“互联网+”和新媒体环境下,“信息疫情”十分严峻。认识、理解和防控“信息疫情”的根本途径在于公众信息素养的培养和提升。全面探索公众信息素养培育路径,具有重要意义。基于文献阅读的基础上,进行信息素养内涵梳理,总结公众信息素养培育目标。结合社会需求与信息环境,分析关注公众信息素养培育的现实动因与积极意义。教育与信息技术的发展,使我国公众信息素养培育已有一定成就,但仍存在培育对象较单一、培育断层等问题。由此提出公众信息素养培育应:扩大信息素养培育范围,以终身学习理论为宣传支撑,推进公众信息素养培育供给侧发展,出台国家层面的公众信息素养培育体系,净化信息素养培育的互联网环境。  相似文献

Objective:The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the public''s need for quality health information that is understandable. This study aimed to identify (1) the extent to which COVID-19 messaging by state public health departments is understandable, actionable, and clear; (2) whether materials produced by public health departments are easily readable; (3) relationships between material type and understandability, actionability, clarity, and reading grade level; and (4) potential strategies to improve public health messaging around COVID-19.Methods:Based on US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics from June 30, 2020, we identified the ten states with the most COVID-19 cases and selected forty-two materials (i.e., webpages, infographics, and videos) related to COVID-19 prevention according to predefined eligibility criteria. We applied three validated health literacy tools (i.e., Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool, CDC Clear Communication Index, and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level) to assess material understandability, actionability, clarity, and readability. We also analyzed correlations between scores on the three health literacy tools and material types.Results:Overall, COVID-19 materials had high understandability and actionability but could be improved in terms of clarity and readability. Material type was significantly correlated with understandability, actionability, and clarity. Infographics and videos received higher scores on all tools.Conclusions:Based on our findings, we recommend public health entities apply a combination of these tools when developing health information materials to improve their understandability, actionability, and clarity. We also recommend using infographics and videos when possible, taking a human-centered approach to information design, and providing multiple modes and platforms for information delivery.  相似文献
