Abstract

This paper explores young people’s development of digital literacy and resilience and discusses how teachers and librarians can play an important role in supporting young people to become digital citizens: informed, active, ethical, safe and responsible members of the online society. The research involved the delivery and evaluation of an interactive educational workshops that included an online cartoon series, accompanied by openly available educational toolkits dealing with topics of online resilience and safety in the online environment. The research involved a total of 239 secondary school pupils, across six schools and within a single local authority in Scotland. Anonymous qualitative and quantitative data were collected from the learning activities, which related to young people’s experiences, coping strategies and emotions in the online environment. The workshops empowered young people to open dialogue about challenging situations they experience in their everyday online connectivity and express their needs for further training. This work presents an innovative constructivist learning approach that can be replicated with young people to explore multiple challenges and opportunities they may encounter when navigating their online environment.

“麦迪在线”:为年轻人提供通往数字素养的创造性学习之路

本文探讨了年轻人的数字素养和适应能力的发展，并讨论了教师和图书馆员如何在支持年轻人成为数字公民方面发挥重要作用:成为在线社会中知情、活跃、有道德、安全和负责任的成员。这项研究包括提供和评估一个互动式教育研讨会，其中包括一个在线卡通系列，并附有公开提供的教育工具包，讨论在线环境中的在线弹性和安全问题。这项研究涉及苏格兰一个地方当局的六所学校的239名中学生。从学习活动中收集匿名的定性和定量数据，这些数据与青少年在网络环境中的经历、应对策略和情绪有关。这些讲习班使年轻人能够就他们在日常网络连接中遇到的挑战情况展开对话，并表达他们对进一步培训的需求。这项工作提出了一种创新的建构主义学习方法，可以在年轻人中复制，以探索他们在浏览在线环境时可能遇到的多种挑战和机遇。

期刊介绍： Under the editorship of D. LaMont Johnson, PhD, a nationally recognized leader in the field of educational computing, Computers in the Schools is supported by an editorial review board of prominent specialists in the school and educational setting. Material presented in this highly acclaimed journal goes beyond the “how we did it” magazine article or handbook by offering a rich source of serious discussion for educators, administrators, computer center directors, and special service providers in the school setting. Articles emphasize the practical aspect of any application, but also tie theory to practice, relate present accomplishments to past efforts and future trends, identify conclusions and their implications.
