本研究針對高等教育學生調查新媒體素養與網路資訊搜尋策略的概況以及兩者的關聯性。研究樣本為臺灣地區56所大專院校1514位的大學生與研究生，男性670位、女性844位。低年級大學生767位、高年級大學生555位、研究生192位。研究工具採用新媒體素養和資訊搜尋策略兩份問卷。並根據探索性因素分析、T 檢定、單因子變異數、相關、路徑進行資料分析。
研究結果顯示，新媒體素養量表和資訊搜尋策略量表在探索性因素與內部一致性分析皆具備良好信效度。新媒體素養概況方面，高教學生在獲取媒體資訊和理解媒體內容的能力(功能性消費)水準最高，在媒體環境中具有邏輯清晰與嚴密思維，且有效運用媒體與社會互動的能力(批判性製造消費構面)程度則最低。高教生在使用新媒體內容(消費技能)和製作創造媒體內容的技術技能(產消技能)上具有相當高的能力。資訊搜尋策略方面，高教學生傾向進行有目的的思考，嘗試整合訊息以獲取最合適的資訊(精緻化探索)，以較高階的搜尋策略進行網路搜尋行為。女性在使用新媒體內容(消費技能)和製作創造媒體內容的技術技能(產消技能)，以及在web2.0環境對媒體內容進行複製或混合的能力(製作2.0)明顯優於男性。而男性則較女性更能理解媒體內容意義(理解能力)、對媒體內容提出質疑和批評(評估)，分析解構媒體資訊(分析)，以及在社群媒體環境提供回應與評論(回饋)。高年級大學生比低年級大學生更能對媒體內容提出質疑、批評和挑戰(評估)。研究所學生和高年級大學生則比低年級大學生具有更好的能力以有意義的方式對媒體內容進行採樣與混合(綜合)。
相關結果指出，整體「新媒體素養」向度和「精緻化探索策略」呈顯著正相關，也就是說，若高教學生的新媒體素養程度越高，使用精緻化探索策略的可能性就越高，高教生會傾向進行有目的的思考，嘗試整合以獲取最符合目的訊息進行網路搜尋行為。路徑分析指出，整體高教生在「理解能力」、「評估」、「分析」、「綜合」素養可預測「精緻化探索」搜尋策略，且「發佈」素養可預測「符合」搜尋策略。因此，本研究量表乃適用於針對高等教育新媒體素養之後續研究調查，並提供教師及相關研究者做進一步之參考。

This study aimed to explore post-secondary school students' new media literacy and information searching strategies, and the relationships between these two factors. The samples were 1514 undergraduate students and graduate students, (670 males and 844 females) divided into three groups (767 junior undergraduate students, and 555 senior undergraduate students, and 192 graduate students) from 56 universities in Taiwan. Two questionnaires were used in this study: The New Media Literacy scale (NMLS) and Information Searching Strategies scale (ISSS). The quantitative results were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis, descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, correlation analysis, and path analysis.
The result of exploratory factor analysis showed that the two scales have good validity and reliability. About new media literacy, post-secondary school students’ functional consuming skills are at a high level, and critical prosuming skills are at a low level. students had a high level and good skill to get media information and to understand the content of media. But they had low skills of distinct logic and rigorous thinking in the media environment and apply the media effectively to communicate with society. Students' highest level items are consuming skill and prosuming skill. female students' consuming skills, prosuming skills, and production 2.0 are better than male students. male students had a better understanding, evaluation ability, analysis ability, and feedback ability than female students. Senior undergraduate students are more able to evaluate, criticize, and challenge media content than junior undergraduate students. Graduate students and senior undergraduate students have better synthesis ability to sample and mix media content than junior undergraduate students.
The results show post-secondary school students’ all of the new media literacy factors and exploration are significantly positively correlated. The path analysis results show that post-secondary school students' "understanding," "evaluation," "analysis," and "synthesis" in NMLS may predict their "elaboration" in ISSS, and "distribution" in NMLS may predict their "match" in ISSS.
