Social and Cultural Connotation of Youth Digital Literacy and Its Educational Implications
As digital media has gradually integrated into our daily life,digital literacy becomes an essential competence for children,which has gained worldwide attention unprecedentedly.However,digital literacy education in most countries may mainly focus on the cultivation of young people's mastery of digital technologies in a safe and effective manner,without enough emphasis on the social and cultural attributes of digital literacy.This digital literacy education cannot achieve ideal outcomes as it lacks of connection with young people's actual life.Taken the interactions at the Weibo community as an example,this study identifies that a complete digital literacy should contain two aspects:general skills of using digital technologies and the code of conduct used at digital communities with social and cultural connotation.It then suggests that we should expand the contents of digital literacy education in accordance with young people's real digital life,which should also been included into their classes to improve the current digital literacy education.
