%) answered that the dog is the responsible for transmitting and 34 (43,03%) the mosquito. In relation to the prevention, 36 (45,56%) answered combat to the mosquitoes, 35 (44,30%) using repellents, protection screens in windows and use of mosquito nets, as long as 07 (8,86%) didn´t know any prevention measure. In the amount of 79 students that answered the survey, 93,67% affirmed don´t have knowledge about giardiasis and 74,68% answered don´t know about how occurs the transmission about this zoonosis. Therefore, there is a need to carry out works that aim to provide this information to the population, especially the children because they are considered more susceptible as well as agents disseminating this information.

The purpose of this study was to find out medical librarians' perceptions towards the importance of information literacy (IL) skills. A structured questionnaire, consisting of eight IL skills, was administered to the head librarians of all academic medical institutions in Pakistan. The respondents were asked to rate the importance of IL skills for their users on a 5-point Likert scale (1- Least important to 5-Most important). A total of 69 (60.5 %) usable questionnaires were returned out of 114 disseminated to the respondents. The IL skills about “accessing the needed information effectively and efficiently”, “identifying relevant, authoritative and reliable information sources”, “recognizing the need for information”, "verifying the relevance and quality of information sources” and “using information ethically and legally” got mean scores exceeding four from head librarians of both public and private sector medical institutions. However, IL skill "evaluating the information critically” received mean score less than four i.e., 3.94 from public sector medical librarians and IL skills "organizing information collected or generated in a logical way" and "using the selected information effectively to accomplish a specific task" although considered important but got lower mean scores (3.97 each) from private sector medical librarians. Respondents from both public and private sector medical institutions had considered all the eight IL skills important for their library users, meaning that library users must be adequately equipped with information competencies.
