The respondents of this study were from two classes in the HUMSS, ABM and STE Strand. A validated questionnaire was used to determine the correlation Ievel between digital literacy and learning attitude of the respondents in Mathematics. Mean and standard deviation were used to assess the level. Pearson r and t-test were used to determine the correlation and the level of significance between the variables.
