Effects of a Digital Citizenship Learning Model on Elementary School Students’ Digital Citizenship and Academic Interest.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of a digital citizenship learning model on elementary school students’ digital citizenship and academic interests. Two sixth-grade classes were chosen for the study. The experimental group (n=20) received instruction using the model, while the control group (n=20) received traditional lecture-based instruction. The results demonstrated that the experimental group showed statistically significant improvements in digital citizenship and academic interests compared to the control group. This study firmly established that digital citizenship learning models effectively enhance elementary school students’ digital citizenship and academic interests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
