Conceptualizing digital literacies and digital ethics for sustainability education
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the need for integrating a focus on digital literacies
and digital ethics into sustainability education, proposing a conceptualization of these for sustainability
education.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper draws on relevant literature in the field of
sustainability education and in the field of digital literacies and digital ethics. It synthesizes
perspectives in both fields to form a conceptualization of digital literacies and digital ethics for
sustainability education.
Findings – The paper conceptualizes “digital literacies” as a capacity to reflect on the nature of digital
space in relation to sustainability challenges and “digital ethics” as a capacity to reflexively engage with
digital space in ways which build rich discourses around sustainability. Critically reflective and
exploratory activities in digital space are a means of developing these capacities.
Originality/value – The conceptualization allows sustainability education to account for the
increased role digital space plays in shaping views of sustainability challenges. It proposes a
pedagogical approach to doing this.
