Abstract

The growth in the number of netizens is now the impact of increasingly easy internet penetration and high penetration of social media that is easily accessed via smartphone gadgets. Research conducted by Candrasari (2016) states that female internet users cannot be separated from their social media. Within a day of 2-3 hours, his time is spent accessing digital media. Therefore digital competencies are needed for girls to avoid the negative effects of the internet. The purpose of this study is to get a picture of the competence of adolescent girls. Digital competence is a form of using technology safely and critically to facilitate work, get entertainment and to communicate (E. Encabo & Murcia, J: 2011: 166). This research was conducted on adolescent girls in Surabaya with qualitative research methods. Data obtained through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and literature studies. The results of the study indicate that the digital competence of adolescent girls is still not good, especially in the categories of skills using the internet, information management and responsibility for using internet which is still low. Only in the category of communication and sharing digital competence of young women is good

Determining digital literacy among teacher from gender perspective through the Rasch model

Unlocking Women’s Empowerment towards Digital Inclusivity in East Kalimantan through Digital Competence Evaluation

“…The DigComp 2.0 model is one of the functional tools for evaluating digital competencies, yet not many studies have applied it to the Indonesian context. Candrasari et al (2020) concentrated on the competence of young women, while Rahayu and Haningsih (2021) focused on DigCompEdu to measure the role of women as informal educators at home. Anjarwati and MLIS (2022) conducted a study that employed the DigComp model to examine security and privacy concerns related to youth social media use, with no particular emphasis on female users.…”

“…Rahayu and Haningsih (2021) did not characterise women's digital competence for general purposes as the current study seeks, but they employed an information technology and pedagogy approach. Furthermore, Candrasari et al (2020) and Anjarwati and MLIS (2022) use a qualitative approach, which cannot determine the reasons impacting women's low levels of digital literacy and competency. In other words, further research in the Indonesian context focusing on digital competency aspects is needed to inform women empowerment strategies.…”
