This study aimed to develop digital citizenship skills among visually impaired university students. To achieve this, the researchers employed Edmodo as an electronic learning platform, utilizing both descriptive and quasi-experimental methodologies. The primary sample of the study comprised 20 visually impaired students from Beni Suef University, divided into two groups: the experimental group with 10 students, and the control group with 10 students. To conduct the study and achieve the desired objectives, the researchers developed a Digital Citizenship Skills Scale. Additionally, a quasi-experimental intervention was designed, titled “Edmodo as an E-learning platform,” and applied to the experimental group. Statistical analyses revealed significant differences between the mean rank scores of the experimental group in the pre-test and post-test assessments on the Digital Citizenship Skills Scale (both dimensions and overall score), in favor of the post-test, with a standard score of 2.805. This indicates the effectiveness of Edmodo in enhancing digital citizenship skills among visually impaired university students. Furthermore, the results showed no statistically significant differences between the mean rank scores of the experimental group in the post-test and follow-up assessments on the Digital Citizenship Skills Scale (both dimensions and overall score), with a standard score of 1.046, suggesting the sustained effectiveness of the proposed E-learning platform in developing these skills.

摘要

This study aimed to develop digital citizenship skills among visually impaired university students. To achieve this, the researchers employed Edmodo as an electronic learning platform, utilizing both descriptive and quasi-experimental methodologies. The primary sample of the study comprised 20 visually impaired students from Beni Suef University, divided into two groups: the experimental group with 10 students, and the control group with 10 students. To conduct the study and achieve the desired objectives, the researchers developed a Digital Citizenship Skills Scale. Additionally, a quasi-experimental intervention was designed, titled “Edmodo as an E-learning platform,” and applied to the experimental group. Statistical analyses revealed significant differences between the mean rank scores of the experimental group in the pre-test and post-test assessments on the Digital Citizenship Skills Scale (both dimensions and overall score), in favor of the post-test, with a standard score of 2.805. This indicates the effectiveness of Edmodo in enhancing digital citizenship skills among visually impaired university students. Furthermore, the results showed no statistically significant differences between the mean rank scores of the experimental group in the post-test and follow-up assessments on the Digital Citizenship Skills Scale (both dimensions and overall score), with a standard score of 1.046, suggesting the sustained effectiveness of the proposed E-learning platform in developing these skills.
