This article presents the traceability of the concept of information competences in several digital frameworks oriented to teachers. A documentary analysis was carried out based on a bibliographic survey where data from different selected texts were cross-checked. Eight works from international organizations (Unesco, European Union, ISTE) and national educational institutions in Latin America, Spain and the United Kingdom were selected. The different terminologies used by these frameworks in relation to the use of digital technologies in education are discussed, analyzing the concepts of digital competences that they present and identifying the elements of information competences included in them. A table was elaborated with the common aspects found that serve as input for discussion. Although some frameworks do not explicitly include information competences, the following were identified: information search, selection and critical evaluation, and ethical use. These are crossed by the ability to think critically when generating new knowledge.

Keywords : Information Competencies; Competency Frameworks; Digital Competencies for Educators, Education.
