The teaching of social sciences for digital citizenship. Interdisciplinary study of media literacy on the curricula of Secondary Education

This article presents the results of a lexicometric and content study carried out in the curricula of different subjects of secondary education whose objective has been to demonstrate the regulatory changes in digital competence. Above all, we are interested in Internet security aspects that also include privacy. For this, the regional decrees of secondary education that derive from Or- ganic Law 2/2006 of May 3 (LOE), and Organic Law 2/2013 of December 9 (LOMCE) have been analyzed, from three areas of media literacy: digital training, processing and treatment of information and critical thinking. The most recent Royal Decree 217/2022 of March 29 of the new Organic Law 3/2020 of Modification of the LOE (LOMLOE) has also been assessed. Fi- nally, contrasting the results with the literature consulted, we come to understand the importance of digital security and privacy in secondary education from three areas of media and information literacy: instrumental training, understanding and analysis of digital content, and its consumption and production. We conclude on its importance in the training of young people, and we provide some operational ideas for the curricular approach from the social sciences.
