Article - Students’ digital technology attitude, literacy and self-efficacy and their effect on online learning engagement. Volume 39, Isu 3, Halaman 930–943
This study utilised students’ online engagement, digital technology attitude, digital
literacy, and self-efficacy theories to develop and test a model connecting these fac-
tors within a regional university in Australia. A field survey collected data from 110
first-year students. AMOS 28 was employed for measurement and structural model
path analysis. The study initially examined the impact of students’ attitudes and digi-
tal literacy on their self-efficacy. Subsequently, the effects of self-efficacy on five
dimensions of online engagement were assessed: social, collaborative, cognitive,
behavioural, and emotional. The findings indicated that positive student attitudes
and digital literacy significantly contributed to self-efficacy, which, in turn, positively
affected the engagement dimensions. This suggests that when designing and facili-
tating online, blended, or technology-enhanced courses in higher education, educa-
tors should pay attention to various elements of engagement. The study highlights
the importance of considering students’ attitudes and digital literacy in fostering
self-efficacy and enhancing online learning engagements. Further research and impli-
cations for future studies are also recommended.
