Analysing Islamic Curricula in View of Digital Citizenship

This study is aimed at determining the inclusion scope of the nine digital citizenship dimensions within the content material of a jurisprudence course at the high school level in Saudi Arabia. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers designed a digital citizenship checklist listing the dimensions that must be included in the high school jurisprudence course. The list encompassed the following nine areas: digital arrival, digital-physical fitness and morals, digital rights and responsibilities, digital telecommunications, digital laws, digital health and safety, digital trade, and digital security. A descriptive content analysis was used to examine the data. Based on the results of the study, several findings were revealed. The most significant ones were: a) not enough dimensions were included in the Digital Citizenship Jurisprudence Course, b) the digital citizenship dimensions involved in the course were not balanced. Based on the findings of the study, the researchers designed a framework for the digital citizenship dimensions and introduced several recommendations and suggestions.
