Session: The Role of Digital Literacy in IT
Digital literacy, under a wide variety of names, is routinely classified as a 21st-century skill and is frequently reported as an area of high priority in education systems internationally. In comparison with students in other countries. Zambian students have high levels of access to digital technologies both at and outside of school. With this access comes the expectations that students will be highly-proficient users of digital technologies and that schools will use digital technologies in transformative ways to support student learning. This session will examine how concepts of digital literacy have developed over time, what data from large-scale assessments of student digital literacy tell us about students’ learning in this area (both in Zambian and across countries) including how it has changed over time. We will also reflect on the differences between the rhetoric and the realities of digital literacy and what these mean for the future direction of this critical area of learning.Key Takeaways
- Digital literacy, Digital technology, Technology Integration
