A model for children’s digital citizenship in India, Korea, and Australia: Stakeholder engagement principles
This white paper communicates research activities and findings investigating digital safety and digital citizenship through multistakeholder collaborations in three countries—India, South Korea, and Australia. Performed by an Edith Cowan University-based research team from the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child, supported by the LEGO Group, this research additionally responds to many recent policy and practice reviews arguing for institutional and policy engagement in the Asia Pacific (APAC) that build children’s digital safety, literacy and citizenship. These include the UNESCO data-driven report, Digital Kids Asia Pacific (DKAP): Insights into children’s digital citizenship (UNESCO, 2019), an earlier UNESCO review of policy, Building digital citizenship in Asia Pacific through safe, effective and responsible use of ICT (UNESCO, 2016) and a UNICEF scoping paper, Digital literacy for children (Nascimbeni & Vosloo, 2019). These reports highlight the importance of stakeholders engaging with new ways to foster digital literacy and digital citizenship..
Children’s digital citizenship project: Your perspectives: A report for children
This report talks about a teamwork project between the LEGO Group, the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child (Digital Child) and Edith Cowan University (ECU).
In 2022, the LEGO Group, ECU and Digital Child researchers teamed up to ask children and adults in India, Korea and Australia about digital citizenship. We collected all this information together and compared our results, and then made some suggestions about how we can all do things better to help kids be safer, smarter, and happier online
Children’s perspectives of digital citizenship in India, Korea and Australia: Report of findings from children’s digital citizenship and safety roundtables
This report presents data and findings from Phase Two of the research project Digital Safety and Citizenship Roundtables. In this phase, which focuses on children’s perspectives of digital safety and digital citizenship, three child-focused, play-based roundtables were held in Seoul (Korea), Delhi (India) and Perth (Australia) respectively in the months of June and July 2022, with 48 children in total contributing their perspectives. Qualitative data was collected from these child participants through 90-minute play-based roundtables featuring three sections: a short introductory drawing activity using prompt cards; a discussion regarding the children’s understanding of digital citizenship; and a LEGO play activity in which participants were asked to reflect upon the discussion points and respond to this by building a LEGO creation..
Contexts for children’s digital citizenship in India, Korea and Australia: A literature review
Children’s digital citizenship today: In an increasingly digitised and technically mediated world, an individual’s digital citizenship, or “ability to use digital technology and media in safe, responsible and ethical ways” (DQ Institute, 2019) has never been more relevant, particularly when it concerns our youngest digital citizens. Navigating online spaces safely and confidently are skills fundamental to a modern individual’s social and emotional development, education, work and play. A digital citizen’s abilities, however, are greatly impacted by notions of access; not just physical access, but also access mediated culturally and socio-economically. Less is known about very young children’s experiences of digital citizenship, and with recent pandemic related events accelerating a move to even greater online engagement, challenges posed to children’s digital citizenship development require thoughtful, child-led, culturally nuanced, and research-based solutions
On the Chiral Phase Transition in the Linear Sigma Model
The Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis (CJT) effective action for composite operators
at finite temperature is used to investigate the chiral phase transition within
the framework of the linear sigma model as the low-energy effective model of
quantum chromodynamics (QCD). A new renormalization prescription for the CJT
effective action in the Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation is proposed. A
numerical study, which incorporates both thermal and quantum effect, shows that
in this approximation the phase transition is of first order. However, taking
into account the higher-loop diagrams contribution the order of phase
transition is unchanged.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure
Magnetic-field-induced reduction of the exciton polarization splitting in InAs quantum dots
By the application of an in-plane magnetic field, we demonstrate control of
the fine structure polarisation splitting of the exciton emission lines in
individual InAs quantum dots. The selection of quantum dots with certain
barrier composition and confinement energies is found to determine the magnetic
field dependent increase or decrease of the separation of the bright exciton
emission lines, and has enabled the splitting to be tuned to zero within the
resolution of our experiments. Observed behaviour allows us to determine
g-factors and exchange splittings for different types of dots.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
Single-photon-emitting diodes: a review
Compact and reliable sources of non-classical light could find many
applications in emerging technologies such as quantum cryptography, quantum
imaging and also in fundamental tests of quantum physics. Single self-assembled
quantum dots have been widely studied for this reason, but the vast majority of
reported work has been limited to optically excited sources. Here we discuss
the progress made so far, and prospects for, electrically driven
single-photon-emitting diodes (SPEDs).Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure
