Level of Digital Literacy Among Pre-service English Teachers

The aim of this study is to measure the digital literacy levels of pre-service English teachers at a Turkish University. A quantitative research method using a survey model was applied in this research. The Digital Literacy Scale (DOYÖ) was administered to 255 participants selected using a simple random sampling method. The study examined whether the digital literacy scores of university students and graduates differed according to participants’ gender and year. Additionally, the study investigated whether there was a significant relationship between these variables and the DOYÖ scores. The data were analyzed using various statistical tests, including descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, and one-way ANOVA. The results indicated that while there are some differences in certain digital literacy skills between genders, most differences are not statistically significant. The ANOVA results reveal that daily use and social skills differ significantly across years, while ethical responsibility, general knowledge, professional skills, and privacy do not show significant differences.
