Authors : Benyahia Amel .

Abstract

We live in an era where the Internet occupies a major part in our lives. It is common sense nowadays that the world has turned to a small village and we are indeed its digital citizens. Like any society, citizens exchange information, share responsibilities, and engage in different forms of interaction guided by certain social, cultural, and religious norms. Like all students, Algerian university students use the internet for study and leisure activities. The aim of this paper is to investigate Algerian university students, more specifically Ecole Normale Supérieure of Constantine (ENSC) pre-service teachers’ understanding of the concept ‘Digital Citizenship’ as well as their perceptions, practices, and the degree of their awareness of their rights and duties as digital citizens. Data was collected through an online questionnaire administered to students of the English department at l’ENSC and answered by 102 students representing different grade levels. Results of the survey indicate that all participants in the study have easy access to digital tools primarily smart phones and personal computers. These two devices are respectively used for entertainment and study purposes. Though the majority of students indicated that the term ‘Digital Citizenship’ is new for them, they have shown an acceptable degree of awareness about appropriate and inappropriate behaviors in relation to internet and technology use.
