A Study on Development and Validation of Digital Literacy Measument Tool

The purpose of this study was to develop a digital literacy measurement tool to verify reliability and validity. The subjects of this study were 285 university students in Gyeonggi-do, and the reliability and validity of the measurement tools were tested. As a result of exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach‘ s α coefficient, Pearson correlation coefficient and t-test, it was proved that the reliability and validity of the digital literacy measurement tool composed of 5 sub-factors (total 15 items) were appropriate. The digital literacy measurement tool developed in this study is expected to be used as an effective indicator to accurately grasp the digital literacy level of all university students including SW non-majors and to explore the effectiveness of SW convergence education provided by universities. Furthermore, based on the results of this study, development of SW convergence education program based on reinforcement of SW learning motivation and participation promotion for all students considering psychological factors is proposed.
