Özet:

 

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate digital literacy among undergraduate students. 
Materials and Methods: The research sample consisted of 320 undergraduate students enrolled at the departments of nursing and emergency aid and disaster management in the 2020-2021 academic year. We collected the data using the Digital Literacy Scale, the Online Social Support Scale, and the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale. In the data analysis, we considered percentiles and means and performed one-way analysis of variance, pearson correlation and post hoc tests (Tukey HSD and Games Howell multiple comparison test). All statistical analyses were performed on SPSS 25.0, and p<0.05 was considered significant. 
Results:  The results revealed the mean digital literacy score of the participants to be 57.21±16.47. Besides, we found that the participants’ scores on the Digital Literacy Scale and its subscales significantly differed by their year of study, parental educational attainment, the number of electronic devices owned, and perceived social support (p<0.05). Yet, we could not reach a significant association between participants’ academic self-efficacy and digital literacy levels.
Conclusion: Overall, the participating students had an above-average level of digital literacy. Besides, we concluded year of study, parental educational attainment, the number of electronic devices owned, and perceived social support to be linked with digital literacy.
Keywords: Undergraduate, Student, Literacy, Digital literacy.
