초록
The aim of the present study was to review and discuss about affective domains in the digital literacy. A concept of digital literacy attitude (hereafter, DLA) was proposed as an individual’s psychological tendency of cognitive, affective, and behavioral processes that relates to literacy practice in the digitalized environment. Under this definition, DLA was compared with and contrast to the print literacy attitude (PLA) in terms of a conceptual level. In addition, relevant two theoretical perspectives of attitude and motivation were considered to conceptualize the theoretical framework of DLA.
 Next, this study sought to explore the sub-dimensions of DLA. The theoretical review of 20 relevant affective concepts and terms (e.g., self-efficacy, preference) revealed that the DLA consisted of 6 dimensions: (1) value of digital literacy, (2) self-efficacy, (3) positive-negative feelings toward DLA, (4) internal and external desires toward digital literacy, (5) self-regulation, including avoidance of self-indulgence, and (6) participation. Theoretical and educational implications as well as limitations were discussed revolving around the concept of DLA.
