- Abstract
- In the contemporary educational landscape, information competence has become an indispensable skill for learners across all levels. This article investigates the presence and integration of information competence within current curricula and educational programs. It explores how curricula address information literacy, digital skills, and critical thinking as part of holistic student development. By analyzing educational documents and frameworks from various regions and academic levels, this study highlights prevailing trends, gaps, and best practices in the incorporation of information competence. The findings suggest that while many curricula recognize the importance of information skills, the depth and method of integration vary significantly. The article concludes with recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of curricula in cultivating information competence essential for the 21st century.
