Abstract:
This study on factors affecting digital economy education aimed to examine the general condition of individuals, personal factors, academia factors and decision-making to study digital economy. The study was conducted with a sample group of final year students at the bachelor's degree level and used an online questionnaire as a data collection tool. The statistics used in the data analysis were frequency, percentage, standard deviation and regression. The results showed that age, occupation, need to have knowledge and skills in educational research for use in working or writing academic work, and need to use knowledge or qualifications to help hold a position at a higher level and having the opportunity to become a master's degree student increase the honour and dignity for oneself and one’s family. These points can significantly explain the decision to pursue a master’s degree in digital economy. Policy recommendations include continuing education based on the need for knowledge and research skills. Consequently, changes in technology affecting the economy and society may require policymakers to consider shifting the skills of workers or careers in new fields and learning skills in the future in line with the changes occurring in the digital economy era.
