Performance
The Performance section measures participants’ practical digital skills across a range of real-life tasks. Instead of self-reports, these items test what people can actually do: for example, searching for reliable information, recognizing AI-generated images, protecting their devices, or using AI tools effectively. The items cover eleven areas of digital competence, from strategic and critical information skills to AI and generative AI skills, providing an overall picture of how well individuals can navigate today’s digital environment.
Strategic Information
Strategic Information Competence is the ability to effectively search for and locate information online. This includes choosing good keywords, using search functions, and finding answers to questions on the internet.
Critical Information
Critical Information Competence is the ability to evaluate online information: checking whether information is true, assessing website reliability, and understanding the purpose of online content (to inform, influence, entertain, or sell).
