Positioned as future gatekeepers, pre-service are the key to teaching skills especially information generations of pupils. Given particular challenges facing educators today compared previous generations, it is important determine whether next generation feel adequately prepared perceive themselves competent pass on these their However, research highlighted deficiencies formal learning opportunities at universities, underscoring need for further investigation into teachers’ acquisition, evaluation practices well perceived relevance teaching, person-related factors associated competence literacy. Method An online questionnaire was presented participants, employing mixed-method approach. We qualitatively examined sources used by strategies they employ, while quantitatively analyzing relationships between competence. Participants assessed competence, opportunities, self-efficacy (general related assessment), informedness, selective exposure, cognition, cognitive closure, mistrust coverage. Results Data from 371 participants revealed dominance acquisition over traditional sources, albeit prevalence surface-level approaches. Two distinct dimensions emerged: one focusing assessment other centers understanding news creation processes. Perceived significantly assessment, exposure evaluation. Moreover, diverse demonstrated heightened sense assessment. Discussion Our results provide valuable insights multifaceted nature Theoretical implications practical teacher education structure curricula discussed.
