Clubes de leitura e a dimensão estética da competência em informação

Abstract

With the considerable growth in the amount of information available in the modern world, information literacy has become essential, requiring people to develop a set of skills to learn how to learn, which involves searching for, selecting, understanding, and using information autonomously and critically throughout life. This study seeks to investigate how reading clubs contribute to the development of information literacy, with an emphasis on its aesthetic dimension. Through meetings, debates and projects, reading clubs encourage reading and promote the creative and sensitive exploration of information. The research consists of a narrative review of the literature. The results indicate that reading clubs not only facilitate access to and interpretation of information, but also promote various skills related to the dimensions of information literacy, especially the aesthetic dimension, essential for the understanding and creative use of information. It is concluded that reading clubs are conducive environments for developing information literacy, especially in the aesthetic dimension, and that they contribute significantly to the literary and informational maturation of participants.
