Abstract
The current state of digital literacy in the Philippines is a mixed landscape, showing significant progress yet facing persistent challenges. On the positive side, there's an increasing awareness and integration of digital literacy in the education sector. In an increasingly digital world, understanding individuals' preferences for reading formats and electronic sources is crucial. The study sought to investigate the preferred format for reading based on purpose and the frequency of usage of various electronic devices and sources for accessing reading material. By exploring these factors, the study uncovers insights into how individuals engaged with written content in digital environments. Understanding these preferences can inform strategies for optimizing content delivery and enhancing the reading experience in an evolving technological landscape. The study assessed the Reading Habits and Information Consumption in the Digital Age of the Senior High School students of Vivencio P. Casas Sr. Memorial High School. Findings revealed that majority of the respondents’ internet usage experience for 1-5 years. Internet usage varies among students. Traditional print materials hold a moderate preference among the students, while on-screen reading exhibit a stronger preference. Preferences for reading formats differ depending on the purpose. Majority of the students prefer traditional printed materials and/or books for academic reading. Some respondents prefer electronic formats for leisure reading and other digital contents. Among electronic devices, Smartphones are mostly utilized for on-screen reading. While mobile devices equipped with e-readers are commonly used for on-screen reading, while desktops and tablets show less utilization. A few respondents do not utilize any electronic device for on-screen reading. The electronic sources frequently used by the students for digital reading are the social networking platforms. However, other websites offering free books and articles are less commonly accessed. The respondents have encountered various challenges when searching for online reading material, including concerns about information reliability, health risks associated with prolonged screen time, potential addiction, and difficulties with user interfaces. These challenges emphasized the interface of some sources while navigating the digital content.
