Digital Literacy Project
Argentina
Objective
Design and implement, through participation, a pedagogical digital literacy device with a rights-based approach, adapted to the local context of Aristóbulo del Valle.
Problem Statement
In Misiones, more than 35% of households lack quality internet access, and many students reach secondary school without digital tools. Schools need pedagogical devices that address digital citizenship, online safety and critical use of technologies and artificial intelligence, built with the educational community rather than imposed from outside.
Components and Activities
- Participatory co-design of the pedagogical device with teachers, students, municipal stakeholders, researchers and civil society.
- Survey and analysis of adolescents' digital consumption in participating schools, led by the UNaM/CONICET research team.
- Piloting of the device in secondary schools of Aristóbulo del Valle with different institutional profiles.
- Teacher training and accompaniment on digital citizenship, online safety and critical use of technologies and artificial intelligence.
- Systematization and validation of results to produce a methodological document transferable at provincial level.
Target Group
Adolescents and young people from public secondary schools in the municipality of Aristóbulo del Valle, Misiones. The device also involves teachers, families and community stakeholders.
