Abstract

This qualitative study has investigated how a group of bilingual university students in Hong Kong understand digital citizenship and construct it through digital literacy practices in social media. Drawing on interview data and examples of digital activity shared by the students, we adopt the theories of digital literacies and translanguaging and transsemiotizing to reveal how they construct digital citizenship through an complex interplay between several factors, most prominently (1) a variety of digitally mediated social, cultural and educational practices the students engage in, (2) their agency of deploying diverse linguistic and semiotic recourses to achieve varied communicative effects in different settings and (3) their personal pursuits of intellectual and professional development and social engagement in a digitalized and globalized society. We then discuss how the findings can enrich our understanding of digital citizenship and its relationship with digital literacies in a multilingual and multicultural context such as Hong Kong. The implications for digital citizenship education are also discussed.

从数字素养实践的角度考察大学生数字公民的发展:一个跨语言和跨符号化的视角

本定性研究调查了一群香港双语大学生如何通过社交媒体上的数字素养实践来理解和构建数字公民。根据采访数据和学生分享的数字活动实例，我们采用数字素养、跨语言和传播理论来揭示他们如何通过几个因素之间的复杂相互作用来构建数字公民，最突出的是(1)学生参与的各种数字媒介的社会、文化和教育实践;(2)他们在不同环境中运用不同语言和符号学资源以实现不同交际效果的能力;(3)他们在数字化和全球化社会中对智力和专业发展以及社会参与的个人追求。然后，我们将讨论研究结果如何丰富我们对数字公民的理解，以及在香港这样一个多语言和多元文化的背景下，数字公民与数字素养的关系。对数字公民教育的影响也进行了讨论。
