Abstract

The Korea 2022 National Curriculum emphasize language literacy and digital literacy in preparation for the digital transition and increased social uncertainty. The purpose of the new curriculum is in line with the international community’s emphasis on digital media literacy. In the future when technology such as ChatGPT has become widespread, literacy based on digital technology will become increasingly important. Therefore, this study empirically explores the current middle and high school students’ perceptions of the components of digital media literacy. In the “Korean Language”, “Common Korean Language 1, 2,” and “Media Communication” segments of the 2022 revised Korean Language Curriculum. In addition, it is intended to provide basic information for digital media literacy classes considering the level and characteristics of learners.
 A test tool with 16 cognitive components and 10 affective components of digital media literacy was created, and students’ responses were collected. The overall average value was 3.5 points or higher, indicating a positive perception of digital media literacy.
 This analysis established the following. First, classes and evaluations involving digital familiarity are needed. Second, digital media challenges with clear goals and objectives should be presented. Third, classes and evaluations of the critical judgement of information are needed. Fourth, sufficient time should be provided for information sharing and communication through digital media.
