In this study, it was analyzed whether there are differences in the digital literacy levels of teacher candidates who are receiving education in the Faculty of Education in terms of variables. To that end, the answer to the question, "Do the digital literacy levels of teacher candidates display differences according to gender, high-school type they graduated from, their department, interest level in use of technology and time they spend on the Internet?" was sought. In this study the survey model was used. The sample of the study consists of freshmen students who received education at the Departments of Social Studies, Guidance and Psychological Counselling, Mathematics, Turkish and Preschool Faculty of Education Kahramanmaras Sütçü Imam University (KSU) in the 2019-2020 academic year.

With the purpose of collecting data, the "Digital Literacy Scale" adapted to Turkish by Hamutoglu, Güngören, Kaya Uyanik and Gür Erdogan (2017) was used. According to the results of the study, it was determined through the analyses that there is a significant difference in the digital literacy levels of teacher candidates in favor of female candidates when gender was taken as the basis. It was determined that there is no significant difference in the digital literacy levels of teacher candidates in any of the sub-factors in terms of their department, high-school they graduated from and time spent on internet. In addition, a significant difference was found in all sub-factors according to the levels of interest in technology.
