Abstract
Science education and media and information literacy (MIL) significantly
contribute to the current landscape of contested knowledge surrounding science
and scientists, as evidenced by movements against COVID-19 health protocols.
Nonetheless, a broader view than that typically portrayed of complexity is
required. This chapter aims to offer recommendations to avoid counter-productive
approaches based on problematic assumptions, such as considering all types of
untrustworthy information as fake news. Thus, this chapter aims to problematize
views about the information disorder phenomenon in the context of natural
science in Brazil by providing a complex and coherent vision of the issue in
the context of natural science educators and education.
