Abstract
This study examined the effect of ICT skills and study habits on students’ everyday digital literacy. It used a quantitative correlational research design with 136 high school students from Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School as respondents. The study used the weighted mean, Pearson r, and multiple regression analysis as statistical tools. The results showed that students had very high levels of ICT skills, especially in using digital tools, managing information, and performing basic technical tasks. Study habits were also rated very high, particularly in time management, learning strategies, and discipline in studying. Overall, students’ everyday digital literacy was found to be very high in terms of accessing information, communicating digitally, and using technology responsibly. The findings showed that ICT skills and study habits have a significant relationship with everyday digital literacy. This highlights the importance of improving both technology skills and good study habits to help students become more digitally capable in their daily academic activities.
