Mastering Information and teaching controversies : an exploratory study

Our contribution aims at presenting an exploratory study of an experimental course focused on teaching controversies for mastering various dimensions of Information literacy. We will begin presenting the theoretical framework of the Actor-Network Theory approach. Then we will introduce our work-in-progress methodology for controversies analysis. Then, two case studies of teaching controversies will be presented aiming at supporting the acquisition of skills in mastering Information. We will conclude with the first results of our exploratory study based on participant observation, and on a qualitative survey on the knowledge acquisition by the students.

Classifications et dispositifs informationnels

Le Web offre actuellement au grand public une coexistence des modes d’acces a l’information les plus diversifies (index, thesaurus, ontologies, listes d’autorite, folksonomies, classifications hierarchiques, classifications a facettes). Apres un rappel sur l’usage des classifications comme outil d’acces et de navigation, nous discuterons des approches privilegiant une organisation thematique des resultats. Nous examinerons ensuite l’apport des cartographies de l’information pour l’exploration et la modelisation des points de vue sur un corpus documentaire.
