Abstract

The need to develop digital citizenship skills has become crucial in the ever-changing realm of education. To understand how digital citizenship education equips students with the skills they need for ethical behaviour, responsible technology use, and productive online participation, it is important to study this topic. The study worked on two objectives a) to explain the concept of Digital Citizenship Education, b) to reveal the impact of digital citizenship education on academic success by reviewing literature. This paper embarks on a comprehensive review of existing literature, comprising studies and research articles published in various academic journals. The findings show that programs promoting digital citizenship are increasingly acknowledged to have a positive impact on students' academic performance, cognitive abilities, and general learning outcomes. Education is the key to driving society's digital transformation, and technology is essential to enhancing educational outcomes and processes.
