This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, related articles were obtained over a period of five years (2020-2024). The articles obtained came from reference articles in English and Indonesian, obtained from several media databases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Education Resources Information Center (ERIC). From the collected digital literacy data, it can be concluded that students' digital literacy abilities are categorized as low and high. However, in several areas students fall into the moderate or sufficient category. Increasing students' digital literacy abilities can be helped by implementing a learning model that is dominated by using digital media in searching, processing and obtaining data and information. The results of this meta-analysis show that implementing learning using appropriate strategies can develop and improve students' digital literacy skills.
