Abstract
This study aims to examine the digital and technological competencies of university students studying at different faculties. In this context, digital and technological competencies of university students were examined based on the comparative relational screening model according to gender, class and academic achievement variables. The participants of the study are 373 students studying at different faculties of Dokuz Eylül University, Düzce University, Kırklareli University and Necmettin Erbakan University. Data were collected through digital competence and technological competence scales. The findings showed that the digital competence and technological competence of university students were high in some dimensions and moderate in some dimensions. In addition, the digital competencies and technological competencies of university students differed in terms of grade level and achievement status. On the other hand, no significant difference was found in the digital competencies and technological competencies of the participants with regard to gender. Finally, a significant positive relationship was found between the digital competencies and technological competencies of the participating university students.
