Contributions of information mediation and the 2030 Agenda for school libraries: action plan for the Multimedia Centers of CREDE 19 state schools (Juazeiro do Norte)
Agenda 2030. Information mediation. Multimedia Center. CREDE 19.
With the advancement of science and technology, amid the worsening of global problems and challenges, information emerges as a strategic and fundamental resource. Faced with this new scenario, which considers the current stage of human knowledge as the Information Society, the field of information and communication was, without a doubt, one of the most impacted. Therefore, the information management models that were being adopted, based on the custodial, patrimonial and technicalist paradigm, are no longer able to meet current demands. In this context, the concept of information is renewed and studies and debates emerge around the concept of mediation, which lay the foundations for new ways of using, producing, sharing and mastering information. The concept of mediation can make an important contribution to information and communication science, as well as to librarianship and professionals who work in libraries, as its application in this field necessarily leads to new reflections on procedures, practices and use of information. In view of this, libraries, called Multimedia Centers within the scope of state schools in Ceará, are seen as fundamental institutions for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), contained in the 2030 Agenda, an important document published by the United Nations (UN). ), in which access to information is recognized as a right for everyone. The present research has the general objective of investigating the reality of Multimedia Centers in state schools covered by the Regional Coordination of Education Development - CREDE 19, with a view to developing a proposal for Continuing Teacher Training based on new concepts and the perspective of Agenda 2030. Data collection in schools took place through the application of a semi-structured questionnaire, direct observation in the Multimedia Rooms and interviews with some teachers. The data obtained through bibliographic and field research were systematized and analyzed, adopting a qualitative approach. It is hoped that this research can contribute to changing the current reality of Multimedia Centers in our schools, making them more participatory and protagonists, based on the recognition of their pedagogical role in the school curriculum.
