Recent changes in information technology and practices in the information and Web 2.0 society have made it more than ever necessary to train our school and university students to take a thought-out, critical approach to using the information resources at their disposition. In the present study the authors cite the milestones in a half-century of educating in informational culture. Professionals and researchers in the educational sciences, joined and supported by information and communication specialists progressively built a formal body of activity. Based on the work of a research team and a recent international conference dedicated to this topic, the authors select a number of perspectives around which programs could consolidate their approach to informational education, indispensable to training culturally autonomous individuals who are professionally efficient and capable of exercising critical judgment fundamental to authentic citizenship. © ADBS.
