Digital citizenship in education and its implication

Abstract

Nowadays, billions of people across the world communicate with one another using a variety of technological means. As a result of this connection, we now live in a digital world where people can learn, work, play, and socialize with ease. Likewise, educators of all skills levels may not understand how to use technology effectively. Hence, both students and teachers need to become a member of a digital citizenry. Findings revealed that in terms of the elements of digital citizenship, teachers are significantly higher than students. The results indicate that students are at risk in this digital environment along with the covid-19 pandemic. This critical aspect addresses the schools to provide initiative and integrate digital citizenship in the curriculum in order to provide a responsible digital citizen.

Ciudadanía digital en estudiantes: revisión sistemática

“…También es la capacidad de descubrir información e interactuar con personas digitalmente haciendo uso de la tecnología, lo que requiere de habilidades para evaluar la información y darse cuenta de las consecuencias sobre la seguridad digital y tecnologías de la información (Prasetiyo et al, 2021;Liu, I. y Liu, Q., 2021). A su vez, se entiende como atributo de la persona y su acción en las comunidades (Ollivier et al, 2021), lo que implica hacer uso seguro y ético de la tecnología, que sea capaz de comprender las políticas de privacidad que se aplican a la información recopilada en línea y cooperar responsablemente con sus pares a nivel mundial (Capuno et al, 2022;Örtegren, 2022).…”
