ALBITRES CRUZADO, David Jaime. Digital skills and academic self-efficacy in students from a private pedagogical institute in Lima. Tribunal [online]. 2025, vol.5, n.11, pp.524-540.  Epub 01-Abr-2025. ISSN 2959-6513.  https://doi.org/http://doi.org/10.59659/revistatribunal.v5i11.173.

Digital skills are essential for academic development, linked to virtual learning management and academic self-efficacy. This study sought to determine the relationship between digital skills and academic self-efficacy in students at a private pedagogical institute in Lima. This study used a quantitative, correlational, and cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 122 students. Surveys and validated instruments were used to collect data. The results show a moderate positive correlation between both variables (Rho = 0.512, p = .000). Digital content creation (Rho = 0.450) and problem-solving (Rho = 0.539) were found to be significant predictors of academic self-efficacy. Meanwhile, digital security showed a weak association (Rho = 0.305), highlighting a learning gap. The conclusions emphasize the importance of digital competencies in higher education and point to the urgent need to reorient training programs to strengthen critical dimensions, ensuring that students are responsible managers of their learning in technological environments.
