  • 1.  Doctoral Research on Digital Citizenship

    Posted 07-24-2022 09:33 PM

    Hello! I am a doctoral student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I am conducting my dissertation research to better understand how math, science, literacy, and social studies teachers integrate digital citizenship concepts into their core content area curriculum. 

    I am looking for participants to complete an audio-recorded Zoom interview with a follow-up digital questionnaire several weeks later. Total participation time should be less than 1.5 hours. If you qualify and complete both the interview and follow-up questionnaire, you will be entered into a drawing for one of five $20 Target gift cards. 

    I am recruiting participants who meet the following criteria:

    • Current K-12 core content area teachers

    • Three or more years of teaching experience 

    • Experience teaching students about digital citizenship through a program or curriculum. 

    Click the link to access the study eligibility questionnaire if you are interested: https://uncc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9NMZpl4RHHcFwhM 

    If you have more questions, please contact Heather Ramsey and dissertation co-chairs Dr. Beth Oyarzun (beth.oyarzun@uncc.edu) and Dr. Drew Polly (drew.polly@uncc.edu) in the Departments of Educational Leadership and Reading & Elementary Education.

    Please share this information with others who may be qualified and interested.

    Thank you!

    Listening to a person that I live with and has struggled to get teachers to integrate this into their curriculum for a decade or so I would say unfortunately often rarely. More often it is left to librarians or a dedicated subject if a school even affords that much time to it. Along with information literacy should be a priority now based upon what is happening in this country.

    That has been my experience too, Brian. I am hopeful that through this research I can find some ways that teachers are successfully integrating digital citizenship informally into lessons. Teachers feel that it's extra work and isn't aligned with what they are teaching, but I believe that it's incredibly important and that we need to find ways to make it relevant. Putting the burden on one teacher or only teaching it for one week each year isn't going to help prepare students for the digital worlds in which they live.
