Informational Competence and Critical Thinking in Non-University Teaching: a Systematic Review
Abstract
Within the information and communication society the development of informational competence among students is essential, because it allows it to analyze and manage the information it receives from different sources. This, coupled with the emergence of phenomena such as fake news and the development of information and communication technologies (ICT), means that we have opted for this topic of study. The research questions we have asked ourselves are as follows: how informational competence is currently developing, what effects a low development of this competence has, and how critical thinking influences its development. To respond to these, we have used the systematic review as a methodology, analyzing a total of 17 articles extracted from the databases of the Web Of Science, SCOPUS and Google Scholar. The conclusions reached state that informational competence is not developing properly, due to aspects such as the lack of teacher training or lack of resources invested, having to carry out a change in methodology, that a low development of Mass causes a series of negative effects, such as misinformation and that critical thinking is one of the main elements that make up the, being this necessary to achieve a correct development of this competence and a good construction of knowledge among students.
