Abstract
The primary goal of this study is to identify predictors of PISA 2018 Korean students’ autonomy in digital device usage. Specifically, predictors were selected using LASSO (Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) and CV (cross-validation), followed by statistical inference on the selected predictors via the post-selection inference (PSI) techniques. The results from a simulation study, which reflects the characteristics of social science large-scale data, were also applied to the analysis of PISA 2018 data. The findings indicate that enhancing students’ autonomy in digital device usage requires not only cultivating positive attitudes towards device usage but also improving literacy and overall autonomy. This study provides evidence for analyzing social science large-scale data from linear mixed models using PSI, and extends the applicability of PSI in the field of social sciences.
