초록

이 연구의 목적은 사회 취약계층의 일상적 정보행태를 연구하기 위한 이론적 틀(메타이론, metatheory)을 비교 분석하는데 있다. 이를 위해 이 연구에서는 정보행태 연구의 대표적인 메타이론인 인지적 접근, 정서적 접근, 사회적 접근을 구분하여 살펴보고, 각 관점과 관련된 대표적인 이론 및 모델의 특성을 분석하였다. 이러한 분석을 통해 이 연구에서는 인지적 관점과 정서적 관점이 정보행태의 복잡하고 역동적인 사회적 맥락과 특성을 있는 그대로 드러내는데 한계가 있음을 지적하고, 이를 극복할 대안으로써 사회적 관점에 주목하였다. 더불어, 사회적 관점에서 연구된 일상적 정보행태의 주요 이론/모델과 사회 취약계층의 정보행태에 관한 선행연구를 분석함으로써, 사회 취약계층의 정보행태와 특성을 연구하기에 적합한 메타이론으로 왜 사회적 관점에 주목해야 하는지를 논리적으로 제시하였다.

The study reviews theoretical and empirical research literature in information needs, seeking and uses in order to search for the most pertinent metatheories for studying information practices of the disadvantaged. The study examines the salient features and main theories/models of each cognitive, affective and social approach in the user-centered paradigm through analyzing prior information practices studies. While analyzing the main features of each cognitive, affective and social approach, the study points out the limitation of research using the cognitive and affective approaches to fail to theorize the relationship between individuals and complex and dynamic socio-cultural contexts in information practices. As an alternative, the study suggests using the social approach as a pertinent metatheory for understanding information practices of the disadvantaged who are entangled with myriad social contexts and issues. In order to verify the pertinence, the study examines the advantages of the social approach through analyzing both the main models related to everyday information practices under social constructionism and the main findings from information practices of the disadvantaged.
