Hence the need to diagnose the informational competencies of teachers in training, in order to determine their shortcomings and expectations of achievement. For this purpose, the IL-HUMASS (Information Literacy Humanities Social Sciences Survey) questionnaire was applied to 344 students of nine pedagogical specialties of a faculty of education. The results show the differences in acquisition, in terms of the importance and self-efficacy attributed to informational competencies, and the need to redesign teacher training. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
