Design and validation of a virtual teaching-learning environment as a didactic resource for information literacy training
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to describe the design, validation and implementation of a virtual teaching-learning environment as a didactic resource for information literacy training. An applied descriptive technological innovation analysis was conducted at Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola Provincial General University Hospital in Ciego de Avila. Use was made of the technological support in the Moodle platform. The research developed along three stages: facto-perceptible, development and validation of contributions, and application of contributions). The virtual learning environment was validated by expert criteria and applied to 55 participants. The EVEA-health design fostered self-management and skill-developing learning among student participants. Validation by expert criteria not only made it possible to evaluate the feasibility and scientific-methodological relevance of the virtual teaching-learning environment, but also its enrichment. The high percentage of good and excellent scores showed that participants developed information competencies related to the appropriate management of information sources and the use of scientific data. The study contributes new knowledge about the usefulness of implementing a virtual teaching-learning environment as a didactic resource for information literacy training and the development of health information competencies.
Key words: Information literacy; virtual learning environment; distance education; information seeking behavior.
