This research was conducted to develop an instrument that can be used to assess Curriculum of Information Technology and Software (ITS), which is implemented for the 5th and 8th grades in 2012, according to students’ views in the context of digital citizenship. To develop the scale, ITS course curriculum and the related literature were reviewed, as a result, 74 test items were created and these items were reviewed by five instructors from Faculty of Education in Cukurova University, and their opinions about them are taken into consideration. The trial scale form which has its final version by making some necessary arrangements on an item pool is conducted for a pilot study in six schools, whose socio-economic levels range from bottom to upper, to 311 students. Thus, the data required for scale reliability and validity have been collected. In the explanatory factor analysis, it is shown that all 5 items in the item pool on the Digital Health were eliminated; the items of Digital Ethics and the Law of the substances in Digital and Digital Rights were brought together. Thus, a structure consisting of four-dimensional 48 items which includes Digital Ethics Act and Related Rights and Responsibilities (F1), Digital Literacy (F2), Digital Security (F3) and Digital Communications (F4) was obtained. Cronbach's alpha coefficient scales that explains 54.10% of the total variance range from .83 to .94. The total Cronbach alpha coefficient is .97. Also, there is an open ending question at the end of the scale. ÖzetBu araştırma 2012 yılında 5. - 8. sınıflar için uygulamaya konulan Ortaokul Bilişim Teknolojileri ve Yazılım (BTY) Dersi Öğretim Programının, dijital vatandaşlık bağlamında öğrenci görüşlerine göre değerlendirilmesinde kullanılabilecek bir ölçme aracı geliştirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin geliştirilmesi için BTY dersi öğretim programı ve ilgili alanyazın taranmış, oluşturulan 74 maddelik deneme formu Çukurova Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesinde görev yapmakta olan beş öğretim elemanına inceletilerek uzman görüşleri alınmıştır.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the digital literacy course taught to undergraduates with the cooperation of the Council of Higher Education (CHE) and Anadolu University on the ‘digital citizenship skills’ of social sciences teachers. In this context, 30 prospective social sciences teachers who received digital literacy training participated in the study, which employed criterion sampling, a purposive sampling technique. The study followed a pre-test and post-test uncontrolled quasi-experimental model. The digital literacy course process by distance learning covered eight weeks. At the beginning and the end of the digital literacy course, a ‘digital citizenship’ scale was applied to the prospective teachers. In research results, a significant positive difference was detected between the pre-test and post-test scores of prospective teachers obtained from the whole of the digital citizenship skills scale. Between pre-test and post-test scores of ‘digital communication’, ‘digital ethics’, and ‘critical thinking’ sub-dimensions of the digital citizenship scale, a significant difference was not detected. On the other hand, a positive significant difference was detected between scores from its digital skills, digital participation, digital rights and responsibilities, and digital commerce sub-dimensions. Similarly, between digital security points, which is another sub-dimension of the study, a significant difference was detected, though this difference was found to be negative. In this context, it is proposed that similar training should be made more common, more functional subjects in digital topics that teachers do not know should be the focus rather than those prospective teachers are expected to know, some changes regarding digital security must be implemented in institutions that teach the digital literacy course with distance learning and that these should enrich this subject further.

Quality enhancement of teacher education programs has been a debatable issue all over the world. The present study was aimed to assess the quality of teacher education programs being offered in a public sector university in Pakistan. Three programs were randomly selected and prospective teachers studying in the final semester were selected as sample of the study. Prospective teachers studying in last semester of teacher training programs were the respondents. Questionnaire, containing 55 statements divided into six factors, was used as data collection tool. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistics showed that the respondents were more satisfied about the selection criteria, effectiveness of teaching strategies used by teachers, behavior modification practices, appropriateness of courses, timely feedback, and teachers’ content knowledge but they were less satisfied with the statements related to availability of multimedia in the classes, sharing of faculty offices, no distortion of external factors, space to conduct activities, cleanliness and neatness of classrooms, and environment helpful for learning. The results of inferential statistics revealed significant difference in mean score of respondents from different programs on the factors of admission criteria, use of technology, assessment procedure, and quality of paper development and marking. It is recommended in the light of results that the university should allocate special budget to improve the quality of infrastructure. Furthermore, availability of technology and its proper use should be ensured by the university administratio

