The development of science, technology, and global society requires continuous change in schools. As school culture becomes mobile and digital, students are connected to it information and people. One of the most prominent examples is the integration of the digital culture and the school culture, creating a "digital school culture". In the digital era, schools are agents in ensuring that all students benefit from digital technology to support the needs of digital and scientific literacy. Students who can understand scientific facts and the relationship between science, technology and society and implement their knowledge in solving real-life problems are called a scientific literacy society. Scientific literacy has been recognized as an important characteristic that every citizen in modern society should possess. In this respect, science education, which includes 21st-century skills, is critical for developing students' scientific literacy, which, in turn, in future scientifically literate citizens. This study is a comprehensive literature review for analysing digital school culture's influence on science education. Databases used for this comprehensive literature review included: EBSCO, Scopus, Science Direct and Web of Science. The search was limited to peer-reviewed studies published from 2016-2022. A current study review reveals critical aspects of digital school culture in science education.
