Abstract

This research aims to develop a digital literacy barriers (DILBAR) scale. The survey method was used. A total of 278 participants, including 177 students and 101 faculty members from Akdeniz University, Bartın University and Bayburt University in Turkey, were included in the study. According to the factor analysis results KMO value of DILBAR scale is 0.905 and the value of Barlett’s test is 1023,211 (Df= 55, p=0,000). The DILBAR scale can be used in single and multidimensional forms. The scale explains 60,113% of the total variance. In the analysis results for DILBAR scale, it is seen that the factor loads vary between 0.453-0.819 and the item-total correlations vary between 0.523-0.752. The correlation coefficient between the two halves of the scale was 0.769. The Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient of DILBAR scale is 0.859. The scale consists of 11 items. In line with these results, the scale can be said to be valid and reliable. After its validity and reliability were ensured, confirmatory factor analysis of the DILBAR scale was performed with the AMOS program. (Chi-square = 59,882, Df = 40, GFI = 0,965, CFI = 0,980, RMSEA = 0.042). As the results suggest, the scale is valid and reliable and can be applied to university students and faculty members.
