Features of the Ideas of Students with Mild Intellectual Disability About the Risks and Dangers of the Internet

Existing research in the field of digital literacy does not fully reflect the specifics of the work on its formation in students with mild intellectual disability. The formation of digital literacy among students with mild intellectual disability is a complex and multidimensional process that includes the ability to apply a set of elementary knowledge and skills in the field of digital consumption to solve everyday tasks. For this reason, the author of the article proposes to consider the features of the representations of students with mild intellectual disability about the risks and dangers of the Internet and their parents' awareness of Internet security in order to determine the topics of classes with students with mild intellectual disability in the framework of studying the subject "Elements of computer literacy". Despite the growing interest of teachers and the scientific community to the problem of using information and communication technologies in the educational process with children with mild intellectual disability, a systematic approach to the formation of digital literacy in this category of students has not been developed at the moment. The development of digital technologies by students with mild intellectual disabilities occurs haphazardly, and their use becomes unsafe. At the same time, parents often do not have the opportunity or do not realize the importance of teaching children with mild intellectual disability to master digital technologies for use in various spheres of life.
