Influencing factors in creativity in learning, mediated by self-confidence in university students in the post-pandemic

The research aimed to establish the relationship between factors such as self-esteem, emotional states, and computer anxiety mediated by self-confidence in creativity in learning in post-pandemic university students. The methodology used for the study was non-experimental research; a questionnaire was applied to a convenience sample of 271 students (n=21; α=0.906 =0.917), validity and reliability tests were carried out, and using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equations Modeling (PLS-SEM), the analysis of the proposed model was carried out. The results showed that computer anxiety is accentuated when there is a demand for the use of ICT and a lack of computer resources; it influences self-confidence and creativity in learning and emotional states. In the same way, self-esteem influences self-confidence, creativity in learning, and emotional states. The research provides critical foundations to improve the conditions for developing creative skills in learning.
