Abstract [English]

There are many difficulties and challenges in today’s world. Students will encounter numerous issues if they do not equip themselves with the required knowledge or competencies. Along with information and skills, students should be encouraged to develop their creative thinking, flexibility, and ability to overcome hardship. Students’ ability to acquire these skills and maintain healthy levels of confidence is crucial, as it will not only equip them to navigate challenging situations but also provide them with the opportunity to apply these skills in the future. While critical thinking, digital literacy, and communication are still valuable abilities, students must develop their resilience to bounce back from crises and adversities faster.
The study is a conceptualization approach. Building academic resilience of students: The role of self-confidence. The study integrates ideas from several research articles or theories and offers a novel viewpoint or derives conclusions from the integration. The study’s findings reported that confidence and resilience are essential as students pursue their academic objectives while navigating the challenges of the contemporary world. When students are more confident in themselves and their capabilities, they are more resilient. Self-confidence and resilience go hand in hand. By developing these essential qualities, people can enhance their general quality of life, relationships, and mental health. Confidence and resilience are necessary for success, whether pursuing a personal objective or dealing with a challenging circumstance.
