<![CDATA[To date, studies on literacy programs in Indonesia have been ubiquitously conducted. However, little effort has been made to investigate junior high school students’ attitudes toward the implementation of online literacy programs as part of School Literacy Movement in the Indonesian context. Thus, to fill in the gap, this study aimed to investigate students’ attitudes towards the implementation of the Online Literacy Program in the Junior High Public School (JHPS) 1 Central Java as a program to promote School Literacy Movement and prepare the students to face Minimum Competency Assessment along with some challenges faced by the students as factors that might negatively impact their attitudes. To achieve the aforementioned aims, a mixed-method design was employed in this research. A questionnaire encompassing closed and open-ended questions was administered as the data gathering technique to provide triangulation and increase the validity and reliability of the research. Two main findings were drawn from this study. First, the participants showed a positive attitude towards the implementation of the program which is reflected in the two components of attitude namely, affective and cognitive domains. Secondly, despite the positive results, some challenges such as technical disruption and reading comprehension difficulty were still present during the program implementation. Two main recommendations were suggested to help the teachers improve the future program, namely (1) exploring broader topics and (2) providing more visual aids.]]>
