Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate, in terms of certain characteristics, the relationship between pre-service teachers' digital literacy levels and their methods for looking up and analyzing information on the internet. During the 2019–2020 academic year, 500 teacher candidates at Necmettin Erbakan University Ahmet Keleşoğlu Faculty of Education were given the Information Search and Interpretation Strategies Scale. A statistical program was utilized to analyze the research data. Gender, grade level, weighted grade averages, daily internet usage, daily social media usage, prior digital literacy education, mother and father education levels, and the most preferred device for Internet access were all identified as a consequence of the statistical analysis. The degree of digital literacy and the methods used to find and analyze information online did not appear to be significantly correlated. The digital literacy levels, information search and interpretation tactics used in the online environment, and the most frequent internet use characteristic of pre-service teachers were found to differ significantly.
