“…A few items on the scale are "I can use the Internet to answer other people's questions in a productive way," and "I can use the Internet to answer my own questions in a productive way." The previous studies have reported the internal consistency of the five subscales in the range of 0.72-0.91, and for the overall scale, CA ranged from 0.91 to 0.95 (Guazzini et al, 2022;_ Izzettin et al, 2019;Kahraman and Yilmaz, 2018). In this study, CA values for each subscale were 0.75, 0.71, 0.82, 0.74, 0.86 and the internal consistency for the entire scale was reported as 0.88.…”

“…Further, these subscales are grouped into three levels of self-efficacy. A few items on the scale are “I can use the Internet to answer other people’s questions in a productive way,” and “I can use the Internet to answer my own questions in a productive way.” The previous studies have reported the internal consistency of the five subscales in the range of 0.72–0.91, and for the overall scale, CA ranged from 0.91 to 0.95 (Guazzini et al. , 2022; İzzettin et al.…”

Purpose Previous studies highlighted a shortage of scale to measure digital citizenship among Indians. Accordingly, this study examined the psychometric properties of Jones and Mitchell’s (2016) digital citizenship scale in the Indian context with the help of two independent studies.Design/methodology/approach In the first study, the factorial validity of the scale was determined using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). In the second study, Cronbach’s alpha (CA) and composite reliability (CR) values checked the internal consistency reliability of the scale. Also, convergent, discriminant and criterion validity were examined.Findings EFA recommended a two-factor structure explaining 58.219% of the total variance. The item loadings varied from 0.540 to 0.793. The Indian version of the scale showed one variation. In the original digital citizenship scale, the seventh statement (“I like to present myself online as someone was making positive choices”) was part of factor 1 (online respect); however, this study suggested that the seventh statement should be included in factor 2 (online civic engagement). In the second study, the acceptable (>0.70) values of CA and CR concluded the internal consistency reliability of the scale. The convergent validity was suggested by average variance explained values (>0.50). In addition, as expected, the Indian version of the digital citizenship scale reported a statistically significant positive correlation with Internet self-efficacy and a considerable negative relationship with cyberbullying. These findings concluded the criterion validity of the scale.Originality/value The Indian version of the digital citizenship scale showed appreciable psychometric properties among Indian students.

“…Therefore, it seems clear that there is a need to continue working on measurement tools focusing on the levels of self-confidence according to gender to design initiatives to develop the digital competence of women workers. As Guzzani et al [65] point out, depending on the tool used, the results show a greater or lesser gender digital divide, and in the case of online tasks, no significant results are obtained.…”

In the current context of increasing digitization, professionals need to be digitally competent. In addition, women’s low participation in the technology field indicates the persistence of a digital gender gap in the economic and social spheres. A key aspect to help reducing digital inequality is the role that the digital competence (DC) plays in the professional development of women, allowing them to enter to a job market still coped by men. The current systematic literature review, following the PRISMA protocol, analyzes the existing definitions of professional DC, the frameworks used to develop it at the workplace, and the gender differences observed. Four main ideas emerge from the review of the 41 selected articles: (1) the need of an enabling professional DC definition to help understand how it operates specifically in professional environments; (2) the expanding role of the DigComp framework to carry out initiatives for assessing, training, developing, advising, or certifying digital competence in professional environments; (3) the identification of seven key dimensions of professional DC; and (4) the need of future studies that go further in the measurement of women’s professional DC, as a response of the lack of data about gender differences in this field. Although the limitations of a systematic literature review, such as publications and database bias, these results are aimed at fostering a shared definition and framework of professional DC that standardizes the measurement and development of this competence, allowing workers, and women in particular, to adapt to the digital transformation, assuring equal access to qualified jobs.

“…Self-efficacy is characterized by commitment to goals, application of learning habits, and learning method adaptation [33]. It is important to note that self-efficacy is not a skill but a belief in an individual's ability [34], and it directly affects internet confidence [35]. This simply means that healthy self-efficacy is able to improve the student's confidence in using the internet.…”

Students are experiencing difficulty with online learning because it requires infrastructure, such as internet access that needs to be purchased. This study examined whether online lectures increase or decrease family/student expenses on education using a qualitative approach. Data on education expenditures were collected by interviewing 736 students at State Islamic University (UIN) Antasari, Indonesia before the COVID-19 pandemic and 761 students during the occurrence. Also, interviews were used to collect data on opportunity costs during the pandemic. The results showed that the student/family average expenditure on education at State Islamic University in Indonesia (PTKIN) before the occurrence was IDR 20,420,708 per year. Meanwhile, during the pandemic, their expenses decreased to an average of IDR 15,788,989 per year, indicating a decline of IDR 4,631,719 or 22.68%.
