Abstract
The development of information literacy has become part of anyone's pool of key competencies. This project arises from this need, and seeks the development of information literacy in primary and secondary school pupils through the implementation of a special teacher training programme. We worked with a final sample of 37 teachers and 318 pupils from 7 schools in Castile and León. A training course was initially developed for the teachers, who subsequently carried out an innovation project in their schools with their pupils to develop information literacy. Afterwards, the pupils' information literacy proficiency level was assessed and compared with the results of a previous diagnostic assessment. The results showed that, while primary school pupils experienced a highly significant increase in their proficiency levels for the assessed competency, secondary school pupils remained at similar levels. Our conclusion emphasises the importance of this kind of intervention to promote the development and assessment of key competencies throughout the period of compulsory education.
