I am a full time student with parents who will claim me as a dependent and will claim my educational tax credit on my behalf. Should I still claim educational tax credit?

No. If your parents claim you as a dependent you cannot claim an education credit. Only your parents can claim the credit.

[Hal_Al · Accepted solution]

No.  A student's tuition credit can only be claimed on one tax return; either the parent's or the student's.  In most cases, it's not optional; only the parent can claim it.
