Abstract

Informacijska pismenost danas je dobro etablirana, uglavnom u znanstvenom diskursu, a proces konsolidacije pojma i koncepta bio je dugotrajan i zapravo još nije završen. Iako među definicijama postoji više konvergencije nego divergencije, ipak je zamjetan nedostatak konsenzusa o poimanju informacijske pismenosti, što upućuje na složenost fenomena, ali i različite teorijske, pa i ideološke pravce i pristupe.
Rad daje pregled razvoja koncepta, definicija, modela i standarda informacijske pismenosti, te razmatra tehnološke, društvene i pedagoške paradigme koje su dovele do pojave informacijske pismenosti, ali i potaknule njen daljnji razvoj. Informacijska pismenost razmatra se u odnosu na utjecaj neoliberalne agende na zahtjeve prema informacijskom opismenjivanju te se iznose ključne postavke kritičke informacijske pismenosti i kritičke pedagogije kao alternativne paradigme i kritike informacijske pismenosti kao neoliberalnog projekta.
U istraživačkom dijelu rada predstavljeni su rezultati istraživanja o informacijskoj pismenosti u kontekstu radničkih prava. Istraživanjem su se ispitivali obrasci informacijskog ponašanja radnika, razina informiranosti radnika o radničkim pravima, te se pokušalo utvrditi postoje li razlike u razini informiranosti i informacijskom ponašanju među različitim kategorijama radnika. Također su istraživani načini na koje se radnici informiraju o svojim radničkim pravima kao i načini na koje koriste informacije i jesu li spremni aktivno se uključiti u borbu za svoja radnička prava i interese.

Abstract (english)

Today information literacy is well-established, in particular in academic discourse, and the process of the consolidation of the term and the concept has been a longstanding one. Yet it has not been completed. Although there is more convergence than divergence among the definitions, there is nevertheless a lack of consensus on understanding information literacy, which is indicative of the complexity of the phenomenon, as well as various theoretical, even ideological, directions and approaches to it.
The thesis gives an overview of the concept, definitions, models and standards of information literacy and analyses the technological, societal and pedagogical paradigms which led to the emergence of information literacy and which have also encouraged its further evolution. Information literacy is considered in relation to the impact of the neoliberal agenda on demands for information literacy instruction. The thesis also discusses key features of critical information literacy and critical pedagogy as alternative paradigms and provides a critique of information literacy as a neoliberal project.
The research element of the thesis presents the results of an exploration of information literacy in the context of workers' rights. The research examined the patterns of workers' information behaviour and their level of information about workers' rights, and attempted to identify whether there are any differences in the level of information and in information behaviour among different categories of workers. It also explored the ways in which workers inform themselves about their rights as well as the ways in which they use information and whether they are ready actively to fight for their rights and interests.
