| Abstract [eng] |
The Information Technology becomes an important part of our everyday lives and changes the way of our living via the Internet. Many traditional services are being replaced by their electronic counterparts. Besides, it is not only a communication way, but it also saves resources of a company. This tendency faces a barrier – capability of citizens or the labour force to understand and use different kinds of Information Technology. The main idea of this work is to find a way how the gap between the perceived and the actual states of the digital literacy could be calculated. Also these tasks are choosesen: 1. to analyze the areas and problems of a digital literacy; 2. to find a new model to solve the existing problem; 3. to use new model in a practics; 4. to analyze testing results and evaluate the advantages of used model. Such methods are used in the work:  analysis of scientific literature;  statistics analysis;  interview;  experiment measurements;  observation The new model of a testing was created and analyzed. The model consists of two parts: Digital Literacy Self Assessment and Digital Literacy Practical Assessment. It was used in experiments that are described in the work. As the result of this we can see that a gap exists between the ‘perceived’ state of Digital Literacy and the ’actual state”. Self assessment results were compared with a real situation. As the main results of mentioned experiments we can tell that such researches enable to value the real situation of digital survey and increase it’s effectiveness, so the best way is to use described model for Digital Literacy researches in different countries. This will help us to know if a person has enough skills in using computer and understand the main tasks of IT and also will show us the real situation of a certain country talking about digital literacy level. The work consists of 61 pages. There are 28 tables and 19 graphics that help to realise the situation more clearly. |
