Teaching for Digital Citizenship: Digital ethics in the classroom and beyond
The Project
This project responds to the challenges and opportunities young people face in a fast-paced digitally connected world, investigating the ways that digital citizenship is enacted in secondary schools across the UK.
This project sets out to codesign and evaluate new resources to address young people’s needs in relation to a digitally connected world. Combining the expertise of philosophers of education and data justice, ethnography and digital social science, the project has already brought together the teacher, policy and Ed Tech sectors and gathered perspectives from young people, in order to understand the aims, challenges and practices of teaching for digital citizenship in secondary schools across the nations of the UK. Together with our co-researchers, we seek to refurbish a workable and coherent moral education for the challenges of citizenship in the digital world. To understand the impact of these pressures and bridge gaps between horizon scanning and pedagogical practice, this project employs a multi-stage model involving expert conversations, surveys, in-depth multi-site ethnographies and participatory co-design.
