Abstract

This study aims to analyze differences in digital literacy according to demographic characteristics among university professors and students, and between the two groups. An online digital literacy assessment was conducted through the teaching and learning center websites of universities located in Seoul, Incheon, and Chungcheong provinces. A total of 1,308 university students and 102 professors participated in the study. Data analysis was performed using t-tests and ANOVA with SPSS Ver. 23. The findings revealed statistically significant differences in digital literacy total scores based on gender, academic field, and years of service in teaching for professors, except for rank. For students, significant differences were observed based on gender, grade level, academic major, and birth year. Professors demonstrated higher overall digital literacy, including competencies in adapting to software-centric societies and using SNS for collaboration, compared to students. However, students scored higher than professors in basic office tool proficiency.

본 연구는 디지털 리터러시가 대학 교수자와 학습자의 인구통계학적 특성에 따라 그리고 그들 간에 어떤 차이가 있는지를 분석함으로써 디지털 리터러시 함양 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 서울, 인천, 충청도에 소재한 대학생 1,308명과 교수 102명을 대상으로 대학별 교수학습센터 홈페이지를 통해 디지털 리터러시 온라인 검사를 실시하고, SPSS Ver. 23을 사용하여 t 검증 및 ANOVA 분석을 수행하였다. 대학 교수자의 경우 직급을 제외한 성별과 전공계열, 그리고 교육경력에 따라 디지털 리터러시 총합에서 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대학 학습자의 경우, 성별, 학년과 전공, 출생 시기에 따라 디지털 리터러시 총합에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대학의 교수자는 학습자보다 디지털 리터러시 총합과 소프트웨어 중심 사회 적응능력 및 SNS 활용 및 협업능력이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 학습자는 기본업무 활용능력이 교수자보다 높은 것으로 나타났다.
