Digital Device Ownership, Digital Literacy and Information Technology Learning Self-Efficacy of Junior High School Students

Abstract

The study focused on junior high school students' digital ownership, digital literacy, and information technology learning self-efficacy. It employed a descriptive survey research design and selected 70 JHS 3 pupils from Ayifua St. Mary’s Anglican Basic School using simple random sampling. Data collection was through questionnaires, and analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics like frequency counts, percentages, means, standard deviations, multiple regression analysis, and independent samples t-test. Findings indicated a moderately high level of information technology learning self-efficacy among students, limited digital device ownership except for flash drives, moderate digital literacy skills, and a positive but moderate relationship between digital ownership, literacy, and self-efficacy. Recommendations included providing ICT facilities and training for teachers to integrate modern technology effectively
