Abstract
Digital literacy entails the ability of the students to use, analyze, evaluate, and create technology driven media and materials. The digital literacies of the senior high school students are sustained and enhanced through the varied engaging activities designed by their teachers. It is expected that learners acquire better learning when how they are taught the way they learn.
The study focuses on the level of digital literacy skills of the senior high school students who come from the selected secondary schools which are feeder schools of ASIST. A descriptive-correlational research designs were employed. Three instruments were used to gather the data. These describe the profile of the respondents, revealed the extent of the practice of classroom activities along various teaching-learning strategies and evaluated the digital literacy skills of students. The instruments subjected for validation by the selected school principals and master teachers received high reliability results. A letter of intent was personally delivered to the school heads of the feeder schools for the schedule of data gathering. Frequency count, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were used as statistical tools to answer the problem.
Most of the respondents’ access google and use Facebook and Messenger. They assessed that classroom activities along knowledge construction, reflective and collaborative learning approaches are very highly practiced. They were described to have thorough knowledge and skills in their information, media, and technology literacies. Their access of wattpads and the number of social media apps, being used got negative correlations with how they construct knowledge. Furthermore, knowledge construction and reflective learning approaches made a negative impact the students’ information and media literacy skills. Further, there was a positive effect on the students’ media literacy made by the collaborative activities employed in the classrooms.
