ABSTRACT

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has created opportunities in social and business contexts while demanding new personal competencies. This demand has motivated the growth of an education program focused on digital competence and digital literacy, as a part of wider education perspective shift called Education 4.0. The proliferation of digital technology has also influenced the way students do the process of learning, doing assignments, and nurturing creativities. This research aims to explore the influences of digital competence and digital literacy on academic performance, with special attention to the role of inovativeness as a mediator between digital competence and academic performance, and between digital literacy and academic performance.
