Abstract
In the context of "information pollution on the internet," the paper discusses the
difficulties students have in finding credible information ("information pollution on the
internet"). Students struggle to organize search queries, rationalize search results, and
exhibit a critical attitude about the resource, according to studies conducted in various
nations. As a result, inaccurate information about the subject of training is used. According
to research, young people differ significantly in their capacity to judge the degree of
dependability of internet information (gender trait; "self-efficacy", professional culture).
The goal of this study is to examine how students in grades 10-11 perform when
searching for information on the internet, including which sites they visit and how they
justify their autonomous choice of an online source of information. Determine the amount
of ability pupils have in determining the dependability of internet material. Correlating the
content of the selected levels and students' replies based on the dependability of information
on the marked internet sites and comments is used to assess students' abilities to determine
the credibility of internet information.
The results of the study allowed students to be divided into three groups of Internet users.
Those who were the most successful in completing the task were in the minority. And after
the study, we can say that we have received an answer to the question posed.
