Abstract
Abstract. In the context of the transition to a digital economy, the importance of the digital competencies of students, which are necessary for further professional activities and safe presence in the digital environment, is growing. The article presents an overview and systematization of scientific approaches that reveal the content of digital literacy. The ratio of scientific categories «digital literacy» and «digital competence» is proposed. Specific facts confirm the use of digital technologies in education, which implies the presence of digital competencies in students. It has been established that digital literacy involves the formation of skills for searching, analyzing, evaluating the information received; active use of educational platforms, digital media security technologies in the digital environment. In this regard, the purpose of the author’s research is to determine the level of formation of digital competencies of students in the system of higher education. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the theoretical substantiation of the content of digital literacy and the systematization of approaches based on a competency-based approach. In this context, of interest are the results of a survey of students of the Tyumen Industrial University, aimed at identifying problems in the formation of digital competencies in higher education. The results of the study can serve as an important methodological tool in determining risk groups regarding the level of development of digital competencies among students, the application of methods for the safe use of content, and the prevention of the spread of destructive Internet practices among students.
