Abstract

Purpose: This research aimed to investigate the relationship between media literacy and information literacy with students' acceptance of e-learning based on structural equation modeling.

Methods: The current research is, applied in terms of purpose and in terms of method descriptive-survey based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the research was all the students of Tabriz Islamic Art University (2743) in 2020, of which 371 were selected by simple random sampling. The reliability of media literacy, information literacy, and e-learning acceptance questionnaires were calculated through Cronbach's alpha coefficient and their values were 0.83, 0.93, and 0.95, respectively. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient test and structural equation modeling.

Results: The findings of the research showed that the students' e-learning acceptance status has an average of 3.13 and is slightly higher than the average. The average media literacy and information literacy of Tabriz Islamic Art University students are 3.37 and 3.23, respectively. There is a positive and significant relationship between media literacy and information literacy with students' acceptance of e-learning. The findings showed that the conceptual model presented regarding the relationship between media literacy and information literacy has a good fit with students' acceptance of e-learning.
