Abstract

The development of digital technology has had a significant impact on various aspects of life, including education. In the context of Social Studies Education (SSE), digital literacy has become an essential component that enables a more interactive and dynamic teaching and learning process. This study aims to explore and determine the most suitable digital literacy tools for use in SSE through a literature review approach. The analysis of relevant literature identifies four main categories of digital tools used: Learning Management Systems (LMS), social media, mobile applications, and online collaborative tools. Each category is analyzed to assess its advantages, challenges, and suitability in supporting SSE. The findings indicate that LMS and online collaborative tools provide a strong foundation for structured and collaborative learning, while social media and mobile applications play a crucial role in enhancing student engagement and providing real-world context. This study offers recommendations for the optimal integration of these various digital tools in SSE and provides suggestions for educators, researchers, and policymakers in developing practices and policies that support digital literacy in the digital education era.
