<![CDATA[Objective: One of the problems with the effectiveness of student learning is the suboptimal critical use of digital information, so strengthening digital literacy is needed to support more effective learning. This study aims to determine the effect of digital literacy on the effectiveness of learning of Educational Administration students at Padang State University. The method used is quantitative with a correlational approach. The study population was 621 students, with a sample of 89 people selected using Simple Random Sampling. Data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed with descriptive statistics including validity tests, normality reliability, simple linear regression tests, t-tests, and coefficients of determination (R2). Results: The results showed that digital literacy was in the good category (mean TCR = 85.14), with the highest score in digital security and ethics (87.05) and the lowest in digital content creation (83.55). Learning effectiveness was in the "good" category (mean TCR = 82.93), with the highest score in learning interaction (83.89) and the lowest in learning activity (82.32). Regression analysis shows that digital literacy has a positive and significant effect on learning effectiveness (β = 0.626; R2 0.529; t_hitung = 9.887). Novelty: This finding confirms that increasing digital literacy, especially in the aspects of accessing and managing information, digital communication, digital ethical security, and problem solving, can directly strengthen the effectiveness of student learning.]]>
