Abstract

Digital citizenship is an essential component of technology education. This study aimed to provide evidence for digital citizenship education by exploring Chinese undergradutes' perceptions of digital citizenship. An online questionnaire survey on digital citizenship was carried out in universities of mainland China, and 227 students responded to the survey. Statistics implied that undergraduates ‘ perceptions of digital citizenship were generally rated as barely satisfactory. Compared with ethics and fluency in digital environment, Chinese undergraduates performed poorly on self-identity and online behavior in cyberspace. As to the group differences, our research implied that students' grade levels or disciplinary background showed no significant effect on their perceptions of digital citizenship, while female students had higher perceptions of ethics in the digital environments than that of male students. Based on the analysis, the paper suggests future work to improve undergraduates' digital citizenship perceptions and practices.

调查大学生对数字公民的认知:一项来自中国的调查

数字公民是技术教育的重要组成部分。本研究旨在探讨中国大学生对数字公民的认知，为数字公民教育提供依据。一项关于数字公民的在线问卷调查在中国大陆的大学进行，共有227名学生参与了调查。统计数据表明，大学生对数字公民的看法通常被评为勉强令人满意。与数字环境中的道德和流畅性相比，中国大学生在网络空间中的自我认同和网络行为表现较差。在群体差异方面，我们的研究表明，学生的年级水平和学科背景对他们的数字公民意识没有显著影响，而女生对数字环境中的道德观念的感知高于男生。在此基础上，本文提出了改善大学生数字公民认知和实践的未来工作。
