HKU Study Reveals Changing Digital Competence During COVID-19 Period Affecting Not Only Academic Learning but also Students’ Wellbeing —
Findings from a Longitudinal Study of Hong Kong Students’ Digital Citizenship Development
A team of researchers from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has conducted a longitudinal study titled “Learning and Assessment for Digital Citizenship” to find out how digital citizenship develops from childhood to early adulthood and the different factors that affect such development. The project lasts for five years and is funded by the Research Grants Council under the Theme-based Research Scheme.
The first wave of data collection was conducted in the 2018/2019 school year, with over 2,000 students from 18 primary schools and 14 secondary schools taking part in the study. The second wave of data collection was conducted from April to July 2021, more than a year after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Analyses show that the changes in students’ digital competence since 2019 have bearings on students’ wellbeing.
In this press conference, Professor Nancy Law, Deputy Director of Centre for Information Technology in Education (CITE),Faculty of Education, HKU, will present the findings including the relationship between students’ digital competence and wellbeing and how these are influenced by family and school factors. Recommendations for action based on the findings will also be discussed.
Members of the media are invited to cover the event. Details are as follows:

香港大學研究顯示冠狀病毒疫情期間學生數碼能力的變化影響其學習及福祉—
香港學生數碼公民縱向研究結果發佈會
香港大學和香港科技大學的研究人員聯合進行一項名為「數碼公民素養的學習與評估」的縱向研究，以了解數碼公民能力從童年到成年的發展，以及影響其發展的因素。該計劃為期五年，並獲得研究資助局主題研究計劃資助。
首輪數據收集已於2018-2019學年完成，獲逾 2,000名分別來自18間小學和14間中學的學生參加。第二輪數據收集則於2021年4月至7月進行（即在新冠疫情爆發一年多之後）。分析顯示自2019年以來，學生數碼能力的變化為其福祉帶來影響。
香港大學教育學院教育應用資訊科技發展研究中心副主任羅陸慧英教授，將於新聞發佈會發表上述計劃的調查結果，當中包括學生的數碼能力與其福祉的關係，以及兩者如何受到家庭和學校因素所影響，並根據研究結果提出實質行動建議。
