| Abstract: | Because digital devices are central to everyday life, students need to become good digital citizens. In this study, 646 Grades 4-9 Chinese language arts teachers (85.2% were female), randomly selected from schools in Chongqing China, completed a survey about teaching digital citizenship and students' digital citizenship capabilities. Four out of every five teachers taught digital citizenship, and they were slightly positive about students' digital citizenship capabilities. Teaching digital citizenship was predicted by preparation to teach these skills, teacher certification, teachers' digital capabilities, time spent online at school, frequency of internet use at home, and perceived benefits of internet use. Teachers' judgments of students' digital citizenship capabilities were predicted by preparation to teach these skills, frequency of internet use at home, and perceived benefits of internet use. Teachers' judgments about students' digital citizenship capabilities predicted students' own assessments of these skills. Implications for practice and future research are presented. |
