Abstract

Digital literacy is one of the skills that students must learn in digital era. Digital literacy requires students to develop various skills such as the ability to find and create content, solve problems, and communicate online effectively. However, the digital literacy of students in Indonesia is still relatively low. It can be seen that students are only digitally literate. One of the factors that influence digital literacy is gender differences. This study aimed to determine students’ digital literacy skills based on gender. This research was a descriptive research with a survey method. The instrument used was a test developed based on digital literacy aspects and indicators previously modified by researchers. The sample of this research was 92 students from MTsN 1 Blitar City. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially with an independent sample t-test using SPSS 21. Results showed that the digital literacy profile of students was still low, in terms of gender, male students were slightly superior to female students. However, this difference was not significant based on the t-test hypothesis, which was there was no significant difference of digital literacy level between male and female students. It is recommended for further research to be based on geographical location of the school and develop solutions to overcome low digital literacy, such as development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based media.
