digital citizenship

The rapid integration of digital technologies into teaching, learning, and assessment has created new avenues through which technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) may occur in school settings. Existing scholarship has examined TFGBV mainly through the lenses of cyberbullying, digital safety, and student well-being. At the same time, emerging work has also begun to conceptualise digital assessment systems as sites of structural and institutional gendered risk. Building on this systems-level perspective, this conceptual paper shifts attention to the pedagogical and interactional layer of digital assessment, examining how teachers' assessment design and oversight decisions may shape the conditions under which TFGBV becomes more or less likely. Developed through a critical interdisciplinary literature review, the paper draws on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, digital citizenship frameworks, and classroom assessment scholarship to examine how learning management systems, peer assessment tools, collaborative online assignments, and social media-integrated assessment activities may create conditions conducive to gendered harassment, image-based abuse, and exclusionary behaviour among learners of all genders. The paper proposes the Assessment-Mediated Digital Ethics (AMDE) framework, a theoretically grounded but not yet empirically validated model integrating gender-responsive assessment design, embedded digital behavioural expectations, and structured teacher oversight. AMDE is presented as a complementary pedagogical extension of existing justice-oriented approaches to digital assessment and TFGBV, rather than as a claim of first conceptualisation. The framework provides a basis for future empirical research examining teacher-mediated assessment practices and their relationship to digital safety, ethical participation, and TFGBV risk across diverse educational contexts. Responsibility for TFGBV prevention is understood as shared among teachers, learners, schools, families, technology providers, and policymakers.

This article examines ethics education in schools in the light of three converging processes: the expansion of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), human rights education, and the growing importance of digital environments in everyday life. It argues that Ethics Education goes beyond the transmission of values and involves issues of justice, participation, care, and recognition. Drawing on recent literature, the article analyzes both the contributions and tensions surrounding CSE as well as the challenges posed by digital citizenship. It concludes that schools currently require a broader political-pedagogical horizon to address these issues in an integrated manner.

This paper presents an educational framework developed to promote the values and skills that business students require to successfully navigate the ethical and environmental challenges in the current digital era. The work focuses on the development of green skills and responsible digital behaviour in business students through innovative and interdisciplinary learning that integrates sustainability principles with digital citizenship. Drawing on a narrative exploration of the literature on digital citizenship, sustainability education, and gamified learning, the paper proposes three educational activities based on playful learning, gamification, business games, and project-based learning. Each activity is based on instructional techniques that promote civic engagement, critical thinking, and reflection about the future social and environmental responsibilities of business managers. By placing business education within the framework of sustainability and digital citizenship, this paper offers teachers and instructors a hands-on approach for developing future graduates who are socially conscious of the impact of their decisions. Rather than presenting empirical findings, the paper provides a conceptual and practice-oriented framework for designing sustainability-oriented and digitally responsible learning experiences in business education.

Transformations in contemporary higher education require a reconsideration of the theoretical and practical foundations of student socialization management. Digital transformation, hybrid learning environments, growing student diversity, changing labour-market expectations, and participatory governance have made socialization a strategic issue in university management. The article aims to systematize contemporary models of student socialization management, identify their managerial potential and limitations, and propose an integrated structural–functional model based on theoretical synthesis. The study employs theoretical and comparative analysis, systematization, generalization, and pedagogical modelling. It argues that effective socialization management cannot be reduced to students’ adaptation to the university environment; rather, it should encompass academic and social integration, a sense of belonging, social and professional competences, professional identity, digital citizenship, self-regulation, and social agency. The proposed model integrates systemic, ecological, student-centred, competence-based, participatory, and digital-ecosystem approaches, thereby providing a more holistic, measurable, and manageable framework for student socialization.

