Digital Citizenship Learning to Civic Disposition Strengthen in Elementary School

Abstract

The digital era has brought about behavioral changes in various fields, one of which is the degradation of civic character.
Character formation can be done through habituation, especially for elementary school children who have lived in the digital era,
so that good digital skills are needed while still upholding character values. The purpose of this study is to examine the correlation
between Digital Citizenship and the development of Civic Disposition in elementary schools. The research method used is a
literature review by analyzing various current research literature, pedagogical approaches, and empirical results. The results of
the study indicate that digital citizenship learning is integrated into an inquiry-based curriculum, project-based learning, digital
role play, and reflection of faith values in media ethics. The application of Digital Citizenship Learning has proven relevant to
strengthening the civic disposition of elementary school students, because it develops moral awareness, social responsibility, and
ethical behavior in the use of technology. However, there are still gaps in experimental validation in large quantities and
longitudinal evidence. This study recommends that teachers develop digital literacy learning strategies collaboratively to form a
generation that is faithful, digitally savvy, and has strong civic character towards a just and sustainable society, and also provides
implications for policy development.
