- Abstract
This study aims to analyze the perception of beginner students in the Degree of Primary School Education about their competence to manage information. This ability to manage information has become a fundamental axis in present-day society and its development in teachers is an important educational challenge. This study has used a descriptive-interpretative ex post facto methodology. Data were collected through a questionnaire given to Primary School Degree students who had just started their degree at the University of León. The results indicate that the students regard themselves as highly competent in the most simple and basic digital aspects such as Internet browsing. In contrast, they seem unfamiliar with RSS feeds, social bookmarking sites or start webs. Some useful tools for students such as virtual repositories have never been employed by a significant part of the sample. These shortcomings in the management of information, beyond the most superficial skills, are important for future teachers and for decisions and actions taken in their initial training.
