Abstract
The overall objective of this study is to explore and discuss the transformation of digital literacy education policy and its classroom implementation in Thailand. The research discusses the results of a study concerning digital usage and digital literacy using Thai children`s opinions and those of their computer teachers. The study argues that the tension around childhood ideologies, between local and international agencies, inflects a hegemonic discursive framing of digital literacy in education. There is a gap between the actual risks and challenges associated with children’s digital media practice and the ways their schooling approaches digital literacy. The study demonstrates that many Thai children regularly take responsible risks, and build resilience for themselves, in the online world. The educational environment has been dominated by childhood ideologies in the Thai context and by the neo-liberal educational philosophy put forward by international theorists. The study suggests that educational policy and practice needs to bere-conceptualized. This applies both between children and adults, and the local and international agencies.
