Coding process
Measures and their open-ended questions of digital literacy were placed into one of the four
categories, considered to be progression into the model of sophistication
spefically, participants’ open-ended defintions were coded at as
- Digital reading
- Goal-directed
- Critical use-based conceptions of digital literacy
- Technology backup
The categories were created to be mutally exclusive, such that reponses were placed into one and
only one category of digital literacy conceptions
After defining digital literacy in an open-ended fashion. The response of preservice teachers were
placed into 4 categories and only one categories of digital literacy concept. The categories were
created to be exhaustive, with as many responses as possible to be classifified into these four
categories
And these categories were mutally exclusive, meaning that such responses were placed into one and
only one category of digital literacy conceptions. Additionally, these categories were created to be
exhaustive , with an many reponses as possible classified into these four categories.
With the cohen’s kappa inter-rater agreement equal …… indicating strong agreement , remember
when it could be placed into one category, the more sophisticated digital reading category was
selected.
1. Scenario : Either or : with the question of defining the concept of digital literacy
For digital literacy, some one needs to be competent in regular literact and be able to have
knowledge about technologies, could be placed either into the digital reading category or into the
technology – focused category because its insistence that digital literacy requires “ knowledge about
technology. However, always opt for more of a sophisticated digital reading category was
selected.
2. Not a framework
At times, students identified skills not explicity mapping onto our digital framework in which one
student defined digital literacy as “ the skills necessary for digital literacy are being capable of using
technology and being proficent in its use. Also being able to communicated through technology ,
with communicating through technology which are not exclusively mapped into any of the framwork
and the conceptions of digital literact that they defined. However, it could be facilitiated into the
communication part as the technology focused were manifesting in the role of technology in the
facilitating communication.
Pre-service teachers were asked to select the skills that they considered to be essential for digital
literacy, from a list provided/ Please select the skills you consider to be most critcal for digital
literacy.

It is important to mark that the teachers who have their open-ended response were placed into the
crirical use category, considered the most sophisticated of the four defintions of digital literacy ,
were expected to conceptualize digital literacy in terms of its less sophisticated. This was
exemplified in reponses such as : digital literacy would be the process of finding and understanding
digital literature to obtain factual knowledge or evidence about a topic. To be digitally literate
requires proper search skills , rather than as discrete skills able to indentified and isolated.

Very important differences emerge is to across the two national setting was the concepts of
teacher’s defintion of digital literacy as reflecting digital reading.
Interesting to observe that in the United States that logically conceptualized digital literacy as
reading and writing with technology, consistent with the digital reading profile. As a contrast, the
term digital competency used in the Swedish survey did not similarly emphasized traditional aspects
of reading and witing with the digital profile. The term used may havec called to mind for the
teachers as the traditional aspects of reading and writing.

Examined the undergraduates’ attitudes towards and beliefs about digital lityeracy ( Gracia- MARTIN
& Gracia – Sanchez,2017, Maragunic & Granic, 2015). We contribute to the literature by asking more
fundamental questions
How do they the pre-service teacher could conceptualize the competence in digital literacy that they
are expected to develop. In doing so, they identify four the distinct and discernible profiles of
digital literacy conceptions.
The framework is able to inform both service and pre-service teacher preparation and assessment in
the area of digital literacy and potentially teacher’s own conceptions of activities related to digital
literacy. Moreover, we both validate there whereby unique national educational policy settings may
eb associated with pre-service teachers’ conceptions, as reflected in the emphasis on critcal
evaluation found among Swedish participants. As such, this study is unique in connecting individual
pre-service teachers’ psycholigcal conceptions of digital literacy with broader national and
educational trends.
