Abstract

Introduction: The formation of informational competencies from the curriculum in university students is a frequent topic of analysis by various researchers. The search for excellence in the education and training of competent information professionals are premises for higher education worldwide, an aspect from which Cuba is not exempt. In this context, the authors developed a research with the objective of characterizing the formation of informational competencies in Health Technology students from the curriculum. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at the Faculty of Health Technology of the University of Medical Sciences of Havana during the year 2024. In the research, a critical analysis of the teaching programs that are related to training was developed of informational competencies from the Health Technology curriculum. An observation guide was applied in which the inclusion of topics that contribute to the formation of informational competencies in Health Technology students was evaluated. Among the results obtained, it stands out that 70.8% of the components evaluated globally in the four teaching programs do not fully contribute to the formation of informational competencies. Conclusions: it is essential to take into consideration the growing tendency to link the information literacy process within the university curriculum for the formation of information competencies and, consequently, design teaching programs that contribute to this end.
