In today's digital world, being digitally literate is essential for university students to
thrive both academically and socially. This research examines the level of digital literacy skills
among 4th semester students at UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta, using Ng’s (2012) framework,
which includes the technical, cognitive, and socio-emotional aspects. A descriptive quantitative
approach was used, involving a sample of 120 students from different faculties. Data were gathered
through a validated questionnaire and examined using descriptive statistics. The results indicate
that students have a high level of technical literacy (M = 4. 12), a moderate level of cognitive
literacy (M = 3. 41), and a medium-high level of socio-emotional literacy (M = 3. 78). Although
many students feel confident in using digital resources (Kirschner and De Bruyckere, 2017), there
are still deficiencies in areas such as critical evaluation and digital ethics (List, 2019; Eshet-
Alkalai, 2004). The study suggests that universities should incorporate digital literacy training into
their curricula to better equip students with the necessary skills for the 21st century (UNESCO,
2018).
