- We analyse the perceptions of university Social Science faculty about their own and their students' information and digital competence, as well as the changes that have taken place as a result of the virtualization of learning caused by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). The methodology is qualitative, and is based on the application of two techniques: the focus group, conducted with experienced teachers from three Spanish universities, and the interview, which was applied to the same sample after the suspension of classroom-based teaching. The results show that faculty informing this study have a critical view of the informational and digital competence of students, attributing to them a lack of capacity for evaluation, critical use and communication of information despite their mastery of technological tools and the massive use of mobile devices. Furthermore, they doubt their own capacity to train students in this competence, and attribute to various factors of university culture the difficulty in achieving and promoting this learning: the lack of coordination among teaching staff, sometimes in situations of precarious employment, or the way in which the European Higher Education Area has been applied in universities. The faculty recognize the basic and transversal nature of this competence, and advocate that it be integrated into the real working methodology of all subjects, not in a segregated way. Finally, the effort made for the "virtual" development of teaching as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic has been a boost for the faculty, that declare a positive disposition to review their own informational-digital practices in order to adapt their teaching, but believe that it has barely improved the information and digital competence of the students so far.
