Se destaca la necesidad de incluir una dimensión pedagógica dentro de las investigaciones de tratamiento documental de contenido, centrando la atención en el enfoque didáctico del resumen. Se abre así una nueva vía de análisis, desde la didáctica del resumen documental y la adquisición de la competencia resumidora. Se definen y caracterizan los principios básicos de esta didáctica, fundamentados en la noción de competencia y se describe un modelo holístico para aquella, describiendo sus componentes y funcionamiento.

It stresses the need to include a pedagogical perspective into research documentary content treatment, focusing on didactical approach of the abstract studies. A new field research is open from the abstracting competence and its acquisition. The theoretical framework focused on competencies is defined and the implications for the career instructive design are outlined. Moreover, a holistic and dynamic model for abstracting competence is described. This competency model is reviewed from a distinction between competence (the underlying system of knowledges, skills, attitudes, etc.) and performance (abstracting). Moreover, abstracting competence is made up of a system of sub-competences that are strongly interrelated, hierarchically sequenced relations and subject to variations in context. This abstracting competence is actualised in different ways in different situations.