Educational leadership is increasingly recognised as a critical determinant of the quality, relevance and sustainability of education systems. The rapid development of digital technologies, changing learner expectations, increasing demands for accountability, teacher shortages, resource constraints and the emergence of artificial intelligence have expanded the responsibilities of educational leaders beyond traditional administration. This paper discusses the changing educational leadership in the digital age. The paper posits that educational leaders should not merely introduce technology into schools but should create an institutional culture where technology supports teaching, learning, and professional development. The paper notes that digital transformation cannot succeed through technology acquisition alone. Inadequate infrastructure, electricity challenges, digital inequality, limited professional development, resistance to change, weak institutional support, and insufficient leadership preparation may constrain implementation. The paper therefore advocates a context-sensitive model of educational leadership that integrates vision, instructional leadership, digital competence, distributed leadership, ethical practice, teacher development and community engagement. It was suggested that systematic preparation and continuous professional development of educational leaders, investment in digital infrastructure, stronger leadership standards, participatory governance, digital citizenship education, and context-sensitive monitoring of school leadership is important in Nigerian schools. The paper concludes that Nigeria's educational transformation requires leaders who can combine human-centred leadership with technological competence to create schools that are innovative, inclusive, collaborative and focused on meaningful learning

رهبری آموزشی به طور فزاینده‌ای به عنوان یکی از عوامل تعیین‌کننده کیفیت، ارتباط و پایداری نظام‌های آموزشی شناخته می‌شود. توسعه سریع فناوری‌های دیجیتال، تغییر انتظارات یادگیرندگان، افزایش تقاضا برای پاسخگویی، کمبود معلم، محدودیت منابع و ظهور هوش مصنوعی، مسئولیت‌های رهبران آموزشی را فراتر از مدیریت سنتی گسترش داده است. این مقاله به بررسی تحول رهبری آموزشی در عصر دیجیتال می‌پردازد. مقاله مطرح می‌کند که رهبران آموزشی نباید صرفاً فناوری را وارد مدارس کنند، بلکه باید فرهنگی نهادی ایجاد نمایند که در آن فناوری از آموزش، یادگیری و توسعه حرفه‌ای حمایت کند. مقاله تأکید می‌کند که تحول دیجیتال تنها از طریق تهیه فناوری محقق نمی‌شود. زیرساخت ناکافی، مشکلات برق، نابرابری دیجیتال، محدودیت در توسعه حرفه‌ای، مقاومت در برابر تغییر، حمایت نهادی ضعیف و آمادگی ناکافی رهبران می‌تواند اجرای این تحول را محدود کند. بنابراین، مقاله مدل حساس به زمینه‌ای از رهبری آموزشی را پیشنهاد می‌کند که چشم‌انداز، رهبری آموزشی، شایستگی دیجیتال، رهبری توزیعی، رفتار اخلاقی، توسعه معلمان و مشارکت جامعه را ادغام می‌کند. همچنین پیشنهاد شده است که آمادگی نظام‌مند و توسعه حرفه‌ای مستمر رهبران آموزشی، سرمایه‌گذاری در زیرساخت دیجیتال، استانداردهای قوی‌تر رهبری، حکمرانی مشارکتی، آموزش شهروندی دیجیتال و پایش حساس به زمینه رهبری مدارس در مدارس نیجریه اهمیت دارد. مقاله نتیجه می‌گیرد که تحول آموزشی نیجریه نیازمند رهبرانی است که بتوانند رهبری انسان‌محور را با شایستگی فناورانه ترکیب کنند تا مدارسی نوآور، فراگیر، مشارکتی و متمرکز بر یادگیری معنادار ایجاد نمایند.

Digital transformation has increased children's access to information and learning while exposing them to misinformation, privacy violations, inappropriate content, and cyberbullying. These challenges underscore the need for digital literacy education integrating technological competencies with Islamic ethical values. This community engagement program aims to strengthen students' digital literacy and online safety awareness through the Gerakan Anak Cerdas Digital (Smart Digital Children Movement) at SDN 02 Padangjaya. Employing a participatory educational approach, the program delivers a 60-minute training session integrating digital safety principles with Islamic values, including tabayyun (information verification), amanah (trustworthiness), adab (ethical communication), and ukhuwah (solidarity). Learning activities comprise interactive instruction, contextual discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and educational quizzes. Evaluation involves comprehension assessments and observations of student participation. The program is expected to enhance students' understanding of digital risks, responsible internet use, personal data protection, and ethical online interactions. Conceptually, this initiative introduces an integrative framework connecting digital literacy with Islamic character education in primary schools. Practically, it offers a contextual model for promoting safe and responsible digital behavior through collaborative engagement among schools, families, and communities, contributing to the development of ethically grounded digital citizenship among young learners.
