This study was aimed to discuss the direction of digital citizen education for university students.
For this study, it analyzed the preceding researches about digital citizenship. We also have examined the trends of digital citizen education at home and abroad and the curriculum opening states of Digital Citizen Education of 5 local universities. Overseas Digital Citizen Education is mainly organized with a focus on K-12 education, and it is partly reflected in the curriculum of local elementary and secondary education. In the case of digital citizen education at local universities, two universities have digital literacy curriculum, however the contents of digital citizenship were not included. Therefore, in this study, five digital citizenship factors(Internet Political Activism, Technical Skills, Critical Perspective, Collaboration and Communication, Local/Global Awareness) identified in the previous research were selected as the goals of citizen education of the university.
This is presented as a teaching method that can be used with educational factors such as awareness, skills/ability, and action/behavior. In addition, I proposed the application of the digital teaching method to the curriculum of the liberal arts and major curriculums as a way of citizen education for college students. We also suggested a way to run digital civic education as an extracurricular program. Based on this research, we expect that a concrete digital citizen education model will be developed in accordance with the educational goals and characteristics of universities.
