Examination of Social Science Teachers' Opinions on Digital Citizenship
Akdag, Hakan
Online Submission, TOJET: The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology spec iss p144-149 Nov 2021
It is possible to specify the concept of "digital", which is defined as "displaying data electronically on a screen" in the Turkish Dictionary, as an area in which human beings are most directly or indirectly affected. The digitalization moves of states with a systematic structure, especially in social issues, can be shown as the best example of this. In this context, developments in technology, communication and scientific studies, as well as showing their effects, made it necessary to reconsider the perception of citizenship in the social sense. The digitization of citizenship in the digital age also lets human beings re-evaluate economic, social and technological conditions. It also tries to determine what kind of position the human being, who is in a rapid and effective change, will be in this process. In this context, it can be stated that the importance of education will increase much more today, as it was in the past, in the integration of human beings, who are social beings, both to the society in which they live and to the world in a universal sense. Considering Turkey in particular, it can be said that the social studies course will be the course that the young individuals will encounter directly in schools within the framework of these issues and within the scope of the research topic. It also emerges that the content of the social studies course should consider the citizenship approach in the digitalized world in the context of the past, present and future of the individuals in this context. It is undeniable that it is important to determine the views of teachers who teach social studies in the teaching dimension about the phenomenon of digital citizenship and to make inferences about it. In this context, the research was shaped in a case study pattern and suggestions were presented within the framework of the results obtained.
