MEARS DELGADO, Berenice  and  ESQUIVEL CARREON, Guadalupe. Meta-evaluation of the Information Literacy Evaluation Model Evalfin: Towards a New Proposal. Investig. bibl [online]. 2025, vol.39, n.102, eib1025892103.  Epub June 06, 2025. ISSN 2448-8321.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iibi.24488321xe.2025.102.58921.

The objective is to present the meta-evaluation of the model for assessing Information Literacy, called Evalfin, to determine its value and improvement possibilities and, based on the findings, to offer a new graphic proposal. Two stages of analysis were developed: the first one emerged from the perspective of application experiences to analyze the results, and the second from a theoretical approach to examine the model’s design. The results confirm that it is a good model due to its robust and solid structure; nonetheless, they also reveal the need for improvement so that it can be used by others parties. It was identified that the main problem is the interaction of its components because their scope was not well defined according to the systemic approach structure. This research is important because it conveys the first meta-evaluation of Information Literacy evaluation models and provides an assessment method, a map of evaluation approaches, and a systemic approach structure that may be useful for assessing other similar models.
