Although several IL standards and assessments have been developed for secondary and higher education, there is still no agreement about the possible associations between IL and both academic achievement and student dropout rates. In this article, we present a dataset including IL competences measurements, as well as academic achievement and socioeconomic indicators for 153 Chilean first- and second-year engineering students. The dataset is intended to allow researchers to use machine learning methods to study to what extent, if any, IL and academic achievement are related.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data8110164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,27]],"date-time":"2023-10-27T09:42:52Z","timestamp":1698399772000},"page":"164","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Information Competences and Academic Achievement: A Dataset"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9506-2989","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacqueline","family":"K\u00f6hler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Inform\u00e1tica, Universidad de Santiago de Chile, Avenida V\u00edctor Jara #3659, Santiago 9170124, Chile"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4193-6548","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Inform\u00e1tica, Universidad de Santiago de Chile, Avenida V\u00edctor Jara #3659, Santiago 9170124, Chile"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2019, July 20).
