INTRODUCTION
Today, digital technologies have penetrated all areas of
our lives and are bringing significant changes to the
educational process. Developing students' skills in
working with information, teaching them critical
thinking, and providing quick and reliable access to
information sources through modern technologies are
some of the main goals of contemporary education.
Developing information competence ensures that

evaluating, and effectively using information during
the educational process. The importance of digital
technologies in achieving this goal is continuously
increasing.
The current state of the education system is
characterized by the growing role of non-traditional
educational technologies. With their help, the process
of acquiring knowledge is much faster than with
traditional methods. These technologies change the
nature of knowledge development, acquisition, and
distribution, enabling the deepening and broadening
of the content of the subjects studied, quick updates,
the application of more effective teaching methods,
and significantly expanding access to education for
everyone.
When answering the question "What is digital
technology?" we can say the following:
It is a modern form of management in which a large set
of data in digital form and the process of its processing
serve as the main factors in production and
management. Using the results in practice allows us to
achieve traditional efficiency. Examples include various
automated production processes, 3D technologies,
cloud technologies, remote medical services, growing
and delivering products, storing various goods, and
selling them. In this article, we will focus on the
digitalization of the education system.
With the help of digital technologies, students gain
access to global information resources, broadening
their knowledge base and developing their ability to
make information-based decisions. As stated in the
book Educational Research: Planning, Conducting, and
Evaluating Quantitative and Qualitative Research by
John W. Creswell, digital technologies in education are
not only tools for distributing information but also
serve as crucial factors in developing students' skills in
analyzing and understanding information. These
processes have distinct advantages and challenges in
using modern technologies, which necessitates the
need to explore them in depth and develop effective
methods
to
enhance
students'
information
competence. Thus, this article is aimed at analyzing the
role of digital technologies in shaping students'
information competence and their impact on the
educational process.
DISCUSSION AND RESULTS
Through digital technologies, the methods of
education are becoming easier for learners. In this
context, multimedia, overhead projectors, computers,
laptops, internet-connected televisions, telephone
lines, smartboards, and projectors play the role of
educational tools. For educators, using these tools in
lessons ensures the improvement of teaching quality.
It is well-known that the use of digital technologies in
online classes yields positive results. For example,
online classes broadcasted via television can be
considered a form of digital education.
Thus, in digital education:
Learners have the opportunity to study anytime and
anywhere;
The culture of acquiring and using information from
the internet is developed;
The education system is elevated to a new level;
It significantly reduces time and financial costs;
Learners have an advantage in the "digital world,"
preventing them from being left behind and helping
them find better job opportunities, among other
benefits.
The establishment of Wi-Fi zones and IT parks plays a
significant role in the advancement of the digital
education system. It creates the opportunity to
enhance educators' ability to work with digital

technologies and organize various open courses
online. This, in turn, encourages educators to work
more on themselves and, due to competition, further
improves the quality of education.
Additionally, digital technologies contribute to the
implementation of artificial intelligence technologies,
such as detecting cases of tax evasion, preventing
fraud, analyzing data, automating repetitive processes,
and increasing transparency. Furthermore, big data
enables the storage, processing, and better
forecasting of large volumes of data received by tax
authorities, as well as improving document exchange
between taxpayers and tax authorities.
Let’s consider the following points on how to
effectively use digital technologies in shaping
information literacy.
1. Utilization of Digital Resources: To develop students'
skills in information searching and analysis, it is
essential to use digital libraries, academic article
databases, online information resources, and e-books.
For example, platforms such as Google Scholar, JSTOR,
and ResearchGate allow students to access scholarly
information. This enhances their research abilities,
source selection, and analytical skills.
2. Interactive Teaching and Multimedia Tools: By
utilizing digital technologies, teachers can conduct
interactive lessons and explain topics through videos,
animations, simulations, and other multimedia tools.
This method enhances the quality of education and
makes the learning process more engaging for
students, as they not only study textual information
but also work with visual and audiovisual materials.
3. Online Courses and MOOCs: Through Massive Open
Online Courses (MOOC) platforms, such as Coursera,
edX, Udemy, and others, students can acquire
knowledge in various fields. These platforms provide
opportunities for students to strengthen their skills,
acquire new knowledge, and engage in personal
development. Additionally, online courses allow
students to explore topics that are relevant and
interesting to them.
4. Collaborative Tools and Cloud Technologies:
Students can use collaborative tools such as Google
Docs, Microsoft 365, Trello, and Slack to work on group
projects. These tools enable teamwork, facilitate idea
exchange, and support project development. This, in
turn, improves students' information-sharing abilities
and critical thinking skills.
5. Critical Thinking and Analysis: Digital technologies
can also be used to teach students critical thinking. For
example, students should learn to analyze online
information, identify misinformation, and distinguish
between reliable and unreliable sources. These skills
help them use information effectively and accurately.
6. Monitoring and Assessment: Teachers can use digital
tools to conduct quizzes, surveys, and tests to assess
and track students' knowledge. Tools like Quizlet,
Kahoot!, or Google Forms can be used to evaluate
students' understanding, identify areas of weakness,
and make the necessary adjustments to improve their
learning.
7. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Using
digital technologies like artificial intelligence and
machine learning, students can be supported in quickly
analyzing information, taking automated tests, or
receiving personalized recommendations. These
technologies help students test and enhance their
knowledge.
CONCLUSION
In this way, digital technologies not only contribute to
developing students' information literacy but also
assist teachers in applying effective and innovative
teaching methods. They have become an integral part
