A Measuring Tool for Assessing Digital Literacy Competence among Mandarin Language Students

Year: 2024

Type: article

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" (数字素养 -Shùzì sùyǎng) 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.
