Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between ICT utilization and digital citizenship among social sciences students at Valencia College Inc., Valencia City, Bukidnon, during the second semester of the 2023-2024 school year. It involved 205 college students selected through simple random sampling. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study utilized questionnaires adapted from PISA (2009) and Nordin (2026) to measure ICT utilization and digital citizenship, respectively. Mean, standard deviation, and Pearson product-moment correlation were used for data analysis. Results indicated frequent internet usage and ICT purpose among students, suggesting a high engagement level with digital technology for various tasks and activities. However, device preferences and digital skills were rated as sometimes, indicating variability in device usage and proficiency levels. Nonetheless, students spent a significant amount of time utilizing digital devices, reflecting technology's pervasive integration into their daily routine. Additionally, students demonstrated a high level of digital citizenship, exhibiting responsible, ethical, and respectful behavior in online interactions. A significant relationship was found between ICT utilization and digital citizenship, with strong correlations observed for internet usage, device preferences, ICT purpose, digital skills, and time spent. Therefore, instructors are encouraged to continue promoting digital citizenship education within their curriculum, emphasizing the importance of responsible online behavior and providing guidance on proper social media etiquette.
