Distance olympiad for students of grades VII—IX "The ethical and legal foundations of interaction in social networks"

Abstract

Communication of schoolchildren in social networks, on the one hand, contributes to their socialization and the development of communication skills, but, on the other hand, creates socially dangerous precedents and threats. The new Federal State Educational Standard for Basic General Education actualizes the importance of developing ethical and legal norms for interaction on the Internet among schoolchildren. On the distance learning portal of the Omsk region in March 2022, a distance Olympiad was held for schoolchildren of grades VII—IX. The Olympiad included a set of tasks on the following topics: "Digital footprint", "Ethical foundations of communication in social networks", "Personal data", "Legal foundations of interaction in social networks". The tasks were presented in a test form with automated verification. A number of tasks contained real situations from the practice of schoolchildren's communication in social networks. The tasks on the concept of a digital footprint, active and passive digital footprint, as well as questions about the legal framework caused the greatest difficulties for the participants of the Olympiad.
