The Formation Mechanism and Cultivation Pathways of Digital Competence in College Students
In the era where digital technology has deeply integrated into the entire educational process, college students as core participants in the future digital society have made the cultivation of their digital competence a key issue for higher education to address digital transformation. Based on theories related to digital competence and combined with students 'learning scenarios and developmental needs, this paper systematically analyzes the formation mechanism of digital competence from three dimensions: individual, environmental, and technological aspects. It proposes actionable cultivation pathways through five dimensions—curriculum system restructuring, practical platform construction, faculty team development, evaluation mechanism improvement, and collaborative ecosystem building—providing theoretical references and practical guidance for enhancing talent cultivation quality in higher education's digital transformation.
