Digital citizenship among university students A field study at Diyala University

Abstract

The aim of the current research is to identify digital citizenship among university students, and the significance of statistical differences in digital citizenship according to the gender variable (male-female). The apparent validity and the validity of the structure were verified, and the reliability was verified by the re-test method, as the reliability rate was (0.82), while the reliability coefficient by the Alpha Cro-Nabach method was (0.82), and then the scale was applied to the basic research sample consisting of (400) Male and female students from the University of Diyala and from both scientific and human specializations for the morning studies. The research sample was chosen in a stratified random manner with a proportional distribution and when processing the study data statistically (t-test for one sample, Pearson's correlation coefficient, t-test for two independent samples, and the Vachronbach equation). The research sample individuals have high digital citizenship compared to the theoretical average of the scale and with significant differences, and digital citizenship is not affected by gender (males-females), as it is one for both. In light of the results, the current research came out with a number of recommendations and proposals
