Abstract

Access to education remains a critical challenge in Indonesia, particularly for individuals who are unable to complete formal schooling due to socio-economic and personal constraints. Non-formal education, especially through community learning centers, plays a strategic role in addressing this issue by providing flexible and inclusive learning opportunities. This study aims to examine the implementation of non-formal equivalency education in enhancing educational access for learners at a community learning center, PKBM Mutiara Bintang. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the implementation of equivalency education has significantly contributed to expanding educational access by accommodating diverse learner backgrounds, fostering active and supportive learning environments, and promoting learner motivation. In addition, the program not only facilitates the acquisition of basic academic knowledge but also equips learners with practical skills relevant to everyday life. The study highlights that flexibility, inclusivity, and learner-centered approaches are key factors in the effectiveness of non-formal education programs. These findings suggest that equivalency education can serve as an adaptive strategy to reduce educational inequality and support lifelong learning opportunities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of media literacy among university students living in boarding houses around Universitas Negeri Medan (UNIMED). The research employed a quantitative descriptive method involving 50 respondents selected through a survey using a Likert-scale questionnaire that measured five indicators: the ability to distinguish factual information from hoaxes, habits of source verification, ethics in using social media, awareness of personal data security, and critical thinking in responding to digital content. The results show that students’ media literacy is generally in the good category, as reflected in their ability to access digital information easily, identify misleading content, use polite communication, and maintain privacy when using social media. However, some respondents still exhibit inconsistent verification habits and limited confidence in recognizing misinformation, indicating uneven literacy levels among students. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening digital awareness programs, especially for students living independently in boarding houses who rely heavily on online platforms for academic and daily information needs. The study suggests that universities develop continuous media literacy initiatives and that students cultivate more consistent verification habits to foster responsible digital behavior.
