Abstract

In Indonesia, there is a significant increase on the number of new students in the vocational education. This significant increase demands improvement in the skills possessed by students, including digital literacy skills. This study aims to map the digital literacy skills of vocational study program students based on their self-assessment, which can be a starting point for developing their digital literacy. In accordance with the main problem and research objectives, this research is a descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected by distributing online questionnaire to students of two vocational study programs in a public university in Bali: D3 English and D3 Visual Communication Design Study Programs. There were 73 students responded to the questionnaire. Data triangulation was conducted by doing semi-structured interviews to volunteered students. The findings revealed that students in both study programs are not necessarily capable of all digital skills especially those skills they do not use very much in learning. Their attitude towards the use of digital technology is generally positive, and the most prominent factor that influences the use of digital technology to both study program students is resources/facilities. Implications for the education authorities were described, and finally, limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
