A STUDY ON THE NECESSITY OF INTERNET ETHICS EDUCATION AND DIGITAL LITERACY EDUCATION

In the case of the digital generation that has grown up in a digital society, much of daily life takes place in cyberspace. It is necessary for the digital generation to participate in cyber culture, properly select what they need so called digital literacy, and provide training for their own purpose. In order to live, learn, and work in a digital society, each individual must have the appropriate digital literacy skills and attitudes. This study aims to verify the necessity of digital literacy education in cyberspace education. By adding the element of digital literacy to Internet ethics education, the level of ethical consciousness of the experimental group that conducted the class was further improved than that of the control group. In the future, it is expected that the element of digital literacy education will be a driving force in more systematic and active social ethics issues in solving and planning ethical issues.
