Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of student engagement and selfefficacy on digital citizenship among college freshmen. To this end, correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted on 219 freshman basic compulsory courses students at a four-year I university located in Incheon Metropolitan City from 8 May 2023 to 10 May 2023. The results are as follows. First, student engagement and self-efficacy of college freshmen were significantly correlated with cognitive, justice, and behavioural dimensions of digital citizenship. Second, when examining the impact of student engagement and self-efficacy on digital citizenship of college freshmen, it was found that academic challenge, peers and learning, effective teaching, and self-regulatory efficacy and confidence of self-efficacy explained 46% of the cognitive dimension and 41% of the justice dimension. In addition, academic challenge, peers and learning, effective teaching, and self-regulatory efficacy of self-efficacy explained 46% of the behavioural component of student engagement. The findings of this study can be applied to the design of educational programs at the undergraduate level to foster digital citizenship.
