Adaptation of the Academic Digital Literacy Scale for College Students: A Validity and Reliability Study

Today's students can also be called "Generation Z", which cannot be separated from their digital life. Generation Z, "digital natives", very comfortable using digital devices in their social media life. Even though students as a whole are comfortable with digital technologies for entertainment, they are still learning how to incorporate digital devices into their academic lives. The aim of the research is to adapt a digital literacy to Indonesian version of student academic digital literacy. Adaptation methods include translation, synthesis, expert com-mittee review, and pretesting. A total of 364 students in the province of East Java, Indonesia, were recruited for this study. Data analysis used confirma-tory factor analysis with M-Plus software. The results showed that the loading factor values ranged from 0.47 to 0.87 and met the minimum criteria, so they could be considered valid. The reliability is indicated by the value alpha = 0.87 and CR = 0.89, which has met the minimum criteria, so it is reliable, while the AVE = 0.74 has met the minimum criteria, so it shows good convergence.
