Abstract

The way digital information and communication technologies are discussed and taught in a school environment may not systematically include the debate about the impact on ethical behavior. The preference is to present them as a tool for studies, engagement or entertainment, but its use at an earlier age presents cyberculture to a person in moral development, with implications still little explored since it is a recent phenomenon. The objective of this article is to analyze reactions to ethical and moral situations in the use of digital information and communication technologies by college students who were exposed to the internet at the age of moral development. From a quantitative approach, this paper includes a brief explanation of moral development theories and presents the results of a study with 308 participants in situations such as piracy, plagiarism and cyberbullying. It was possible to identify divergence in behavior due to the media used. It also highlights the importance of institutions maintaining appropriate networks to address problems related to the inadequate use of the Internet, and indicates educommunication to overcome this challenge and progress of local and global human development.
