- Building stronger academic communities through critical thinking: Linking ACRL framework to AIPublication . Lopes, Carlos; Antunes, Maria Da Luz; Sanches, TatianaThe Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (ACRL) is a reference document that has served as a reflective guide for the pedagogical practices carried out by academic librarians. The present study proposes looking at each of the six conceptual frames recommended by this guiding document, observing the pedagogical opportunities brought by artificial intelligence (AI), namely chatGPT, for their teaching. Based on a literature review on the characteristics and functionalities of chatGPT, as well as its opportunities and risks presented in an international context, it is proposed to apply it in personalized academic tasks, suggesting the adoption of pedagogical experiences. This should be combined with the stimulation of critical thinking, reflecting on the opportunity to teach information skills in higher education libraries to promote knowledge and practical application of this communication tool. Thus, for each conceptual frame, examples and situated learning strategies are listed, which can contribute to acquiring essential instruments and structures of the mechanisms necessary for information skills. Regarding specifically understanding the usefulness and suitability of AI, it is important to work on the ability to extract relevant information from artificially written texts, knowing how to ask the right questions, so that it becomes a powerful instrument for obtaining and processing information, transversal learning and social insertion and is not reduced to mere superficial school learning, but reveals its potential in contexts of search, analysis and production of academic information. The main objective of this work is to make a creative and innovative contribution to the practical and situated application of the ACRL Framework in the context of generative AI, exploring the features of chatGPT to explain the concepts, dispositions, and practices recommended for teaching Information Literacy.
- Critical thinking in information literacy pedagogical strategies: New dynamics for higher education throughout librarians’ visionPublication . Sanches, Tatiana; Lopes, Carlos; Antunes, Maria Da LuzThis work explores the articulation of Information Literacy and CriticalThinking, throughout a preliminary study on the pedagogical strategies usedby academic librarians in lecturing information literacy courses. A theoreticalreflection is presented about students’ skills in Information Literacy, enhancedby Critical Thinking, to acquire the ability to move autonomously in printedand digital information environments, based on their reflective thinking, totransform information into new knowledge. The study aims to compareinformation literacy pedagogical practices in different subject areas. As such,psychology, education, and health sciences were the ecosystems in which thestrategies were explored and applied to analyze common approaches, andultimately detect and share good practices for pedagogical improvements. Thepresent work results from a qualitative study, based on the interviewsregarding the vision of three academic librarians, framed by seven majorparameters: metacognition, reflection, analysis, evaluation, inference, anduse, as well as dispositions, applied to information management. The objectivewas to evaluate what kind of strategies were adopted by each librarian and ifthe pedagogical practices are effective in fulfilling the learning objectives.Overall, all three librarians agreed that libraries have an important role inpromoting critical thinking in higher education students.
