Abstract
Digital competence is an important need in modern education and psychology. In today's rapidly developing educational space, digital competence has become essential for both teachers and students. These competencies include several skills necessary for effective navigation and use of digital technologies in the learning environment. Digital competence includes not only the ability to work with technology but also the ability to critically understand information, collaborate, and use digital tools to solve problems. The ability of educational psychologists to effectively apply modern technologies will improve their professional qualifications and establish effective relationships with students. This article discusses pedagogical criteria and methods for developing the digital competence of educational psychologists. In addition, the article examines the use of digital tools in psychological practice, their effectiveness, and their place in modern education. To compare the levels of digital competence of educational psychologists in Kazakhstan and Finland, pedagogical measurements and methods that can be used to enhance digital competence and support students in this important area, an action plan for educational psychologists is proposed.
