韩国青少年数字公民类型及其与网络伦理的关系:对批判型数字公民教育的启示

Korean Adolescents’Profiles of Digital Citizenship and Its Relations to Internet Ethics:Implications for Critical Digital Citizenship Education

通过对来自韩国455名初中生和高中生的调查数据进行潜在剖面分析,从而确定青少年的数字公民类型,探讨数字公民类型与网络伦理之间的关系。结果显示:数字公民类型分为三种——交流型数字公民、技术文盲但政治活跃型数字公民和全面型数字公民;性别、数字公民教育背景、社交媒体发帖频率、网络自我效能感和网络焦虑是青少年数字公民类型的显著预测因素;在不同的数字公民类型间,网络伦理存在显著的均值差异。本研究有助于实施差异化的数字公民教育计划和制定不同的教育策略。
