Abstract
The objective of this study was to design and validate a scale for evaluating digital skills for primary school students. The scale has five dimensions organized into subscales that add up to 15 items. A sample of 158 Peruvian primary school students participated (70 males (44.3%) and 88 females (55.7%)). Validity was evaluated with the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test (KMO) achieving a value of.80 and the Bartlett Sphericity Test was significant (χ2 = 843.610, gl = 105, p <.001). In the reliability analysis, the information and information literacy subscale obtained a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of.79, communication and collaboration of.68, digital content creation of.72, security of.62 and resolution of technological problems of.75. Allowing concluding that the scale is valid and reliable.
