Epistemic vs Non-Epistemic Criteria to Assess Wikipedia Articles: Evolution of Young People Perceptions
Critères épistémiques d'évaluation des articles de Wikipédia vs critères non épistémiques : évolution des représentations juvéniles
Abstract
This paper tackles the problem of information credibility assessment by users, focusing on Wikipedia articles. We consider both epistemic and non-epistemic criteria. We conducted a study using a questionnaire where 841 French young people aged from 11 to 25 years participated and we analysed the results considering the level of education as a variable. We found that the higher the level of education is, the more young people mention epistemic credibility criteria and the less they indicate non-epistemic criteria. We draw some recommendation for information literacy.
