This article explores the various factors that contribute to enhancing students' computer self-efficacy within educational settings. This study investigates the role of pedagogical approaches, technological support, teacher-student interactions, and individual characteristics in fostering digital confidence among students. Drawing on empirical research and theoretical frameworks, this paper provides insights into effective strategies for promoting computer self-efficacy and empowering students to navigate digital environments with confidence and competence.
