- Assessment of the Effect of Digital Literacy on University Students: A Case Study of St John’s University of Tanzania.(SJUT Press, 2024-09-30) Lilian Didas MushiThis research investigates the impact of digital literacy on university students' academic performance, critical thinking, and career readiness in Dodoma, Tanzania, with suggested theories which are the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Digital Literacy Framework. The study aims to explore how students' perceptions of digital tools influence their academic engagement and effectiveness, identify specific challenges faced in digital environments, and provide recommendations for enhancing digital literacy education. Data were collected from 100 participants through interviews and questionnaires. Findings indicate that a majority of students believe high digital literacy positively affects academic success, though some argue it is not the only determinant. The research identifies key challenges such as navigating online learning platforms and accessing digital resources. Recommendations include implementing targeted digital literacy training and improving digital infrastructure at universities. Additionally, the study offers policy suggestions for integrating digital literacy into the national curriculum to bridge the digital divide and foster a digitally competent workforce in Tanzania.
