‘쓰기 윤리’를 매개로 한 ‘디지털 리터러시 글쓰기’ 교육 과정 및 사례 연구

Abstract

‘Digital Literacy’ refers to a capability to evaluate and judge reliability of diverse information distributed through digital networks, and to change this to knowledge that is necessary to individuals by sorting out, selecting, editing, and processing. With the rapid development in information and communication technology and the diversification of digital media apparatus and platforms, this digital literacy is being more highlighted. But the use of digital medial among writing learners is still at its primary stage to check and transfer information and knowledge. As a result, the failure in invigoration of digital literacy in a very true sense is making it impossible to extend independent writing. The introduction and the cultivation of ‘writing ethics’ that this paper focuses on, can be a drive to extend writing, since it facilitates critical thinking and independent writing itself. This study pays attention to the mediating role of writing ethics and its effect on digital literacy writing, rather than putting essential emphasis on it in a primary sense. When it comes to using digital literacy as a previous step of writing, writing ethics is part of the solution for a critical mind on how to boost critical thinking and independent expression, which are fundamental issues in writing. Writing ethics education and learning enhance discernment of digital information, naturally leads to critical thinking and independent writing, and invigorates digital literacy again. Ultimately, a virtuous circle is formed in this way.
