A study was conducted to develop Internet Literacy Questionnaire(ILQ) to investigate the levels of user's knowledge on Internet literacy. ILQ was found to be reliable (showed an internal consistency) with Cronbach's alpha of 0.93(p-value<0.001) and valid with test-retest correlation of 0.90 (p-value<0.001). ILQ, composed of 21 questions, was developed to test four areas of user's Internet literacy: general experience on Internet, advanced experience on Internet, knowledge on Internet program languages, and Internet application software programs. These four factors represented 69.2% of the knowledge of all areas of Internet literacy. As a result, ILQ could be used to differentiate the levels of user's Internet knowledge as beginners, intermediates, and experts before any Internet application programs are to be developed.

The Internet and digital devices have become an important part of life among the youth (age 17-24) of today. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, Internet use in youth increased by 19.3%, with an average usage of 11.6 hours per day. Youths gain a lot of opportunities from the Internet, but, it also exposes them to various risks. Therefore, there is a need for measures to make the Internet a safe place for youth, in a balanced way that addresses opportunities alongside risks, through digital literacy. It is expected that through digital literacy, youths can take advantage of online opportunities, without being subjected to any dangers. This study aims to examine the relationship between the digital literacy, online opportunities, and online risks of young people, while at the same time examining the influence of digital literacy on those online risks and opportunities. This study employed the quantitative study approach (explanatory study). Cross-sectional surveys and structured questionnaires were used for data collection. The results showed that youth's (age 17-24) monthly expenses, age, and education levels were important factors for digital literacy and online opportunity; also, the digital literacy variable plays an important role and affects online risk and opportunity positively. Digital literacy has a greater influence on online opportunities than it has on online risks. As youths spend more time online, they become more digitally literate, which can enable them to benefit more from new technology. Unfortunately, those with greater digital literacy cannot find a way to avoid risks while seeking opportunities.

Internet privacy is named as one of the major barriers to the expansion and further development of e-commerce. This study is to identify the antecedents to Internet privacy concerns, to investigate the relationship of the antecedents and the perceived trust and to validate Internet privacy's effect on the perceived trust. A conceptual model which identifies Internet literacy and perceived vulnerability as antecedents to Internet privacy concern is proposed and tested based on the sample of 276 Internet users. Empirical findings show that Internet literacy affect Internet privacy concern negatively while perceived vulnerability affect positively. Also perceived vulnerability's effect on and privacy concern's effect on perceived trust has both directional negative support. Implications and further research agenda are provided with the limitation of the study.

본 연구에서는 미국 공공도서관의 인터넷서비스 이용자들의 서비스 이용 수준 및 현황에 대하여 살펴봄으로써 공공도서관에서의 인터넷서비스가 어느 단계에 이르고 있는지를 검토하였으며 인터넷 정보이용능력 지도에 대한 필요성을 논의하였다. 미국 중서부에 위치한 4개 공공도서관의 인터넷서비스 이용자를 설문 조사하여 수집된 386부의 설문지를 분석한 결과 인터넷 경험이 적은 인터넷 초보자의 서비스 만족도가 인터넷을 다년간 사용한 중급이나 고급 수준의 이용자에 비해 월등히 높은 것으로 나타났으며 인터넷 사용 강좌를 택한 경험이 있는 이용자의 서비스 만족도가 인터넷 사용 강좌를 한번도 택하지 않은 경우보다 높은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 미국 공공도서관의 인터넷서비스 이용자를 위한 정보 이용능력 지도의 개발을 위한 방향과 지침이 제시되었다.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of digital literacy, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use on Internet users' online purchase intention in Palestine, as well to examine the moderating effect of Internet users' socioeconomic characteristics - age and gender on the relationships between digital literacy and online purchase intention. An extended technology acceptance model (TAM) by including digital literacy was applied in this research. The study applied a quantitative method, where 400 respondents participated in a questionnaire. The collected data was tested against the research framework using the partial least squares (SEM-PLS) method. The findings indicate that digital literacy has a significant effect on perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and online purchase intention; there is a significant effect of perceived usefulness on online purchase intention, but not perceived ease of use. On the other hand, socioeconomic variables demonstrate that neither age nor gender moderates the relationship between digital literacy and online purchase intention; in short, age and gender do not condition the intention of the Internet user.

