This study
aimed to investigate the attitudes towards e-learning and digital literacy
skills of prospective teachers (N =
47) enrolled in the Department of Computer Education and Instructional
Technology at a state university in Turkey. The study also investigated whether
these variables vary in terms of gender and prior e-learning experience as well
as the potential relationship between their attitudes and their digital
literacy skills. Adopting a quasi-experimental pre-posttest design with an
experimental group, this study sought to discover the effects of a five-week
treatment on prospective teachers’ digital literacy skills and attitudes toward
e-learning. The data for the study came from two data collection tools namely, Attitudes
towards E-learning Scale (Haznedar & Baran, 2012) and Digital Literacy
Scale (Ng, 2012). Findings indicated the effectiveness of the treatment on the
participants’ attitudes towards e-learning platforms. Furthermore, the findings
of the regression tests demonstrated that tendency is one of the most
significant predictors of digital literacy skills.
