The five laws of media and information literacy and their relationship with the critical success factors in knowledge management

Abstract

Objective. On this paper we discuss the competencies required for participatory evaluation processes, presenting the concept of co-evaluation (originated in the Evaluation Research area) and its emerging role in Information Science and Open Science.
Design/Methodology/Approach. Considering that the discussion about collaborative assessment practices is becoming increasingly more relevant, a meta-
evaluation perspective is adopted, contextualizing the pertinence and trajectory of the emerging concept of co-evaluation and giving special emphasis to the development contexts and transferability of competences, which are necessary for the their implementation.
Results/Discusion. The results of the research carried out highlight the role of co-evaluation competences grouped into six dimensions: reflexive practice, technical-based practice, situational analysis, management, interorganizational competences and interpersonal competences.
Conclusions. It is concluded that the wide experience of Information Science in evaluation practices may be a distinctive factor for the discussion around these competences.
Originality/Value. The article presents an innovative approach that, by capitalizing on the contribution of Information Science, proposes a framework of co-evaluation competences, highlighting the transferability of competencies between evaluators and stakeholders in several contexts.
