Digital literacy is an essential competency for prospective elementary school teachers in adapting to technological developments in education. This study aims to describe the development of digital literacy among final-year students of the Elementary School Teacher Education (PGSD) Study Program at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation involving the head of the study program and three final-year students in semesters VII and VIII. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with triangulation used to ensure credibility. The findings indicate that students possess a fairly good understanding of digital literacy, including information searching, source evaluation, academic technology utilization, and responsible digital practices. However, their competencies remain suboptimal, particularly in operating reference management applications, critically assessing information credibility, and using digital tools effectively for academic purposes. Therefore, continuous training, curriculum integration, academic assistance, and independent learning are necessary to strengthen students' digital literacy and professional readiness as future elementary school teachers.
