AB A group of lecturers from diverse areas of knowledge of the University of Alcalá have implemented anexperience of teaching innovation based on “reflective diaries”. The students hand in to the lecturerevery week their “Weekly Reflection Papers” (WRP), in which they schematically express the mostimportant ideas related with the topic presented during the classes of the previous week. They mustinclude their reflections about the aspects they found especially interesting. After having applied thistool for some academic years we introduced a modification called “Guided Weekly Reflection Papers”(GWRP), where the professors suggest a series of questions on which the students must apply themost significant concepts studied each week. This modification enhances student’s motivation,encourages them to achieve more significant and reflective knowledge and generates interest inemergent topics.However, we often detect that the information management needed to solve the proposed questions inthe GWRP is not the most suitable one. Therefore our present work is aimed at helping studentsdevelop the necessary skills and acquire a searching criterion in the framework of the informationliteracy. The strategy was focussed on some important items for the acquisition of informationcompetencies. In this communication we analyze the progress of the GWRP tool and we explore theresponse of students to the information literacy approach.
