abstract = {The progress experienced by society resulting from the ready availability of information
through the use of technology highlights the need to develop specific learning related to informational competences (IC) in educational settings where future professionals are trained to educate
others, specifically in university degrees in social sciences. This study seeks to ascertain the opinions
of students enrolled in these degrees at the Universidad de Córdoba (Spain) with regard to the
knowledge they consider that they possess about IC for their future professional development,
through the practical application of exploratory factor analysis. The methodology designed is based
on a descriptive, non-experimental, correlational survey. The results show that factor analysis is a
fundamental tool for obtaining results in terms of students’ perception of their knowledge of IC
because its psychometric value has confirmed construct validity and enabled us to break down the
items that made up the four initial dimensions of IC into eight factors to improve the understanding
and explanation of these IC.},
