Abstract

This program was conducted at the Department of Sociology, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Halu Oleo University, to address challenges in scientific writing, particularly in reference management, academic ethics, and citation formatting. Students often struggled with these issues, hindering their ability to write quality academic papers. The program aimed to equip students with skills to organize references, compile bibliographies, and apply citation formats using Mendeley. The program’s success was reflected in a 40% improvement in reference management skills, a 45% increase in Mendeley usage, and a 35% improvement in understanding academic ethics. Additionally, students’ ability to correctly format citations and compile bibliographies improved by 45%. Final-year students showed substantial progress, enhancing their academic writing capabilities. These results highlight the importance of integrating Mendeley training into the curriculum, and it is recommended that such training be regularly incorporated into research methodology courses to foster long-term academic success.

Abstract

The rapid increase in internet use among elementary students has not been matched by adequate digital literacy, exposing them to risks such as cyberbullying, disinformation, and misuse of personal data. This study examined the effectiveness of the Safe Internet Education Program in enhancing students’ digital literacy in Palarahi Village, Southeast Sulawesi. Using a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design, the program was implemented through eight interactive sessions involving 85 students from two public elementary schools. The results showed a significant improvement in digital literacy scores, increasing from a mean of 52.3 to 78.6 (p < 0.001) with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.31). The proportion of students in the high literacy category rose from 4.7% to 85.9%, while those in the low category dropped to 0%. The greatest improvement occurred in personal data security, followed by information evaluation and digital communication. The study concludes that structured and participatory digital education can effectively strengthen children’s competence and online safety. This model offers a measurable framework to support the implementation of the National Digital Literacy Movement (#Siberkreasi) in rural and non-metropolitan areas.
