Integración curricular de las competencias informacionales en procesos formativos de pregrado en la universidad cubana actual

The need and importance of the formation of information competencies in Cuban universities has been exposed in the scientific literature and in normative documents of the Ministry of Higher Education. Previous research reveals insufficiencies in the integration of information competencies into the academic curriculum of undergraduate degree programs in Cuban contemporary university. The analysis of the literature evidenced that one of the fundamental causes is related to the insufficiency of proposals that guarantee the transversality and convergence of the formation of information competencies in the undergraduate training processes. Therefore, this research aims to establish that curricular strategies, by guaranteeing transversality and convergence at the level of the entire curriculum, constitute a suitable variant for the curricular integration of information competencies into the academic curriculum of undergraduate degree programs in Cuban contemporary university. In the research, a review of the literature published in three Cuban scientific journals recognized in several studies as the most productive in topics of information competencies-ALFIN and in the ALFIN / IberoAmerican Wiki-Repository-Cuba, was carried out. Related to the formation of information competencies in undergraduate training processes in Cuban universities; similarly, foreign investigations on the subject were consulted. The systematization allowed an approach to the Cuban and international experiences on the integration of the formation of informational competences in the university curricula

Competencias informacionales en la formación de ingenieros informáticos en Cuba/Training information competencies in informatics science and computer science engineering careers in Cuba. Notes for a theoretical and methodological conception

El trabajo muestra los resultados de un estudio sobre la formación de competencias informacionales en las carreras de Ingeniería Informática en Cuba, en él se evidencia que, aunque reconocen como objeto de trabajo los procesos de gestión de la información y el conocimiento, los futuros ingenieros poseen insuficiente desarrollo de competencias informacionales. El análisis de los planes de estudio reflejó que las competencias informacionales constituyen exigencias inherentes a la profesión del ingeniero informático, y deberían prepararlos no solo para que se relacionen con la información, sino para diseñar e implantar sistemas de información en las organizaciones. Su objetivo es revelar nuevas relaciones y cualidades de la formación de competencias informacionales en las ingenierías informáticas
