In the study as a data collection tool “Digital Literacy Assessment Tool” developed by Acar (2015) is used. The data is analyzed with SPSS 22.0.

It is found that the preservice teachers’ own perception of digital literacy differs significantly in terms of variables like age, university grade (year), having personal computer and social media account. As the preservice teachers’ faculty and daily use of internet are not significant in terms of digital literacy, those variables are found to be insignificant variables.
