Abstract. Informational-analytical competence is increasingly recognized as a critical skill in modern education, encompassing the ability to search, evaluate, interpret, and apply information effectively. This article examines its theoretical foundations and practical implications in pedagogy and philosophy, emphasizing the integration of analytical thinking, reflection, and ethical responsibility. The research highlights how such competence not only facilitates academic and professional success but also promotes personal growth and lifelong learning. By exploring diverse perspectives and interdisciplinary approaches, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of the concept and suggests strategies for its development in educational contexts.
