Abstract

The study examined the degree to which digital citizenship has been incorporated into the Social Studies curriculum and evaluated the role of deliberative processes in this integration. The research process involved collaboration with teachers, students, curriculum specialists, and school administrators, all actively participating in curriculum deliberation. A design research approach was used with the primary focus on developing a framework for integrating digital citizenship into the curriculum. The study's findings underscored the value of integrating digital citizenship as it equips students for the digital era and fosters comprehensive development. It is recommended that digital citizenship be included in the Social Studies curriculum. Future studies should assess the effectiveness of this integration across various subject areas and educational settings.
