Understanding of complex biology material requires students' ability to select, process, interpret, and evaluate information from various sources on the internet, so that digital literacy is needed by students. This study aims to find out how students' digital literacy abilities are in biology learning at school. This research is quantitative descriptive. The population in this study were all students of SMA Negeri 11 Makassar, while the research sample consisted of 105 students selected by random sampling. The research instrument used was a student digital literacy questionnaire consisting of 24 statement items with five answer choices, namely strongly disagree (STS), disagree (TS), have no opinion (TB), agree (S), and strongly agree (SS).
