Instruments for measuring Digital Citizenship Competence in schools: a scoping review

Abstract

The integration of digital technology into the teaching and learning process has both good and negative consequences. Several schools have incorporated digital citizenship to teach the responsible use of technology. The purpose of this scoping review is to provide an overview of research on tools for measuring digital citizenship competency among school children. This scoping study focuses on three main areas: (a) defining digital citizenship and competency; (b) instrument development and characteristics; and (c) key findings. The main outcomes of this research may help students, teachers, and school administrators implement digital citizenship education programs in schools.
