“…On the one hand, those who trust are students who think that the prestige of certain media is a guarantee of good information. In this sense, Alcalá-Santaella et al ( 2021 ) in their study observe that the high reputation of the media makes the news more credible and vice versa, establishing a bidirectional relationship between the construction of reputation and the veracity of the news published. At the same time, many of these media are part of what is perceived as hegemonic, and for other students, there is an underlying idea that they respond to interests of various kinds that bias information.…”

“…It should be noted that the arguments put forward by students for distrust point to two fundamental issues regarding the circulation of news through social networks, one is the easy distortion resulting from mass dissemination and the other is the difficulty in tracing sources and authors. In connection with the first issue, Alcalá-Santaella et al, ( 2021 ) note that news or headlines are less credible but more interesting when their impact is greater, although they do not focus on the reasons behind them. And with respect to the second question, it has been studied that unverified accounts significantly boost the dissemination of misinformation (Xu et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Within the criterion of news structure , elements such as clarity, use of sources, and wording were identified as influencing interest and trust in the information (Alcalá-Santaella et al, 2021 ; Arias Robles, 2014 ; Gómez-García & Carrillo-Vera, 2020 ). It was raised that what is commonly referred to as “fake news,” usually do not present sources, nor quotes, nor official links; or they may refer to another news item generating a sort of circular verification (Gragnani, 2018 ; Télam, 2021 ).…”

Co-design of a Teaching–Learning Sequence to Address COVID‑19 as a Socio‑scientific Issue in an Infodemic Context

In the post-truth era, one challenge facing science education is the circulation of fake news that distorts the information available for decision-making on issues that have a scientific basis and are controversial for society. In this work, we aimed at designing a learning environment with the objective of equipping students with skills that allow them to deal with socio-scientific issues (SSI) in an infodemic context. To this end, we proposed an educational innovation through design-based research, which was oriented to the treatment of information disseminated in the media and social networks related to COVID-19. We divided this information into four major constructs: virus and disease dynamics; pandemic and environmental crisis; hygiene and protocols; and vaccines, potential solutions, and pharmaceutical industry. On the basis of the activities of the didactic sequence, which included class discussion, interviews with the immediate environment, audiovisual productions, and a final plenary, we identified criteria that students applied to trust or not trust the circulating information and a series of strategies to corroborate the information. In addition, framing COVID-19 as an SSI allowed the discussion of curricular content in science and on sociocultural dimensions that cross the pandemic. Based on the implementation of the teaching–learning sequence, we conclude that the proposed activities favored reflection on critical thinking and awareness of the responsibilities they have as potential disseminators and/or generators of information.

We live in a hyper-informed society that is constantly being fed with information stimuli. That information may not be correct, and society may be vulnerable to it. We present a methodological proposal with a mixed approach that allows the learning of the characteristics and weaknesses of news consumers in the face of disinformation. Said methodology moves away from the traditional model, and with it a new, much more complete and complex way of conducting discussion groups is carried out. The qualitative approach is carried out through the creation of an online community in which subjects are encouraged to participate in different activities and tests. On the other hand, in order to obtain quantitative data, a quasi-experimental survey where respondents are exposed to various stimuli created ad hoc, which seeks to measure the interest and credibility of different news items through an orthogonal design, is carried out. The use of this methodology will allow for an expansive and intensive approach to the knowledge of societal vulnerability factors, and with the subsequent results, a solid basis of disinformation can be established, which will allow for the development of a series of strategies to combat disinformation.

“…Por último, hemos querido testar la opinión de los periodistas sobre el daño que las redes sociales pueden hacer a la imagen del sector. Encontramos una posición común que señala que, desde las plataformas digitales, especialmente en Twitter, se contribuye a un fuerte crecimiento de ataques y menosprecio a una profesión que es fundamental para la sociedad, y que investigaciones previas, como la de Alcalá-Santaella et al (2021), se reafirman en nuestro estudio.…”

La desinformación y los bulos son fenómenos comunicativos anteriores al nacimiento de las redes sociales, pero con la consolidación de estas se han hecho más visibles. El periodismo tiene una misión fundamental como escudo contra esta problemática y como creador de noticias y contenidos veraces, pero para ello necesita mantener la credibilidad entre la sociedad, muy proclive a dudar de los medios tradicionales. El presente artículo indaga en la percepción de los profesionales de la comunicación sobre la influencia de estos dos fenómenos —la desinformación y los bulos—, así como de los mecanismos de verificación de contenidos —el fact checking— en el desempeño de la profesión periodística y su evolución futura. El procedimiento elegido para la recolección de datos consistió en 20 entrevistas a periodistas que ejercen la profesión en España, con el objetivo de que nos ofrezcan una visión panorámica de la actuación del periodismo contra la desinformación y las fake news, así como su relación con la audiencia. De los resultados se desprende una actitud positiva y firme de la profesión para luchar contra las noticias falsas, reivindicando su profesionalidad, valorando la verificación de los contenidos y el papel de las fuentes de información de confianza, y una visión crítica en la que se pone el foco en la necesidad de que tanto los medios como las audiencias pongan más esfuerzo e interés en informarse de manera eficiente. Se reconoce igualmente que estamos ante un fenómeno que solo se puede solucionar de forma parcial dada su complejidad.
