Abstract:

 Digital intelligence DQ is expressed as a comprehensive set of technical, cognitive, meta-cognitive, and socio-emotional competencies based on universal moral values that enable individuals to face the challenges of digital life and adapt to its expectations. These competencies that make up digital intelligence are necessary for individuals to use digital technology responsibly, consciously, and successfully in this age where digital technologies are becoming more and more widespread. In order to determine the current status of individuals regarding these competencies and the areas that need to be supported, measurement and evaluation tools are needed. In this study, it was aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the Digital Intelligence Adult Scale developed based on this need. For this purpose, the general survey model was used in the study. The study group of the research consists of 809 participants aged 18 and over. The data were collected face-to-face and online via Google Forms. As a result of the scope and validity analyses performed on the collected data, the Digital Intelligence Adult Scale consisting of a total of 47 items with eight dimensions was obtained. The total variance explained by the eight-dimensional structure determined for the Digital Intelligence Adult Scale was found to be 69.18. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, CFI value was 0.98, NFI value was 0.96 and NNFI value was 0.98. In determining the reliability, the reliability coefficient was calculated, and Cronbachs alpha value was found to be 0.96. As a result, it was accepted that the Digital Intelligence Adult Scale is a valid and reliable assessment tool.

 Dijital zeka DQ, bireylerin dijital yaşamın zorluklarıyla yüzleşmelerini ve beklentilerine uyum göstermelerini sağlayan evrensel ahlaki değerlere dayanan kapsamlı bir teknik, bilişsel, meta-bilişsel ve sosyo-duygusal yeterlilikler seti olarak ifade edilir. Dijital zekâyı oluşturan bu yeterlilikler, dijital teknolojilerin giderek daha da yaygınlaştığı bu çağda bireylerin dijital teknolojiyi sorumlu, bilinçli ve başarılı bir şekilde kullanabilmeleri açısından gereklidir. Bireylerin bu yeterliliklere ilişkin mevcut durumlarının ve desteklenmesi gereken alanlarının tespiti için ise ölçme ve değerlendirme araçlarına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada bu ihtiyaçtan yola çıkarak geliştirilen Dijital Zeka Yetişkin Ölçeğinin geçerlik ve güvenirliliğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışmada genel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 18 yaş ve üzeri 809 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Veriler yüz yüze ve Google Form aracılığı ile çevrimiçi toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler üzerinde yapılan kapsam ve geçerlik analizleri sonucunda sekiz boyutlu toplam 48 maddeden oluşan Dijital Zekâ Yetişkin Ölçeği elde edilmiştir. Dijital Zekâ Yetişkin Ölçeği için belirlenen sekiz boyutlu yapının açıkladığı toplam varyans oranı ise  69.18 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda CFI değeri 0.98; NFI değeri 0.96 ve NNFI değeri 0,98 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Güvenirliğin belirlenmesinde güvenirlik katsayısı hesaplanmış ve Cronbach alfa değeri 0.96 olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuçta Dijital Zeka Yetişkin Ölçeğinin geçerli ve güvenilir bir değerlendirme aracı olduğu kabul edilmiştir.
