Abstract

The absence of a dedicated instrument for assessing the digital literacy of students in the Mandarin Language Educational Program prompted the research team to develop the "Digital Literacy"Shùzì sùy?ng) instrument. Given the significance of digital literacy in the contemporary 5.0 era and the lack of a suitable tool, this research addresses the gap by introducing a comprehensive instrument. The instrument was validated by two expert validators, comprising four dimensions-social-emotional, cognitive, technical, and attitudinal. Subsequent limited testing assessed the validity and reliability of formulated question items. The validity test confirmed the instrument's appropriateness using a Likert scale with four answer categories. Results from testing the digital literacy of Mandarin language education students further validated the instrument, supported by calculated R-values surpassing the r-table value. A reliability test, with a Cronbach's Alpha value exceeding 0.6, attests to the questionnaire's consistency and reliability in measurement. © 2024 Seventh Sense Research Group®.
