Abstract
More than a decade after Prensky’s influential articulation of digital natives and immigrants,
disagreement exists around these characterizations of students and the impact of such notions
within higher education. Perceptions of today’s undergraduate learners as tech-savvy “digital
natives” (Prensky, 2001a), who both want and need the latest emerging technologies in all
learning situations, continue to dominate the discourse in educational technology research and
practice. Popular yet controversial conceptions of digital natives continue to be embedded within
the assumptions of several contemporary research studies on student perceptions of emerging
technologies, seemingly without regard for a growing body of evidence questioning such
notions. In order to promote critical discussion in the higher education community considering
potential directions for further research of these issues, especially within the Canadian context,
the purpose of this review of recent literature is to analyze key themes and issues emerging from
contemporary research on the Net generation as digital natives. |
