Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of digital literacy level of individuals studying at the Faculty of Sport Sciences on their e-learning attitude. The study group of the research consists of a total of 203 participants studying at the Faculty of Sport Sciences of a public university in the 2021-2022 academic year. The research was based on the relational screening model. Personal information form and Digital Literacy and Attitude Scales towards E-Learning were used as data collection tools in the study. In the process of data analysis, Parametric tests were used as a result of the data set meeting the normal distribution parameters. When the research results are examined; It can be stated that the digital literacy levels of the participants are slightly above the average and their e-learning attitudes are at an average level. It was determined that the e-learning attitude and digital literacy levels did not differ statistically according to the gender variable, and according to the athlete license variable, the e-learning attitudes of the participants were higher in favor of those with a license. Another finding obtained from the research is that the digital literacy feature has the power to explain the e-learning attitude by 17%. Therefore, it can be stated that the digital literacy feature is also important in order to improve the e-learning attitude of individuals.
