Abstract

Scholarship has examined media literacy and digital citizenship in various ways, yet limited research has examined connections between these concepts, which may have implications for teaching and learning. This case study investigated 111 preservice teachers’ perspectives on media literacy, digital citizenship, and their relationship via examining their responses to essay questions. Data analysis revealed central themes in their perceptions of media literacy, digital citizenship, and their relationship, which aligned with both empowerment and protectionist perspectives of media and digital engagement. This study illuminates relational understandings of media literacy and digital citizenship and demonstrates the value of teaching them in concert.
