Abstract

Digital literacy and generative AI (Gen AI) literacy are essential for addressing the use of digital technologies in higher education learning. This study further investigates the inconsistent findings in previous research regarding the impact of digital technology and GenAI usage on academic performance. This study aims to analyse the influence of digital literacy and GenAI literacy on academic achievement. This research contributes novelty by proposing a model integrating digital literacy and GenAI literacy concepts. The study provides a deeper understanding of the impact of digital and GenAI literacy on students’ academic performance. Furthermore, it anticipates the competencies in digital and GenAI literacy required for the productive and responsible use of digital and GenAI technologies in learning. A quantitative approach was employed, specifically an explanatory research design. The research object focuses on the influence of digital literacy and GenAI literacy on academic performance. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The instruments used measured digital literacy, GenAI literacy, and students’ academic performance. The sampling technique applied was purposive sampling, with 150 respondents from the Accounting Department across four study programs. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, employing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that digital literacy and GenAI literacy positively enhance students’ academic performance. Mastery of digital and GenAI technologies enables students to access and utilise various learning resources more efficiently, potentially improving academic achievement.
