Abstract
This paper explores the effectiveness of existing conceptions of digital citizenship education (DCE) to address the challenges and issues of postdigital societies. Current conceptions of DCE aim to develop learners who are capable of using digital technologies to their advantage or for the betterment of society. However, existing DCE approaches do not fully acknowledge the relational space between humans and digital technologies. Applying postdigital theory to DCE forefronts sociotechnical relations and the issues citizens face in postdigital societies. Using the Aotearoa New Zealand context as an example, digital citizenship policies and guidelines are unpacked to reveal the shortcomings of the guidance schools and teachers are offered. The analysis suggests ways to update current DCE approaches to reflect the realities of citizenship in continuously developing, complex postdigital societies.

New Zealand Journal of Education Studies (NZJES) is the journal of the New Zealand Association for Research in Education. Since 1966, NZJES has published research of relevance to both the Aotearoa New Zealand and international education communities. NZJES publishes original research and scholarly writing that is insightful and thought provoking. NZJES seeks submissions of empirical (qualitative and quantitative) and non-empirical articles, including those that are methodologically or theoretically innovative, as well as scholarly essays and book reviews. The journal is multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary in approach, and committed to the principles and practice of biculturalism. In accordance with that commitment, NZJES welcomes submissions in either Maori or English, or the inclusion of the paper abstract in both English and Maori. NZJES also welcomes international submissions that shed light on matters of interest to its readership and that include reference to Aotearoa New Zealand authors and/or contexts. The journal also welcomes proposals for Special Themed Sections, which are groups of related papers curated by guest editors.NZJES is indexed in Scopus and ERIC. All articles have undergone rigorous double blind peer review by at least two expert reviewers, who are asked to adhere to the ‘Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers’ published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
