Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the level of digital literacy among aspiring automotive engineering educators. Given the intricate nature of the subject matter, which often necessitates disassembling components for study, it becomes crucial for students to excel in digital literacy. The research, conducted over a week from November 1 to November 7, 2023, employed a descriptive approach with 80 undergraduate automotive engineering education students as participants. Utilizing a questionnaire as the data collection tool, the analysis applied descriptive statistics and presented the findings in tabular form. The results indicate a generally high level of digital literacy among student automotive engineering teacher candidates, particularly in collaboration, communication, cultural understanding, and digital technology. Proficiency in identifying information aspects is also notable. However, areas such as e-safety, critical thinking, creativity, and functional skills, as well as aspects beyond the immediate scope, exhibit lower levels of proficiency.
