Opinions of Social Studies Teachers and 7th-Grade Students Regarding Digital Literacy Skills

Abstract

Digital literacy; It covers the trainings given to have technical, cognitive and sociological skills related to digital environments. In today's world where technology develops and changes very rapidly, it is seen as a necessity to have digital literacy skills in order to adapt to this change process. It is important to gain this skill to individuals through formal education. It is very important that secondary school students, called digital natives, have this skill and that teachers who will teach this skill to students have sufficient knowledge on this subject. For this reason, this study aims to determine the current status of social studies teachers and secondary school 7th grade students, who aim to gain digital literacy skills, regarding digital literacy. In this study, in which the phenomenology method was used, the data were collected with two different interview forms, and the obtained data were analyzed with the content analysis method. In the study, teachers and students expressed digital literacy as accessing, sharing and producing information in the digital environment. In the study conducted during the Covid 19 pandemic process, teachers and students said that they use the EBA platform and social media on the use of digital platforms. Teachers and students shared a common opinion about using correct encryption, antivirus software, and not sharing personal and other information in order to ensure security in digital environments. At the end of the study, it was understood that teachers and students were aware of ethical rules. Teachers stated that there is a need for an expanded curriculum that will also be supported by practical training in social studies course in terms of gaining digital literacy. Teachers also said that the training they received on digital literacy was insufficient and not effective. For this reason, it is recommended to provide more effective and practice-based trainings on digital literacy for teachers. In addition, since the digital literacy process will differ as technology develops, it has been realized that the trainings on this subject should also be updated, and it has been suggested that this issue should be paid attention while giving the trainings.
