“…Both coefficients of variables representing rural area (α a_Location [1] = 32.08) and urban area (α a_Location [2] = 32.15) are not very different from each other. Thus, they suggest that those students are digitally resilient, regardless of their location.…”

“…Digital literacy is one of the driving forces in the development of the digital age, as well as a critical pillar of general education. To promote Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG) -Quality Education, developed countries have introduced digital literacy into general education so that the majority of their citizens become an active element of the digital economy [1]. However, in less developed nations, the issue is neglected, while the context here is more complicated.…”

As a generation of ‘digital natives,’ secondary students who were born from 2002 to 2010 have various approaches to acquiring digital knowledge. Digital literacy and resilience are crucial for them to navigate the digital world as much as the real world; however, these remain under-researched subjects, especially in developing countries. In Vietnam, the education system has put considerable effort into teaching students these skills to promote quality education as part of the United Nations-defined Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4). This issue has proven especially salient amid the COVID−19 pandemic lockdowns, which had obliged most schools to switch to online forms of teaching. This study, which utilizes a dataset of 1061 Vietnamese students taken from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)’s “Digital Kids Asia Pacific (DKAP)” project, employs Bayesian statistics to explore the relationship between the students’ background and their digital abilities. Results show that economic status and parents’ level of education are positively correlated with digital literacy. Students from urban schools have only a slightly higher level of digital literacy than their rural counterparts, suggesting that school location may not be a defining explanatory element in the variation of digital literacy and resilience among Vietnamese students. Students’ digital literacy and, especially resilience, also have associations with their gender. Moreover, as students are digitally literate, they are more likely to be digitally resilient. Following SDG4, i.e., Quality Education, it is advisable for schools, and especially parents, to seriously invest in creating a safe, educational environment to enhance digital literacy among students.

“…On the other hand, developing a learning culture as a framework for growing teaching skills is highly important (Chick, et al, 2018). This is because the digital success of individuals is believed to be easily achieved through learning and increasing personal digital literacy (Urbancikova, 2017). Meanwhile, in this paper, digital literacy is interpreted as the response of students to the innovations in digital technology that supports their learning activities, which is related to other internal elements such as cultural, cognitive, creative thinking, communicative, self-confidence, creativity, critical attitude, adaptive as well as 2018; Nurrohmah, 2018;SiRicord, 2018;Nurdin, 2019).…”

“…They also admit that the visual Sparkol videoscribe report is more interesting than the written or chart models. However, the problem stemming from the digital and economic literacy concept is still being studied distinctively, (Al-Kalai, 2004;Igun, 2011;Eshet, 2012;Urbancikova, 2017;Chetty, 2018;McDougall, 2018). Therefore in this paper, the incorporation of digital economic literacy concept in the state of the art can be considered as a more meaningful novelty.…”

The purpose of this research is to increase students’ economic learning interest and outcomes using digital literacy technology, such as Sparkol Video Scribe (SVc) and media chart (MC). This is an experimental research comprising of the control and treatment classes with international trade discussed as a sub-topic of the economic material. The learning activities method used the ADDIE model. While, the research subjects are high school students in Central Java. N-Gain model was used to determine the most effective level of analysis as well as the modification and path analysis. The main results showed that the application of SVc and MC learning models can attract students' interest in economic learning well. Although the SVc application was not effective in improving their overall performance, the MC literacy model was still effective. However, students' interest in learning about the second model has not been able to improve its performance significantly. The results further showed that the digital literacy method was not always able to improve student learning and performance effectively and efficiently.

“…The growth economy hypothetically predicts that investment in ICT drives economic growth. However, several empirical studies on the impact of ICT have produced mixed results, being partly influenced by reasonably differing research methodologies with a focus on different countries (Urbančíková et al, 2017).…”

Este artigo investiga, através de um conjunto de dados qualitativos e quantitativos, a dependência dos trabalhadores dos sectores formal e informal das fontes de conhecimento digital e não digital e a sua utilidade nos processos de planeamento da reforma. Os resultados mostram que os trabalhadores utilizam o hibridismo de artefactos de aprendizagem digital e não digital na obtenção de informações para o planeamento da reforma. Os utilizadores de conhecimento não digital podem ser designados como socialmente excluídos da utilização do espaço digital. Estes são perspetivados através do enfoque nas utilizações, no funcionamento, na capacidade e na agência. A literacia digital facilita o acesso às informações necessárias para o planeamento da reforma através de media sofisticados e outros conhecimentos e competências associadas, enquanto o planeamento da reforma oferece oportunidades para a obtenção de informações necessárias para a inclusão social. O teste V de Cramer de 0,705 indica uma associação forte entre as fontes de informação do planeamento da reforma e a utilidade. Comparativamente, os trabalhadores do sector formal estão mais expostos a, e/ou são usuários de artefactos e literacia digital devido à natureza do seu trabalho e assim são mais digitalmente instruídos o que tem implicações em termos de desigualdade. Isto pode ter consequências no aumento das disparidades na preparação da reforma. A intensificação do planeamento da reforma pode ser auxiliada no futuro através de um maior conhecimento digital, resgatando assim grupos sociais relativamente invisíveis, nomeadamente os trabalhados do sector informal na era digital.
