“…However, earlier investigation reports that learners in the lower grades of schools located in rural provinces have better IT literacy achievement than ones studying in major cities [46]. This is due to a more significant technology investment by governments in those disadvantaged provinces.…”

As a generation of ‘digital natives,’ secondary students who were born from 2002 to 2010 have various approaches to acquiring digital knowledge. Digital literacy and resilience are crucial for them to navigate the digital world as much as the real world; however, these remain under-researched subjects, especially in developing countries. In Vietnam, the education system has put considerable effort into teaching students these skills to promote quality education as part of the United Nations-defined Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4). This issue has proven especially salient amid the COVID−19 pandemic lockdowns, which had obliged most schools to switch to online forms of teaching. This study, which utilizes a dataset of 1061 Vietnamese students taken from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)’s “Digital Kids Asia Pacific (DKAP)” project, employs Bayesian statistics to explore the relationship between the students’ background and their digital abilities. Results show that economic status and parents’ level of education are positively correlated with digital literacy. Students from urban schools have only a slightly higher level of digital literacy than their rural counterparts, suggesting that school location may not be a defining explanatory element in the variation of digital literacy and resilience among Vietnamese students. Students’ digital literacy and, especially resilience, also have associations with their gender. Moreover, as students are digitally literate, they are more likely to be digitally resilient. Following SDG4, i.e., Quality Education, it is advisable for schools, and especially parents, to seriously invest in creating a safe, educational environment to enhance digital literacy among students.

As artificial intelligence education (AI) continues to be integrated into the mainstream educational system across countries, cultural competence and ethical considerations should be emphasized to ensure effective AI learning. Literatures has established that integrating elements of cultural competence within technology mediums has helped students understand difficult topics from computer science concepts learned in class. It is also argued that student with an ethical orientation of AI education is more likely to learn more about impacts and implications of AI. Hence, this study was conducted to understand how students' cultural competence, and ethics combine to influence AI content. We surveyed Nigerian high school students after an experimental teaching session. A total of 596 students provided useful responses for the analysis that was done using WarpLS software. We performed structural equation modelling to understand the relationship among the variables utilized in the study. The result shows that cultural competence and ethics significantly influence AI content. This study's results further shows that the association between ethics of AI and AI content has the highest predictive value which emphases the vital role of ethics in AI learning. This study also tested school location differences in the research model and discovered that urban students' perception is higher than their rural counterpart on the adopted variables in relation to AI content. Overall, the results suggest that stakeholders and educators should emphasize cultural elements and humanistic thinking as well as ethical considerations in the design of AI content and instructional materials. We discuss the findings and propose future directions.
