Abstract
Reading literacy for university students still needs to be advocated due to their contribution, as digital learners are very demanding through involving comprehensive understanding and reading information digitally. This paper aims to find out and represent university students’ reading literacy in their responses as digital learners because university students need a clear understanding of information to contribute well in the digital era and to understand how students can analyze digital information and engage with digital content effectively. This qualitative descriptive research used some research instruments such as observation, interview, and documentation. The sample of this research was 2nd semester students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Tangerang, with a total sample of 31 students. The observation is done at the beginning to gain students’ reading literacy after utilizing the digital platform. The interview was used to find out the students’ reading literacy during the spot time, and the last was documentation; the documentation used some digital platforms that contained information. The data were analyzed based on PISA 2018 indicators. This research found that university students’ reading literacy can be divided into three levels: high, medium, and low levels of reading literacy students. Besides, the representation of reading literacy also shows that there has been a significant increase over time. This is due to students’ awareness of continuing to foster their reading skills and habits.
