Abstract
This study determined the influence of digital literacy and information literacy on critical thinking skills among teacher education students. Quantitative research design utilizing descriptive-correlational approach was used in this study. The data were gathered from 147 third-year teacher education students of Kapalong College of Agriculture, Sciences and Technology (KCAST) through stratified random sampling. Findings revealed that the levels of digital literacy and information literacy were both high; and the level of critical thinking skills was high. Results also revealed that there were high, positive, and significant relationships among the variables: digital literacy and critical thinking skills; and information literacy and critical thinking skills. Moreover, results showed that domains of digital literacy such as critical thinking, citizenship, and curation can significantly influence critical thinking skills. Finally, it was revealed that domains of information literacy such as information knowledge, information skills, and information morality can significantly predict critical thinking skills. Results imply that the variables are significant in improving the critical thinking skills of teacher education students.
