Study on the Acquisition of Digital Skills by Secondary School Students and the Challenges of Digital Literacy
Abstract
Digital communication technology is an emerging field that is widely used by academic user communities to improve their skills in their areas of interest and effectively acquire digital information. Similarly, having well-informed, qualified and globally minded employees is critical to the success of any organization. In this situation, the librarian has her two tasks. To prepare readers for the challenges and opportunities posed by digital globalization and to be the leading supplier of well-educated intellectual capital (knowledge workers). In this context, the COVID-19 pandemic has rocked the world in unimaginable ways. Neither the world nor educational institutions were prepared for the lightning-fast transition to online platforms. Understand the status and purpose of student digital literacy and learn about the different skills secondary school students have acquired using digital devices. Paper also provides knowledge about the challenges students face when using digital technology, enabling teachers and librarians to improve their careers and lives.
