The research method was descriptive-correlational in nature and applied in purpose.

To collect data, questionnaires on information literacy (Borjian Borujeni, 2011), communication skills by Ghasemi (2015), and professional competencies of teachers by Motahari-Nejad and Jahangard (2018) were used. In order to analyze the data, correlation coefficient and regression were used using SPSS software.
