在公共话语和在线社区的治理中，年轻人往往被剥夺了代理权。儿童经常被视为需要保护、维护和管理的对象。然而，随着孩子们从很小的时候就上网，他们发展出了公民和政治参与的新形式。儿童利用数字平台的功能，以便与同龄人和社区成员进行讨论、联系和行动。在本文中，我们分析了公民参与Scratch在线，一个创造性的社区，来自世界各地的儿童通过设计和分享互动媒体项目来学习编程。我们探索年轻的Scratch社区成员与全球重要问题以及当地主题和社区治理问题联系的方式。我们开发了一种类型的策略，他们用来表达自己，与同龄人交往，并呼吁采取行动。然后，我们分析了社区的反应，包括其他Scratch成员和成人版主，并从这些例子中吸取关键教训，以描述指导方针，教育工作者和设计师谁愿意支持儿童的权利，公民参与在线学习环境。
In public discourse, and in the governance of online communities, young people are often denied agency. Children are frequently considered objects to protect, safeguard, and manage. Yet as children go online from very early ages, they develop emergent forms of civic and political engagement. Children appropriate the affordances of digital platforms in order to discuss, connect, and act with their peers and in their communities. In this paper, we analyze civic engagement in Scratch Online, a creative community where children from around the world learn programming by designing and sharing interactive media projects. We explore the ways that young Scratch community members connect with issues of global importance, as well as with local topics and questions of community governance. We develop a typology of the strategies they use to express themselves, engage with their peers, and call for action. We then analyze the reaction of the community, including other Scratch members and adult moderators, and draw key lessons from these examples in order to describe guidelines for educators and designers who would like to support children’s rights to civic engagement in online learning environments.
