The Influence of Digital Information Literacy on Student Learning Outcomes

Abstract

Digital information literacy is the ability of a person (student) to access relevant and digitally sourced information, organize data, analyze, criticize, and disseminate data, use data to solve problems, and communicate data effectively and efficiently. Digital information literacy is an important competency and learning and is needed for personal and professional life. However, empirical analysis regarding its effect on learning outcomes is not widely known. This research aims to analyze the influence of digital information literacy on learning outcomes. This research applies a quantitative approach and is an ex post facto type of research. Participants in this research were 42 students who took the Animal Ecology course in the 2022/2023 academic year, in the Biology Science Education Department, Tarbiyah and Teacher Training Faculty, Mataram State Islamic University. Digital information data literacy is collected using a questionnaire while learning outcomes are measured using tests. The data was analyzed inferentially through a simple regression test with the help of SPSS version 22. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant linear relationship between digital information literacy and learning outcomes (sig. = 0.197). The residual distribution between the known variables is digital information literacy and normal learning outcomes (sig. 0.076 > 0.05). Regression analysis shows that there is a significant influence of digital information literacy on learning outcomes (sig. = 0.05) with an F value of 3.96.
