Citizenship Education in Forming Responsible Digital Citizens

Abstract

In the digital era, citizens' lives have changed, interactions now not only occur directly, but also through social media and other online platforms. Unfortunately, this development also brings challenges, such as hoaxes, cyberbullying, and privacy violations. This article discusses how Citizenship Education (PKn) can be a solution to form wise and responsible digital citizens. With a literature study approach, this article reviews various relevant literature. The results of the study show that PKn plays an important role in instilling digital literacy, critical thinking, and media ethics. Through PKn, students not only learn about the state and law, but also how to behave politely, safely, and be aware of responsibility in the digital world. Therefore, PKn remains relevant amidst the challenges of the times and can form active and positive citizens, both in the real and virtual worlds.
