DigitalThe technologiesuse of the internet has significantly increased worldwide over the past two decades, but at the same time, concerns have arisen about problematic usage, which is associated with serious mental health issues. The problem is defined as an activity that causes difficulties in educationa encompassperson's thelife utilizationand encompasses a wide range of variousactivities digitalsuch tools,as software,gaming, social media, and online resourcesshopping. toHowever, supportthere learningis a lack of a clear definition, and teaching.certain Thebehaviors pivotalmay roleresemble ofother digitaldisorders technologiessuch liesas inobsessive-compulsive transformingdisorder or social anxiety.

Additionally, the research assesses teachers' self-perceived digital literacy and competencies. A descriptive research method was employed, and data were collected through a survey of 105 subject teachers from primary schools in the Novi Pazar region. The survey included questions about the frequency of digital technology use, types of media used in the teaching process, learning outcomes through digital technology application, teachers' competencies inpersonal information literacy,or andcyberbullying. theBetter level of interaction in classes where digital technologies are present. The results indicate widespread use of digital technologies in the teaching process, with a significant number of teachers opting for its implementation to enrich the teaching process and enhance students' knowledge. Teachers of natural sciences perceive their level of digital literacy to be higher compared to teachers of social sciences.

Internet safety is becoming increasingly important, and access to the improvementinternet is happening at younger ages, necessitating tailored safety campaigns. Furthermore, internet safety is not only considered a technical issue but also involves the human factor. In Croatia, research on internet safety among children is limited, but there are initiatives such as the National Center for Safer Internet. The aim of the teachingresearch process.is to explore differences between actual risky online behavior of adolescents and their self-assessment and to raise awareness about information security and the potential risks. The study will include 250 high school students (gymnasiums and vocational schools) within the Sisak-Moslavina County, which will be divided into 5 clusters. Empirical data will be collected using the BKUIS questionnaire containing 17 questions divided into 4 subscales, two of which are behavioral and two cognitive. It is expected that male students will be more cautious on the online simulation scale of student behavior, and that there will be a statistically significant difference in the simulation test between students regarding the type of schooling. Regarding the self-assessment of risky online behavior, it is expected that male students will have a self-assessment of risky online behavior that corresponds to the self-assessment of risky behavior, and that four-year high school students (gymnasiums) will have a higher self-assessment of risky behavior compared to vocational school students who will deviate from the simulation scale. A statistically significant gender difference is also expected in students' awareness of information security in favor of males, and that students in four-year high schools will have more awareness of internet safety than vocational school students.
