Abstract
Presently, Thai society is moving rapidly into a digital society, especially during the pandemic of COVID-19. Digital Intelligence Quotient (DQ) serves as a significant factor in helping the individuals adapt to the digital. The purposes of this descriptive correlational research were to describe DQ and examine its associated factors among lower secondary school students. The sample included 166 lower secondary school students of public schools located in Khok Charoen District, Lopburi Province. Simple random sampling was used to recruit this sample. Instruments for data collection consisted of questionnaires to gather data for general information, Digital Intelligence Quotient, metacognition, assertiveness, family Support, and teacher support. These questionnaires yielded Cronbach alpha of .85, .82, .91, .80 and .83, respectively. Data were analyzed by using percentage, mean, standard deviation and Pearson's correlation coefficient statistics. The study results showed that the level of DQ among this sample was in a moderate level (X̄ = 206.75, SD = 34.95). Correlational analysis found that the metacognition and assertive had high and positive relationships with DQ (r = 0.654, p<.01 and r = 0.669, p<.01). Whereas teacher support had a low and positive relationship with DQ with significant level of .05 (r = 0.159). From this study results, it is suggested that DQ essential to help young people lead a safe digital life. Encouraging youth to be assertive, metacognition and with proper support from teachers can help increase DQ.
