ABSTRACT:

Digital literacy has become a crucial aspect in the development of modern education in the digital era. Students' ability to access, understand, and use digital technology directly contributes to both the quality of education and social harmony. This research aims to understand the extent to which digital literacy has been adopted by students in schools and how these skills impact their educational quality and social interactions. This article explores the importance of digital literacy in improving education quality and fostering social cohesion through a survey conducted among students at SMA Negeri 3 Sumedang. The research aims to examine the relationship between digital literacy and its impact on education quality and social harmony. Data were collected from 272 students as respondents. The findings indicate that increasing digital literacy has a positive correlation with improved education quality and the ability to engage in harmonious social interactions. The results of this research provide a foundation for developing educational programs that focus on enhancing digital skills and security awareness to prepare students for the challenges of the digital era.