Digital citizenship is a concept that has gained importance, especially after the 2000s, with the increasing prevalence of digitalization. This study aimed to examine the thoughts of the students who took the Digital Citizenship and Society course at Gaziantep University, Faculty of Communication, Department of Journalism in the 2020-2021 academic year. The statements taken from the students reveal what the digital citizenship sub-dimensions mean in students' lives, which sub-dimension is more important to them, how they perceive the problems they encounter most in digital life, and the relationship between digitalization and participatory democracy. According to the results of the research, students have a positive attitude towards the concept of a digital citizen. Digital commerce and digital communication are the dimensions they are most associated with in their daily life. The most problematic dimensions are digital security, digital ethics, digital commerce, and digital law. Increasing digital citizenship qualities will facilitate participatory democracy.

Competencia Digital

Este artículo da cuenta del proyecto “Propuesta interuniversitaria de formación inicial de maestros en tecnologías digitales”. Para elaborarla, nos planteamos conocer la percepción de estudiantes y de docentes sobre qué necesidades abordar en relación con las tecnologías digitales y la competencia digital metodológica, y qué acciones institucionales son preferentes para desarrollar la competencia digital docente (CDD). En este estudio, utilizamos un diseño de investigación de métodos mixtos. Las técnicas e instrumentos usados han sido el análisis de la documentación disponible, grupos de discusión y cuestionarios. La propuesta va dirigida a las nueve universidades catalanas que imparten la formación de futuros docentes en los grados de Maestro de Educación Infantil y Primaria. Las principales conclusiones apuntan hacia la necesidad de vincular la universidad con la sociedad, así como de favorecer un desarrollo profesional del profesorado universitario y la alfabetización digital de sus estudiantes fomentando el aprendizaje colaborativo y la autoría. También, se destaca la importancia de priorizar la comunicación y la colaboración durante el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje usando recursos digitales útiles que lo faciliten. A su vez, se resalta la ética y la ciudadanía digital como una dimensión emergente a considerar en la práctica educativa. Finalmente, se apuntan tres acciones institucionales sobre CDD para contemplar en los planes de estudio universitarios. This article provides an account of the project "An inter-university proposal for the initial training of teachers in digital technologies". In order to prepare it, we consider the perception of students and teachers on what needs to be addressed with regard to digital technologies and methodological digital competence, and what institutional actions are preferential for the development of teachers’ digital competence (TDC). In this study, we used a mixed-method research design. The techniques and instruments used have been the analysis of available documentation, focus groups and surveys. The proposal is targeted at the nine Catalan Universities that provide training for future teachers in Pre-school and Primary Education Degrees. The main findings point to the need to link the university to the society, as well as to promote a professional development of university teachers and the digital literacy of their students by fostering collaborative learning and authorship.  Likewise, it highlights the importance of prioritizing communication and collaboration during the teaching and learning process using useful digital resources that facilitate it. At the same time, ethics and digital citizenship is highlighted as an emerging dimension to be considered in educational practice. Finally, three institutional actions about TDC are pointed out to consider in university curricula.

The study aimed to determine the degree to which kindergarten curricula in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia include some concepts of digital citizenship in light of the digital age requirements. To achieve this goal, the researcher used the descriptive and analytical approach to the study sample represented in 8 books from the kindergarten curricula in Saudi Arabia. A list of digital citizenship concepts, needed in light of the digital age, was built based on a review of educational literature and previous studies related to the topic. The list included a total of 30 indicators categorised into 6 areas: digital behavior, digital communication, digital knowledge, digital health and safety, digital law, and digital security. The researcher analyzed the content based on the list of standards and concluded that the inclusion of digital citizenship concepts was very limited or almost absent in the studied sample. Inclusion was highest for digital knowledge and digital health and safety at 50% for each area, but with only two repetitions. Other areas, however, were not included at all (0%). The most important recommendation of the study is to highlight the need for specialists in kindergarten curricula to familiarize themselves with the current global standards of curricula, and to include the most important and relevant concepts of the digital age, including digital citizenship. It is also necessary to review the weaknesses and the lack of kindergarten books on the self-learning approach in the curriculum developed in Saudi Arabia, as well as to strengthen the available advantages.
