DIGITAL LITERACY

This study explores the relationship between digital literacy and academic performance among tertiary education students. As education becomes increasingly digitised, students are epected to navigate online learning platforms, conduct digital research, collaborate virtually, and utilises various technological tools. However, disparities in digital literacy levels may affect students’ ability to engage effectively with academic materials, leading to variations in performance. This research investigates how digital literacy skills—such as information retrieval, digital communication, content creation, and problem-solving—correlate with students’ academic success. A quantitative research design was employed, with data collected through structured questionnaires distributed to tertiary education students. Stratified random sampling was used to ensure diverse representation across different institutions, disciplines, and demographic groups. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression modelling to determine the extent to which digital literacy influences academic performance. Findings indicate a strong positive correlation between digital literacy and academic performance, with students possessing higher digital literacy skills achieving better grades and engaging more effectively in academic tasks. The study highlights key areas where digital literacy impacts learning, as well as challenges faced by students with lower digital proficiency. The results emphasise the need for educational institutions to integrate digital literacy training into their curricula, provide access to digital tools, and implement policies that bridge the digital divide. By fostering strong digital literacy skills, universities can enhance student engagement, improve learning outcomes, and better prepare graduates for an increasingly digital world. This study contributes to the growing body of research on digital education and offers practical recommendations for educators, policymakers, and students to optimise the role of technology in academic success

This study examined Digital Literacy among Mathematics Students in Egor Local Government Area. The background of the study highlighted the growing integration of digital technology in education and the need for mathematics students to possess adequate digital skills to enhance learning, access instructional materials, and engage
effectively with modern mathematical tools. The problem was traced to low digital competence, limited access to digital devices, insufficient teacher support, and infrastructural challenges. The study was guided by four research questions focusing on students’ digital literacy levels, awareness of digital tools, factors influencing digital literacy, and challenges encountered. The study emphasized the significance of digital literacy for improved mathematical understanding, students’ performance, and educational development within Egor Local Government Area

This study investigates the influence of digital literacy in improving the productivity, efficiency, and problem-solving abilities of African industrial workers. It investigates the fundamental digital abilities necessary in various industries, the influence of digital literacy on worker performance, the difficulties encountered in closing the digital skills gap, and ideas for improving digital literacy training. Using a quantitative research design, data was collected from 50 respondents via a standardized questionnaire and evaluated using mean scores and standard deviations. The findings emphasize the relevance of digital literacy in boosting workplace effectiveness, while also addressing challenges such as low resource availability and insufficient training program
