Educazione alla cittadinanza digitale: percorsi per la formazione iniziale degli insegnanti

Abstract

Examining the impact of digital media and artificial intelligence on the skills, behaviors, and responsibilities required to navigate and actively participate in online life is crucial for educating aware and responsible citizens in the contemporary digital context. This research explores the importance of digital citizenship education by analyzing students’ and teachers’ perceptions of their own competencies, to develop effective and targeted training interventions to promote informed and responsible digital citizenship. In doing so, the study aims to understand how promoting critical thinking and ethical awareness can improve the ability to navigate responsibly in the digital landscape. The research involved a thorough analysis of the methodologies, materials, and resources necessary for designing effective training programs in digital citizenship education, as well as the development of assessment tools to measure digital citizenship competencies. Furthermore, it led to the formulation of strategic recommendations to strengthen and support digital citizenship education initiatives, considering the challenges and opportunities generated by the rapid digital evolution.
