To have the flexibility to productively participate in a society awash with emerging and disruptive forms of knowledge creation and distribution, students need to be taught the skills to collaboratively develop their own criteria for evaluating the validity of information.This paper describes a formative intervention, based on Vygotskianprinciples, in which students confront contradictions in their practice as astimulus for their learning and development. A second stimulus is provided by the collaborative creation of a mediating conceptual artifact, a tool for accuracy and reliability of digital information, which is reformulated and applied. Using such artifacts to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of complex and problematic sources externalizes the generation of criteria. This process nurtures students’ emerging identity as scientists through increasingly sophisticated decision making and metacognitive reflection, and motivates students to embed more sophisticated, reasoned judgments.
