Abstract
This is an empirical study on the factors influencing digital literacy. In particular, we focused on 'awareness of the need of smart devices' and 'information education as a traditional capacity enhancement method' as factors that should be noted in the changing smart era. As a result of the analysis, the awareness factor has a positive effect on digital usage. Also, there was no significant effect of information education for smartphones on the digital usage. It is necessary to continuously improve digital accesses such as material access, digital skill access, and various uses of digital contents based on the improvement of motivational factors.
