Objective: Design an informational device (OD) that, based on a historical-cultural approach, facilitates the observation of information literacy (IL) in the training practices of future teachers (FT). Methods: The study represents a rational-theoretical approach to the design of an OD and is based on observation as a method for representing the reality to be studied. Results: The main achievement of the study is the sharing of the OD proposal and the process related to its validation. Conclusions: i) The concept of reference IL, based on discourse semiotics, represents a basic alternative for describing IL in FT from a historical-cultural perspective and, by determining a specific categorical system of analysis, positions the design of the OD as complex; ii) The intended observation is not neutral in nature, given that it is supported by experiential, epistemological, theoretical, and methodological references; and iii) The “superior” nature of the OD is a basis for enabling a reflective and critical stance towards the observation carried out by FT on their academic information practices. © (2026), (Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina).
