This study aimed to assess the degree of digital literacy among Industrial
Education students from the Cuenca Extension Program of the Technological
University of the Philippines and analyze the impact of demographic profiles.
For this purpose, 200 students from the three specializations which are
industrial arts, home economics, and information and communications
technology, were given structured questionnaires under a quantitative
descriptive-correlational framework. The findings revealed that the majority of
students demonstrated exceptional digital literacy skills, particularly in content
creation and management as well as in information and communication
alongside safety and security. Participants' year level, specialization, age, and
sex were noted to have significant differences in digital literacy. These findings
emphasize that schools today require digital literacy and indicate that students'
digital competencies are greatly influenced by their sociological factors such as
technology exposure, gender, and academic field. To enhance students’
attainment of technology skills, the report proposes the establishment of
specialization-based instructional design courses in digital literacy and
certification programs. Furthermore, it calls for targeted outreach to older and
male students to improve the overall average digital competency. To better
illustrate the gaps in students’ digital literacy, further research ought to consider
factors like internet access and educational background.
