Abstract

The current research aims to study the reality of digital transformation among middle school students. The researcher developed a digital transformation reality scale based on the technology acceptance model. The scale consists of (15) items, with the response options being (agree, sometimes, often). After applying the scale to a sample of (400) male and female middle school students and processing the data using appropriate statistical methods, the research concluded that the middle school students in general demonstrate a high level of digital transformation use. Statistically significant differences in digital transformation were found according to the gender variable (male, female) and the specialization variable (scientific, literary). In light of these results, a number of conclusions, recommendations, and suggestions were formulated.
