ABSTRACT
Digital skills are essential for a technologized society. For younger generations, it has become
almost necessary to have such skills. This study focuses on a valid and reliable measurement tool
to determine the digital skills of university students. The research was carried out with the
participation of a total of 463 university students. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory
factor analysis were conducted to investigate the validity and reliability of the digital skills survey.
Consequently, research on the validity and reliability of the digital skills survey in the Russian
environment was conducted. 25 items and six factors (access to and management of digital
content, digital empathy, use of digital means, digital safety, communication of digital content,
creation of digital content) were identified after the analysis. Future research should employ the
adapted survey to assess the level of students’ digital skills. In addition, the survey’s validity may
be analyzed in the context of other cultures.
