ICT Literacy of Teachers and Students in the Context of Students' Critical Thinking

In contemporary education, information literacy is a key competence for both students and teachers. Digital skills can be enhanced and mastered through continuous professional development. Teachers' ICT skills also influence the quality of the educational process. They have more opportunities, options, and competencies to implement modern educational approaches, such as applying active learning methods. Active learning methods significantly aid in developing students' critical thinking. By fostering critical thinking, students become socially, economically, and politically capable individuals who can discern and evaluate the information presented by the mass media.
