Abstract

Dataset provides wide measurement data on internet skills, internet attitudes, computer self-efficacy of the students related to the digital citizenship in Indonesia. Due to the pandemic of Covid-19, the survey was conducted online by considering the informant consent on assessing demographic information (7 items), internet skills (9 items), internet attitude (5 items), expertise and skills in using a computer (5 items), respect (6 items), educate (5 items), and protect (4 items), which was carried out from March to April. There were a total of 581 respondents selected through probability sampling based on random convenient sample from 12 public and private senior high schools which spread throughout 5 cities in Central Java, Indonesia. The survey data were analyzed using multivariate analysis and partial least structure with the analysis technique of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). In the future, this data can help educators, researchers, and educational policy makers to determine the level of readiness of students' digital citizenship attributes and efforts to conduct further research on efforts to strengthen digital citizenship in curricular programs.
