CIVIC EDUCATION BETWEEN DIGITAL PLATFORMS AND NEW FORMS OF CITIZENSHIP: A CASE STUDY

The datafication, starting with the spread of digital artefacts in schools, has opened up research fronts intercepting the study of educational practices, involving teachers and students, in a citizenship framework. In the Italian context, law no. 92/2019 introduces the transversal teaching of civic education that looks both at participatory citizenship for the appropriate use of digital technologies, and at the management and protection of the data produced by the same technologies.
