Abstract:
This study analyzed the way Digital Citizenship Skills relate to Public Elementary School Teachers’ perceptions about Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) in Bambang II District, Division of Nueva Vizcaya for the academic year 2025-2026. It identified the level of Digital Citizenship Skills of the Teachers; measured Teachers’ views toward DGBL in terms of knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes; and tested the relationship between these measures. Quantitative research methodology was applied using the descriptive-correlational method. There were 103 public elementary school teachers who were sampled by means of stratified random sampling. Data was collected utilizing two modified instruments: the Digital Citizenship Skills Scale developed on Mike Ribble’s framework and a Digital Game-Based Learning questionnaire developed on the Technology Acceptance Model. Statistical tools such as Mean, Standard Deviation, and Spearman’s rho Correlation Coefficient were utilized to analyze the data. Teachers were shown to possess a high degree of Digital Citizenship Skills and exhibit positive perspectives toward the utilization of Digital Game-Based Learning in Education. Digital Etiquette had the highest mean, and Digital Literacy the lowest mean of the four dimensions of Digital Citizenship Skills. Teachers were also shown to be at a high level of perception and attitudes toward Digital Game-Based Learning, though there is slight variation among the three. Further, each of the four dimensions of Digital Citizenship Skills was found to be significantly positively related to Teachers’ perspectives toward Digital Game-Based Learning; thus, emphasizing the need to strengthen Teachers’ Digital Citizenship Competency so as to support effective technology integration in elementary education.
