The study underscores the need for advanced IL instruction that moves beyond foundational skills to address critical evaluation and synthesis, preparing students for both academic and professional
contexts. Recommendations for targeted interventions and curriculum enhancements are discussed, contributing to the discourse on effective IL education in higher education. This study aims to create a
mathematics assessment tool in the form of valid and reliable digital literacy test questions, and characterise the quality of digital literacy test questions in junior high school mathematics learning. This
research is a development research adapted from the Borg & Gall development model, which includes the following steps: research and information gathering, planning, initial product development, limited
testing, initial product evaluation, field testing, and final product revision. The results showed that the digital literacy assessment tool in the form of digital knowledge multiple choice questions consisting of
20 complex multiple choice questions covering aspects of logic, construction, and language has been declared valid and feasible to use. This instrument is valid and has a reliability coefficient of 0.384. The
multiple choice questions have an average difficulty of 0.438 (medium) and an average differentiating power of 0.938 (good).
