Approaches to the education of the instrumentalities in the information science area

Abstract

This research had the objective of evaluating the education of the disciplines Linguistics and Documentation, Elements of Logic for Documentation, Quantitative Methods Applied to the Information Science and Instrumental English, as well as the relations that they establish between its content and Information Science. In order to achieve such goal, a data collection instrument was applied to pupils with the objective of verifying the link between the content worked in the instrumentality and the Information Science area. As partial results, especially obtained by the analysis of four discipline summaries, as well as the analysis of the Political-Pedagogical Course Project, was got some points in common, joints of the instrumentality: a) contents integration with other course disciplines; b) a practice that goes with the clarity of the professional whom it intends to form; c) inquiry and research practice; d) joint of the graduation education with the pos-graduation. As a recommendation, is suggested a survey of the instrumentality distribution among the course curriculums of the Ibero-american Information Science area to evaluate how these curriculums behave inside an interdisciplinary perspective.
