This article examines the integration of digital ethics and digital literacy education into the Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge (RCMK) curriculum within the scope of the Turkish Century Education Model. Digital ethics addresses how ethical behavior and decisions should be made in digital environments, while digital literacy encompasses individuals' ability to use digital tools effectively and efficiently.
The main documents of the study include the General Presentation Document of the Turkish Century Education Model, the Common Text of the Turkish Century Education Model Curricula, and the RCMK Curricula (grades 4-8 and 9-12). The findings show that the curricula of the Turkish Century Education Model are in line with the basic principles emphasized in the literature on digital ethics and digital literacy education. In particular, students are expected to acquire the skills to exhibit ethical behavior in the digital world, to critically evaluate digital content, and to take digital security measures.
These findings reveal that digital ethics and digital literacy education goes beyond merely providing knowledge and skills, and aims to ensure that students grow up as conscious and responsible individuals in the digital world. The article emphasizes the importance of digital ethics education and contributes to academic studies in this field. In addition, it is stated that the approach of the curricula of the Turkish Century Education Model on digital ethics and digital literacy education aims to increase students' ability to cope with the ethical problems they face in the digital world.
