Resumen

Los flujos actuales de información en línea han tomado dimensiones inmensurables, logrando con ello influir en las masas, tanto de forma positiva como negativa, permitiendo así la toma de decisiones y la generación de formas de pensar, que en diversas ocasiones resultan infundadas y provocan la desinformación. El análisis parte de la necesidad de generar una contribución epistémica en torno a los procesos de información en línea con fines de clasificación y caracterización general con especial enfoque hacia países emergentes (especialmente latinoamericanos) a través de la investigación documental. Esta propuesta identifica la construcción de una taxonomía de procesos de evaluación de la información, constituida en tres grupos generales: (1) los estructurados (provenientes de la educación formal y por medio de contenidos sistemáticos que provocan un aprendizaje explícito); (2) los no estructurados (adquiridos de forma deliberada, por medio de procesos no formales, que generan un aprendizaje tácito que no necesariamente es correcto o fundamentado); y (3) los complementarios (referidos a metodologías alternativas de diagnóstico sobre situaciones de desinformación). Se concluye presentando propuestas de diversas formas de intervención e identificación de mejores prácticas en razón de evitar sesgos en la mala interpretación, especialmente cuando la información es falsa.
