Abstract

The advancement of technology that continues to develop today can help accelerate and simplify human work. Technological progress facilitates communication without limitations of space and time. Easy internet access makes it easier to obtain various types of information. However, the vast amount of information available online can also lead to the spread of hoaxes and misinformation. This makes digital literacy crucial for the public to distinguish between valid and invalid information. Social media, as an easily accessible form of information technology, can serve as an educational medium for promoting digital literacy. Social media as a model for digital literacy can also be applied in science education by providing students with worksheets and asking them to review information found on social media related to specific science topics. This approach not only strengthens students’ digital literacy skills but also deepens their understanding of scientific concepts by connecting them with real-world issues and current information trends. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data derived from previous research conducted over the past ten years. The results show that digital literacy is essential for communities in utilizing technology effectively. A high level of digital literacy enables individuals to differentiate between accurate and inaccurate information. The opportunities for using social media in digital literacy education include enhanced collaborative communication, engagement and accessibility, empowerment, lifelong learning, and the promotion of innovative educational practices. The challenges, however, include limited access and resource constraints, barriers to digital literacy, privacy and security concerns, and ethical and professional considerations. These findings support the strategic integration of social media into public education systems as a tool to enhance both scientific and digital literacy, especially among youth

Abstract

Adolescents are at an emotionally unstable age and need social recognition and self-existence. Biologically, adolescents experience significant development of sex hormones such as testosterone and progesterone, leading to an increased attraction to the opposite sex. Socially, adolescents are highly vulnerable to entering the youth community and engaging in various juvenile delinquency activities. Therefore, sex education is necessary for adolescents to prevent promiscuity and prepare them for marriage. This study explores the importance of scientific knowledge and character in strengthening loyalty to their marriage vows. The research applies a survey method. Quantitative data are obtained from the results of the questionnaire. Data collection through personal interviews and group meetings with young people and families in St. Boniface Parish, Alasa, and Christ the King Gidӧ Parish are useful factors in this study.  The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The result showed science education, character and moral values, especially husband and wife morals, are fundamental in maintaining the sanctity of marriage. The virtues of life, especially morals, encourage a person to behave appropriately and correctly by applying moral values. Morality is defined as personal or cultural values, codes of ethics, or social customs that establish rules about right and wrong.
