Психологически аспекти на дигитализацията при студентите в процеса на изграждане на висшето СМАРТ образование
Psychological Aspects of Digitalisation among Students in the Process of Developing SMART Higher Education

Summary/Abstract: This article explores certain psychological effects of digitalisation in smart higher education. Specifically, the study examines the impact of students' digital competencies on two psychological constructs: self-efficacy and well-being. A dedicated empirical study was conducted with 242 students. The analysis of the results indicates that competencies such as “Maintaining a Digital Identity”, “Collaboration through Digital Technologies”, and “Creative Use of Digital Technologies” play a key role in enhancing well-being by improving social connectivity, confidence, and a sense of meaning. Conversely, “Data Management” and “Integration of Digital Content” contribute negatively, highlighting differences in the impact of digital competencies. Self-efficacy was identified as a central variable mediating the relationship between digital literacy and well-being. This suggests that interventions aimed at developing digital skills and confidence can significantly improve students’ well-being. The study provides valuable insights for designing educational programmes that support digital transformation.
