Formative action for the responsible use of the Internet in Primary School

Abstract

Currently, Internet and the need for online presence are part of life. Digital competence therefore is becoming increasingly important and that is why developing strategies to ensure the safe use of the network is the main challenge of digital society. For this reason, ICT policies, programs and laws have been defined over the last decades to incorporate technology in education. However, the Basque Country´s Basic Education curriculum doesn´t aim some capacities that DIGCOMP framework establishes about security. To offset this disadvantage, the work includes the design and evaluation of a formative action for responsible use of the Internet in Primary Education 4th, 5th and 6th grades. The results have been positive and have proved the need to work on digital education in a participatory way.
