Autoevaluación de la competencia informacional en los estudios de psicología desde la percepción del estudiante

Taking into account the establishment of the European Higher Education Area, an approach into the self-assessment of information competences by students of Psychology is proposed. Our diagnostic tool is the IL-HUMASS survey, focused on four key dimensions: information search, evaluation, processing and communication-diffusion. The questionnaire also has a three-faceted viewpoint: motivation, self-efficacy and learning habits from the students. We present the results enhancing which are the competences best and worst evaluated by students, in diverse courses; which ones they consider they manage better, which ones they consider as more important; and which seem more difficult for them, regarding understanding and development. In our conclusions we will offer a practical proposal to intervene and help the students in order to improve the weaknesses diagnoses in their information competence.
