Abstract

The internet and teenagers are two interrelated things in the life of modern society. Data from the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology shows that the use of the internet among teenagers is mostly used to access social media. This phenomenon is interesting to study because social media is an important space for teenagers to build and express their identity. This study aims to analyze the role of social media in the formation of adolescent identity as well as how adolescents express personal problems in the digital space. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. The theoretical frameworks used include Identity Theory, Symbolic Interaction Theory, and Media Ecology Theory. The data was obtained through in-depth interviews with adolescents who actively use social media. The results of the study show that adolescents display diverse identities on social media and tend to express personal problems indirectly or implicitly. Social media plays an important role in the construction of adolescent identity in the digital era.

Abstract

The era of technological disruption brought massive changes that not only transformed the industrial sector, but also the order of values, culture, and character of the nation. Students as a digital native generation are at the forefront of this change, but at the same time are the most vulnerable group to exposure to transnational ideologies, individualism, and digital polarization. This research aims to analyze the real challenges faced by Pancasila Education in higher education in the era of disruption, as well as formulate strategies to strengthen the adaptive national character for students. The research method used is literature review by collecting, reducing, and analyzing data from various scientific literature, books, and related reputable journals. The results of the study show that the main challenges of Pancasila Education include the obsolete conventional learning methodology and the massive flow of foreign information that obscures local values. The recommended strategies are the reconstruction of a digital-based curriculum, the use of media-rich learning, and the internalization of Pancasila values through an interactive cyber-pedagogical approach.
