مستوى الذكاء الرقمي لمرشحي التدريب الميداني بكلية التربية بجامعة السلطان قابوس وعلاقته باتجاهاتهم نحو المواطنة الرقمية
The study investigated the level of digital intelligence of pre-service teachers at the College of Education at Sultan Qaboos University and its relationship to their attitudes towards digital citizenship. Two tools were developed to achieve the objectives of the study: the digital intelligence scale of 32 items, and the digital citizenship scale of 30 items. The study sample consisted of (61) male and female students. The results of the study showed that the level of digital intelligence for the study sample was low, while the level of attitude towards digital citizenship was moderate. Additionally, there were differences in the level of digital intelligence and the trend towards digital citizenship in favor of males, and there were no differences in the level of digital intelligence due to the number of social networking accounts, except for the digital usage dimensions, in favor of those who own 5 or more accounts and the digital rights dimension, in favor of those who own 3 to 4 accounts. Statistically significant differences were found in the level of attitude towards digital citizenship in all dimensions except for the digital ethics, in favor of those who own 5 or more accounts. The findings also indicated a weak positive direct correlation between the level of digital intelligence and the attitude towards digital citizenship. The study recommended that pre-service teacher preparation and in-service professional programs include courses in digital intelligence and digital citizenship, in order to enhance the knowledge, skills, and values of digital intelligence and digital citizenship.
