Abstract

Students' digital competences are essential for their success in higher education and later in the labour market. However, there has been little research on students' digital competences. Moreover, we note that the results of recent studies that have shown the importance of socio-demographic factors in the development of students' digital competences are inconsistent. In addition, little is known about how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected students' digital competences. Therefore, a questionnaire based on the digital competence framework has been developed and distributed to Slovenian students. The results of the students' self-assessment show that they are most competent when it comes to communicating and collaborating using information and communication technology, as well as browsing, searching, evaluating, storing and processing information, and are somewhat less competent when it comes to protecting their devices and personal data, and least competent in developing, positioning and recreating digital content and in solving technical problems using information and communication technology. In addition, their digital competences do not differ by gender, age or education level, and the Covid-19 situation has not significantly improved their digital competences.
