Abstract

Abstract This comparative cultural study examines differences in digital citizenship between undergraduate information literacy students at two different, but similar, universities across the globe from each other. Under the notion that the internet and prevalence of mobile devices allow students to participate online as digital citizens in ways that were impossible before, we use mixed methods to compare the attitudes and experiences of undergraduate students at a university in the midwestern United States (U.S.), with a university on the southwestern coast of Ghana. We also examine the policies related to technology use at these schools. The findings indicate that Ghanaian students had higher levels of digital citizenship. Other findings suggest that network issues are a problem for students in both schools, especially for Ghana, and ethical aspects of internet use, like cyberbullying, hacking, and fake news, deter students from participating online as much as they would like.

数字公民的学生体验:一项比较文化研究
摘要:本比较文化研究考察了全球两所不同但相似的大学的本科信息素养学生在数字公民身份方面的差异。鉴于互联网与行动装置的普及,让学生能以前所未见的方式参与线上数位公民活动,我们使用混合方法,比较美国中西部大学与迦纳西南海岸大学本科生的态度与经验。我们还研究了这些学校与技术使用相关的政策。调查结果表明,加纳学生的数字公民意识水平更高。其他研究结果表明,网络问题对两所学校的学生来说都是一个问题,尤其是对加纳来说,互联网使用的道德方面,如网络欺凌、黑客攻击和假新闻,阻碍了学生尽可能多地参与在线活动。
