There have been many attempts to define the generation of students
who emerged with the Web and new digital technologies in the early
1990s. The term "digital native" refers to the generation born
after 1980, which has grown up in a world where digital
technologies and the internet are a normal part of everyday life.
Young people belonging to this generation are therefore supposed to
be "native" to the digital lifestyle, always connected to the
internet and comfortable with a range of cutting-edge technologies.
Deconstructing Digital Natives offers the most balanced,
research-based view of this group to date. Existing studies of
digital natives lack application to specific disciplines or
conditions, ignoring the differences of educational fields and
gender. How, and how much, are learners changing in the digital
age? How can a more pluralistic understanding of these learners be
developed? Contributors to this volume produce an international
overview of developments in digital literacy among today's young
learners, offering innovative ways to steer a productive path
between traditional narratives that offer only complete acceptance
or total dismissal of digital natives.
