Abstract

This study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the 17-item 3-factors perceivedICT literacy scale in a sample of Turkish undergraduate students. Previous research onmeasuring ICT literacy mostly focused on the technical competence dimension of the ICT use.The current scale not only considers the technical literacy but it also evaluates the informationliteracy. The scale consists of three factors, each of which refers to one dimension of theInformation and Communication Technology (ICT). Data were collected from 284undergraduate students educated at different departments. Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA) using maximum likelihood estimation procedure was applied to test the psychometricproperties of the scale. Results of the CFA indicated that the scale showed acceptable levels ofvalidity. Considering the reliability values, all the subscales and the scale as a whole showedadequate reliability values. The limitations of the scale were discussed and some implicationswere suggested.
