Abstract

It is evident to everyone that the being referred to as human needs to meet many requirements in order to sustain their life. With the rapid growth of technology, even fulfilling these needs is almost dependent on the use of technology, which would not be wrong to say. The reflections of high literacy levels observed in developed societies are significant research subjects in the online environment and their effects on learning. The importance of this development and change in educational institutions, especially, cannot be underestimated. Within this scope, this study aims to examine the impact of sports science students' digital literacy levels on e-learning. The universe of the study consists of students from faculties and colleges providing sports education in Turkey, and the sample includes 922 individuals selected through a simple random sampling method. The sample group was administered the “Digital Literacy Scale” developed by Ng (2012) and adapted to Turkish by Hamutoğlu et al. (2017), as well as the “Attitude Scale towards E-learning” developed by Haznedar (2012). As a result, it is predicted that digital literacy (and its sub-dimensions) has a 32.4% effect on being inclined towards e-learning.
