Past event
What is Digital Citizenship anyway? Where does it fit in the curriculum – is it Computer Science, or is it Citizenship & PSHE? Where does it sit in the wider life of the school, whether in the devices children bring into school, or the data systems that track their grades, movements and even fingerprints for the benefit of schools, inspectorate and corporate developers?
Ethical concerns have ramped up in the Tech sector in recent years, codified at summits such as the Zanzibar Declaration and the Rome Call for Ethical A.I. but up until now there has been little interaction between the world of education and digital ethics.
Drawing on normative perspectives, school ethnographies across the 4 UK nations, and participatory co-creation approaches, Teaching for Digital Citizenship is a large ESRC-funded project which seeks to refurbish a workable and coherent moral education for justice in a digital world.
This event began by presenting the results of the first phase of the project’s work, a survey of secondary school teachers across the UK, showing how they understand the main challenges facing young people in the digital world today, how and where they address them in the life of the school.
