Type: article

Abstract: This article analyzes the interconnection between students' epistemic perspectives, self-efficacy in information retrieval, and digital competencies within the modern educational environment. The study involved 170 students and examined the correlation between digital competencies, views on knowledge and the cognitive process, and indicators of self-confidence in information retrieval activities. The results obtained based on Spearman's correlation coefficient showed a positive correlation between information and data literacy and problem-solving competencies with certain epistemic views and self-efficacy in information retrieval.
