This paper describes the results of a pilot study focused on measuring the affective components of individual digital competences defined by the DigComp digital literacy concept. Even if pupils are gradually developing digital literacy in elementary schools and are introduced to the potential of digital technologies and their possibilities of use, they may still lack some of the important affective components such as motivation, desire and willingness to engage (appropriately) with digital technologies in their professional and private lives. A prerequisite for valid measurement is a well-designed diagnostic tool including the identification and assessment of emotional and motivational factors that are directly related to the development of digital competences. The article describes a pilot study with the objective of designing a diagnostic tool to measure the affective components of digital literacy. The pilot study was conducted on a sample of second stage elementary school pupils.
