abstract
- The use of digital technology is essential to participate in the knowledge society, however, there is no certainty that university students have sufficient literacy to do so safely. In this article, the reliability of an instrument to assess Digital security literacy (DsL) from the complex thinking approach was developed, validated, and analyzed. 15 experts participated in the validation carried out by the simplified Delphi Digital method, 254 students collaborated in the reliability study. The results indicate that an Aiken v coefficient greater than 0.8 was obtained for each item, which indicates acceptable validity. Regarding the reliability analysis, the items obtained scores greater than 0.8 in cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients. This confirms that a valid and reliable instrument was developed that allows for consistent measurement of DsL. © 2024, United Academic Journals (UA Journals). All rights reserved.
