“…As screen media transformed from a primarily receptive format with a few powerful creators to an interactive platform with countless, everyday authors, aspects of media literacy were applied to programs created to enhance digital citizenship and positive online social behaviors, including tolerance, respect, and empathy [ 5 ], that contribute to prosocial participation in online communities [ 6 ]. Although in-school cyberbullying interventions are regularly evaluated [ 7 ], assessments of other broader digital citizenship initiatives are very rare [ 8 ], with a single dissertation [ 9 ] identified in a recent review of this topic [ 10 ] and only a few published since then [ 11 ]. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Screenshots , a program designed by Media Power Youth that applies a health lens to digital citizenship.…”

Background Screenshots is an in-school curriculum that seeks to develop positive digital social skills in middle school students with the long-term goal of improving their health and well-being. The program imparts knowledge and teaches skills upon which young adolescents can build a set of beliefs and behaviors that foster respectful interactions, prosocial conflict resolutions, and safe and secure use of communication technology. Intervening in this way can improve young people’s mental health by limiting their exposure to cyberbullying and other forms of negative online interactions. This study reports on an evaluation of the Screenshots program conducted with seventh graders in a public school system in a midsized New England city. Objective This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Screenshots program in increasing participants’ knowledge about key concepts of digital citizenship and in shifting beliefs and intended behaviors to align with prosocial and safe online interactions. In addition, the study examines whether the program has varying effects on males’ and females’ conflict and bullying resolution strategies. Methods This quasi-experimental evaluation was conducted in four middle schools in which one group of seventh graders received the Screenshots curriculum and another did not. Before and after the curriculum, all students completed a questionnaire that measured their knowledge of and beliefs about digital citizenship and related online behavioral concepts, their attitudes regarding strategies for stopping online bullying, and their intended online conflict resolution behaviors. Results The sample included 92 students who received the curriculum and 71 students who were included in the comparison group. Pre- to postinstruction retention rates ranged from 52% (33/63) to 84% (21/25), varying by school and condition. The results showed an increase in knowledge about key curricular concepts for some students (F1,32=9.97; P=.003). In response to some individual items, students decreased their belief supportive of a negative online behavior (F1,76=9.00; P=.004) and increased their belief consistent with an online safety behavior (F1,42=4.39; P=.04) compared with the comparison group. Gender moderated the results related to conflict resolution, with males from one school reducing their endorsement of an aggressive option (F2,40=5.77; P=.006) and males from another school increasing their reported tendency to pursue a nonaggressive option (F2,28=3.65; P=.04). On average, participants reported learning something new from the classes. Conclusions This study represents a rare evaluation of an in-school digital citizenship program and demonstrates the effectiveness of Screenshots. Students’ increased knowledge of key curricular concepts represents a foundation for developing future beliefs and healthy behaviors. Differences in how adolescent males and females experience and perpetrate online aggression likely explain the conflict resolution findings and emphasize the need to examine gender differences in response to these programs. Students’ high ratings of the relevance of Screenshots’ content reinforce the need for this type of intervention.

“…A contextual learning approach is a learning approach that emphasizes the full involvement of students to be able to find the material being studied and relate it to real-life situations to encourage students to be able to apply it in their lives (Selvianiresa & Prabawanto, 2017;Tapingkae et al, 2020). In the learning process, teachers are required to create very interesting learning, one of which is by utilizing information technology that can attract students' attention (Yerizon et al, 2020).…”

Adequate facilities and infrastructure are not yet ready so that learning cannot run smoothly. The purpose of this study was to analyze the process of learning English. This research is qualitative, descriptive research that tends to use analysis and emphasizes process and meaning more. The approach used in this study is phenomenological. Data collection methods used in this study were interviews, questionnaires, and observation. The instrument used to analyze the data is a questionnaire. The data analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative analysis. The results of this study are that four critical factors support the smooth running of the English learning process: the principal, parents of students, students, and educators. The role of the principal, especially the support of the principal in the form of providing facilities and infrastructure, is an essential factor because, without this learning, it will not be able to run smoothly. The role of parents is also essential because their assistance to students will be able to provide a learning atmosphere. Student motivation is also an essential key to the success of learning English. This research with the results wants to show that various parties pay attention to four main factors for the smooth teaching and learning activities process.

“…As a result, a digital citizen must possess a variety of talents, including communication skills, information skills (the ability to synthesize knowledge into a new form), and multimedia literacy in design, photo, and video editing. Others characterized digital citizens as those who are kind and tolerant to others and participate in civic activities (Jones & Mitchell, 2016;Tapingkae et al, 2020). Thus, this cluster of definitions can be summarized as the standard of one's practice or acts safely and securely, according to the accepted norms, rules, and laws of digital citizenship.…”

Online world demands new sets of characteristics to warrant the ability to cope with its constantly evolving challenges and risks. Digital citizenship, a concept introduced, focusing on new ways of learning and exploring in an online environment safely, securely, and appropriately. The evolution of digital citizenship could be seen along with the changes in technology used in education, and requires students to engage with technology longer hours than before. Thus, how can we approach the challenge of using technology actively and immersively, while maintaining sanity and wellness, and building resilience to potential online risk? Thus, this conceptual paper proposes a new concept of digital citizenship by bridging the notions of wellness and resilience from the psychology discipline into digital citizenship, for its feasibility in the Malaysian educational context. This paper argues the necessity and potential integration of the spiritual element that is lacking in the existing digital citizenship concept, which has proven its significance in enhancing wellness and resilience of adolescent in the literature. It is hoped this fourth wave of proposed digital citizenship concept would bring fruitful discussion and contribute to a better understanding of how one might better socialize online or participate with others in a positive and meaningful way. Thus, only then, digital resilience and digital wellness will be established and a better future online society will be formed.
