Abstract

Recent research reveals significant gaps in digital resiliency among junior high students, despite increasing digital skills. Many learners exhibit proficiency in digital tools but lack the emotional coping strategies necessary to navigate online challenges such as cyberbullying and technology overuse, leading to anxiety and academic difficulties. Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) offers a valuable framework for addressing these gaps by emphasizing self-efficacy, observational learning, and social support as crucial factors in promoting responsible digital citizenship. Empirical studies confirm that enhancing self-efficacy and peer modelling through SCT-based interventions improves students' motivation, coping mechanisms, and digital citizenship outcomes. This article discusses the theoretical foundations of SCT, the nature of digital resiliency, current gaps in learners' digital citizenship skills, and how SCT can guide effective educational practices and governance policies to create balanced, resilient digital learners.