지금까지의 인터넷 관련 교육은 주로 '정보통신윤리'와 '인터넷 중독'에 초점을 맞추고 있어 인터넷미디어 시대를 위한 '인터넷미디어'의 창의적이고, 바람직한 이해와 활용을 이끌어내기 위한 '인터넷 리터러시 교육'의 필요성이 사회적으로 제기되고 있다. 미디어 교육과 관련된 기존 연구에서 가장 취약점은 '교육성과' 에 대한 분석이 전혀 이루어지지 않고 있다는데 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전국 중학교 학생 708명을 대상으로 진행한 인터넷미디어 교육에 따른 인터넷에 대한 감성적 태도, 매체 인식, 인터넷 이용효능감, 인터넷미디어 능력, 인터넷 윤리의식의 변화를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 인터넷 이용효능감과 인터넷미디어 능력은 큰 변화를 나타냈으며 아울러 수업을 통해 자연스럽게 인터넷윤리 의식도 높아지는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 인터넷미디어 교육 프로그램의 실질적 성과를 입증하였다는데 의의를 가질 수 있다.

This study developed digital literacy instruments and tested their effectiveness on college students' perceptions of AI technologies. In creating a new digital literacy test tool, we reviewed the concept and scale of digital literacy based on previous studies that identified the characteristics and measurement of AI literacy. We developed 23 preliminary questions for our research instrument and used a quantitative approach to survey 318 undergraduates. After conducting exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, we found that digital literacy in the age of AI had four ability sub-factors: critical understanding, artificial intelligence social impact recognition, artificial intelligence technology utilization, and ethical behavior. Then we tested the sub-factors' predictive powers on the perception of AI's usefulness and ease of use. The regression result shows that the most common powerful predictor of the usefulness and ease of use of AI technology was the ability to use AI technology. This finding implies that for college students, the ability to use various tools based on AI technology is an essential competency in the AI era.

Consumer innovativeness plays a vital role in explaining consumer dynamics, such as adoption, usage, and behavioral intention, in the new world of disruptive online media. This empirical study aimed to examine the importance of consumer innovativeness and digital literacy in the adoption and expansion of new technology-based media services, focusing on OTT services. Extending the theory of adoption of new technologies by innovators to new media environment centered on OTT services, it examines the influence of the four dimensions of motivated consumer innovativeness on OTT service usage. The Korea Media Panel Data of 2019, where overall ICT usage and media consumption of a broad panel of respondents was collected, was used for the analysis. From the data of 10,864 respondents, 4,031 (37.1%) were found to have experience in using OTT services. To clarify the mediating effect of digital literacy on the correlations between cognitive innovativeness of consumers and their use of OTT services, Process Macro Model 4 was used. The bootstrap method was applied to reveal that all four dimensions of consumer innovativeness have a significant indirect effect on new media usage through digital literacy, thus indicating how digital literacy plays an important role in the spread of new digital services in addition to consumer innovativeness. The findings are important in that they can help in the efforts to introduce new technologies to the public and educate them to improve their digital literacy so that they can enjoy the complete experience of using these new digital products.

본 연구의 목적은 노인 세대의 e-헬스 리터러시 수준과 주관적인 건강상태 및 건강추구행동 간의 관련성을 파악하는 것이다. 연구대상은 경로당과 노인복지관을 이용하는 노인 중 최근 1개월 이내 1회 이상 인터넷을 이용하는 102명을 편의표집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 25.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 일주일 평균 인터넷 이용 시간은 '3시간 미만'이 54.9%로 가장 많았다. 지역사회 노인의 e-헬스 리터러시(r=.349, p<.001)와 주관적 건강상태(r=.466, p<.001)는 건강추구행동과 양의 상관관계가 있으며, 대상자의 성별(β=.22, p=.012), 질병유형(β=.23, p=.013), 주관적 건강상태(β=.38, p<.001)가 건강추구행동에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 인터넷을 사용하는 지역사회 노인의 e-헬스 리터러시 및 주관적 건강 수준을 높이고 건강추구행동 향상에 기여하기 위한 중재 프로그램 개발이 필요함을 알 수 있다.
