Abstract Digital literacy is a key competency in contemporary education that shapes how students obtain information, engage in meaningful social interactions, and prepare for a world increasingly reliant on technology. Despite being a well-established idea in educational research, the applicability of mindset theory to digital literacy in modern education has not received sufficient attention. This scoping review investigates the impact of a growth-oriented mentality on digital literacy in educational settings. Drawing on the implicit person theory of Carol Dweck and Ellen Leggett (1988), the study synthesizes empirical findings from 10 research publications in psychology, education, and educational technology using a qualitative scoping review approach that relies solely on secondary data. The approach emphasises outcomes at the individual, dyadic, and institutional levels, including patterns of digital skill development and engagement, teacher-student interactions, methods of technology integration, and learners' perseverance in digital activities. Research shows that pupils who adopt a growth mindset are more flexible, resilient, and self-assured when facing digital challenges. The analysis provides evidence-based tactics for teachers to foster these orientations, such as growth-focused curriculum design, reflective digital practices, professional development, and supportive policy frameworks. This study provides a human-centred, research-informed approach to bolstering educational development in the digital age by combining previous knowledge and elucidating the dynamic link between attitude and digital literacy.
