A comprehensive study has systematically reviewed empirical research on digital citizenship (DC) education, covering publications from 2004 to 2024. Digital citizenship is a multifaceted concept that includes norms of appropriate and responsible technology use. As digital technologies continue to evolve, the need for effective education in this area has become increasingly critical.
The study highlights various teaching practices employed in classrooms, emphasizing the importance of integrating DC education into the curriculum. It examines how educators are adapting their methods to address the challenges posed by the digital age, including issues of online safety, privacy, and ethical behavior.
Research insights reveal that while many educators recognize the significance of digital citizenship, there remains a gap in effective implementation and assessment strategies. The findings suggest that ongoing professional development for teachers is essential to enhance their skills in delivering DC education effectively.
Overall, this study underscores the necessity of fostering responsible digital citizens who can navigate the complexities of the online world.
