The research instrument consisted of a Likert-scale questionnaire encompassing indicators such as functional and technical skills in operating digital devices, creativity in producing digital learning content, collaboration abilities using digital platforms, communication skills within digital spaces, information literacy in locating and selecting learning resources, critical thinking in evaluating digital content, socio-cultural awareness related to digital ethics, electronic security in safeguarding personal data, and technical problem-solving competencies. The study’s findings indicated that prospective of elementary school strong proficiency in information literacy, with an average score of 4.57, and digital communication, scoring 4.42. However, certain areas require further development, particularly electronic security (3.50) and digital socio-cultural understanding (3.65), which received comparatively lower scores. In light of these findings, measures should be taken to enhance the digital literacy of prospective primary school teachers, particularly through language skills courses aimed at strengthening their understanding and effective use of digital technology and information.
