Abstract

The study aims to reveal the efforts that can be made to avoid the undesirable impact of digital technology by growing digital literacy in the matrilineal family. The development of digital information technology does not entirely have a positive impact on family social life. Reduced time with family members, increased individualism, and minimal interaction within the family are some of the negative impacts that must be anticipated. To solve this problem, a comprehensive review of the literature on matrilineal family settings is performed. Several relevant articles are collected and organized into categories. Based on the analysis, to improve digital literacy in the family, there are a few things that should be done. First, increase the parents' knowledge (father, mother, and mamak), commit to using healthy digital technology, provide a variety of fun activities, understand the norms and ethics that apply in utilizing digital technology and involve all family members to play a part in controlling the use of technology.

This research aims to determine the motivation of English education students to become teachers after participating in the Kampus Mengajar program. This research is a narrative inquiry research. In this research, researchers conducted interviews with 3 active students at Universitas PGRI Sumatera Barat majoring in English education who had attended Kampus Mengajar.
