The contribution of reading competence models in the information society

Abstract

It analyzes the functionality of national and international models within the scope of reading competence, understanding how processes of formation of the skills of searching, evaluation, understanding and use of the different types of reading in the information and knowledge society are visualized. Through a survey in online databases and a case study, the importance of the training processes of a reading competence articulated with the information literacy is highlighted. Based on the experience of the models suggested in articles published in periodicals, the scarcity of scientific productions focused on this theme is identified, revealing the need to conduct studies mainly in Brazil. When investigating the guidelines of the proposed model in the context of the Competence Studies Network of the Federal University of Espírito Santo, it is verified the relevance of the guidelines that can be used in fact mainly by school, university and public libraries.
