The results of the study have found that the affective level of student digital citizens is high, with a mean value of 4.46 with a standard deviation of 0.43. The effect of understanding digital citizenship can produce excellent and prudent digital citizens. The findings have shown that the awareness of students according to the concept of REP shapes students into ethical and responsible digital citizens online.
