  text: With the rapid progress of technological development, self-efficacy in reference
    to digital devices (i.e., information and computer technology [ICT] self-efficacy)
    is an important driver that helps students to deal with technological problems
    and support their lifelong learning processes. Schools, peers, and home learning
    environments are important sources for the development of positive self-efficacy.
    Expanding on previous research, we investigated the associations between different
    aspects of the digital home learning environment and students’ ICT self-efficacy.
    The moderation effects of gender were also tested. A total of 651 children answered
    a questionnaire about different digital home learning environment dimensions and
    estimated their ICT self-efficacy using an adapted scale—Schwarzer and Jerusalem’s
    (1999) general self-efficacy scale. Using the structural equation modeling technique,
    a digital home learning environment containing six different qualities of parental
    support was investigated. Families’ cultural capital, parents’ attitudes toward
    the Internet, and shared Internet activities at home contributed positively to
    ICT self-efficacy. We observed small gender differences, with the moderation effect
    being nonsignificant. The results help researchers and practitioners to understand
    how different dimensions of the digital home learning environment support ICT
    self-efficacy. We will discuss how parents can enhance the home learning environment
    and how teachers can integrate this knowledge into formal education.
