UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> \u2013 Rapid flow of information in Indonesia\u2019s digital world today still have many problems. One of them is about digital literacy. The Information and Library Science Lecturer (IIP) of Universitas Airlangga<\/a>, Dr Rahma Sugihartati Dra MSi, mentioned that digital literacy affects digital transformation success in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n

Rahma stated that digital literacy actually refers to two essential aspects. First, about the ability of the community to use digital information and technology in various formats. Second, about the ability to create information and evaluate them critically.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThis second point (filtering and critical about information, ed), often seems to be a problem,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n

Dr Rahma assessed that young people are pretty good at digital technological operation. Although, for the skill of evaluating and digesting information critically, the younger generation must learn more.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cFor example, it is seen from excessive hoax information, especially around a political event happened. Including hate speech,\u201d she mentioned.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cSome netizen\u2019s action actually project a low digital literacy ability,\u201d added the community and information and the information behavior expert.<\/p>\n\n

Disrespectful<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The analysis, said Dr Rahma, is strengthened by Microsoft’s Digital Civility Index (DCI) Research 2021, which Indonesian netizens is considered more disrespectful during the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n

The low digital literacy due to the creation of less productive information eventually also impacts the achievement rate of Indonesia\u2019s digital literacy strengthening program. One of them is Talenta Digital Indonesia. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe have a gap around 600.000 per year between talented teenager and the demand from the technology sector. We are still lacking in digitally talented personnel that became the key for digital transformation,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n

Government\u2019s effort<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Although, said Dr Rahma, some national government agenda regarding the increase of digital talent is quite strategic and sound. But specifically, there is still homework for the governments, especially in making sure that digital literacy education is provided early.<\/p>\n\n

Not only for technical skills, Dr. Rahma also emphasizes the importance of digital literacy in academic curriculums at all levels of education, from elementary school to higher educations. It is very important to instill digital literacy early on. <\/p>\n\n

“In the era of digital society, inevitably we need to prepare adequate digital literacy skills. The younger generation must start to have more awareness and be critical of information in order to emerge as a positive and productive thing,” revealed Dr. Rahma. (*)<\/p>\n\n
