• Resumen

  • The purpose of this work is to present the results of a research study aimed at investigating the types of motivation and beliefs about self-efficacy that contribute to the progress in learning information literacy among university students. To define the scope of the study, the conceptual framework of self-efficacy and the contributions of the theory of self-determination were adopted. A qualitative methodology based on semi-structured interviews was employed. The sample consisted of 24 students from a private university located in the capital of Oaxaca, Mexico, selected through intentional and convenience sampling. Content analysis was utilized for interpreting the interview transcripts, with the preparation of memos and comparative tables. The findings revealed that the acquisition of information literacy is a gradual process characterized by two key aspects: changes in students’ beliefs concerning the purpose of seeking information within the university context and a tendency to display greater self-determination in their information-seeking behavior. The study concludes that the attitudinal component plays a crucial role in determining the level of engagement and effort that students are willing to invest in learning information literacy.
