Abstract:In the digital age, students' ability to effectively use technology—termed digital competence—has become essential for academic success and lifelong learning. Concurrently, self-efficacy, or individuals' belief in their capabilities to execute tasks, plays a crucial role in determining their engagement and performance. This paper explores the relationship between students' digital competence and their self-efficacy, examining how these factors influence one another and their implications for educational practices. By analyzing relevant literature and empirical studies, the paper aims to provide insights into how educators can foster both digital skills and self-efficacy among students.
