Abstract Abstract
This study examines the level of Digital Awareness (DA) among secondary stage students in the context of the growing importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technology in education and society. Digital awareness is considered an essential competency for students to participate effectively in academic, social, and digital environments. The study was conducted on a random sample of 480 secondary stage students from different schools in Jharkhand, including schools affiliated with JAC, CBSE, and ICSE boards. A self-constructed and validated Digital Awareness Scale was used as the main tool for data collection. The data were analyzed using statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation, and t-test.
The findings reveal varying levels of digital awareness among students: 5.20% had very high awareness, 29.79% high awareness, 43.13% moderate awareness, 18.96% low awareness, and 2.92% very low awareness. Significant differences were found based on gender, type of school, and school board. Male students showed slightly higher digital awareness than female students. However, no significant difference was observed based on habitat. Students studying in private schools demonstrated higher digital awareness compared to those in government schools. Differences were also found among students from different boards, indicating that access to digital resources and environmental exposure influence digital awareness.
The study emphasizes the need to strengthen digital education and ensure equal access to technology for all students.
