This paper utilizes the Delphi method and analytic network process to construct a digital literacy evaluation index system for applied undergraduate students and evaluates the digital literacy level of applied undergraduates in Shanxi Province.Overall,the average digital literacy score of students is 57.95,indicating a generally low level.From the perspective of scores in different dimensions,digital ethics and safety(65.23)>digital consciousness(61.03)>digital general knowledge(57.27)>digital vocational ability(57.20)>digital general skills(55.95),with each dimension showing characteristics of more individuals scoring below the average and fewer above it.Regarding group differences,significant variations in digital literacy and its dimensions exist among genders,grades,majors,and hometown,showing trends such as males>females,higher grades>lower grades,science and engineering>business and management>humanities,and urban>rural areas.Universities should enhance the digital literacy of applied undergraduates by adding related courses,transforming teaching scenarios digitally,and strengthening digital ethics education and supervision.
