Digital literacy as a catalyst for academic confidence: exploring the interplay between academic self-efficacy and academic procrastination among medical students
The findings underscore the critical role of digital literacy in fostering academic self-efficacy and reducing procrastination among medical students. Educators can develop more effective interventions to support medical students in their academic journey by targeting specific dimensions of procrastination, particularly self-efficacy-related procrastination. Future research should consider longitudinal studies to confirm causality and explore these dynamics in diverse educational settings.
