Abstract

This study aims to describe the level of environmental literacy and cleanliness behavior among Generation Z in Medan Sunggal City. The research involved 50 respondents and employed a questionnaire instrument covering environmental knowledge, attitudes, awareness, waste management behavior, daily hygiene habits, and social responsibility toward the environment. Data were collected using a 1–5 Likert scale reflecting respondents’ perceptions and actions related to environmental issues. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis to identify trends in environmental literacy and cleanliness behavior. The results indicate that Generation Z demonstrates a generally good level of environmental literacy, particularly in understanding the impacts of waste, plastic usage, and the importance of maintaining public cleanliness. Cleanliness behavior also tends to be positive, as reflected in proper waste disposal practices, reduced use of plastic, and efforts to maintain cleanliness in both public and personal spaces. However, certain aspects, such as consistent waste sorting and active participation in environmental initiatives, still require improvement. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening environmental education and providing adequate facilities to support sustainable and environmentally responsible behavior among Generation Z.

Abstract

This research investigates the level of social media literacy among Generation Z students who actively use Instagram and TikTok. The study aims to identify how students understand, analyze, and verify information before sharing it on social media platforms. A descriptive quantitative method was applied, and the data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 50 university students aged 18–24. The findings show that the majority of respondents demonstrate a high level of social media literacy, as indicated by strong preferences in the categories of Agree and Strongly Agree. These results imply that students tend to be more critical and selective when evaluating online information, indicating their awareness of misinformation risks. The study concludes that Generation Z users are generally capable of practicing responsible digital behavior. Further educational support is recommended to strengthen critical literacy skills, particularly in identifying manipulated content and biased information, to create a healthier digital ecosystem

Abstract

This research seeks to study the patterns of healthy lifestyles and habits of gadget usage among boarding house students in Medan, while also exploring the connection between these aspects. The rising trend of gadget usage among college students residing in boarding houses has led to modifications in their daily routines, particularly in terms of eating practices, sleep cycles, and levels of physical activity. The methodology used in this study is descriptive quantitative, where data was gathered through questionnaires aimed at students aged 18-25 years in boarding houses. Subsequently, the collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics to classify healthy lifestyle patterns along with the frequency of gadget usage. The outcomes reveal that a large proportion of boarding students exhibit less than optimal healthy lifestyle patterns, which can be observed through irregular eating habits, inadequate sleep, and minimal physical activity. Conversely, the average gadget usage among participants is notably high, exceeding 5 hours daily, primarily for social media engagement and entertainment. Further analysis indicates a negative correlation between the intensity of gadget usage and the manifestation of healthy lifestyle habits, illustrating that increased gadget use is linked to decreased sleep quality and lower physical activity. In summary, this study demonstrates that regular engagement with gadgets impacts the healthy lifestyle choices of students living in boarding houses in Medan. Thus, enhancing health literacy and managing gadget usage time effectively is crucial for fostering a more balanced lifestyle among these students.

Abstract

Students living in boarding houses in Medan City are faced with social and cultural conditions that are different from their hometowns. These differences require good adjustment skills so that students can adapt socially, academically, and emotionally. One factor that is thought to influence the adjustment process is cultural literacy. This study aims to determine the effect of cultural literacy on the adaptability of migrant students living in boarding houses in Medan City. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The research subjects consisted of 50 migrant students living in boarding houses in Medan City, who were selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through a Google Form-based questionnaire that measured cultural literacy and adaptability. The data obtained were. analyzed using inferential statistical analysis techniques to see the relationship and influence between the two variables. The results of the study indicate that cultural literacy has an influence on the adaptability of migrant students. Students with better cultural literacy tend to have more positive adaptation skills in facing new social and cultural environments. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening cultural literacy as a strategy in helping migrant students adapt to urban environments.

Abstract

Community education plays a strategic role in strengthening character development and civic awareness amidst rapid social transformation. As the philosophical foundation of the Indonesian nation, Pancasila provides fundamental values that guide educational practices toward the development of ethical, democratic, and socially responsible citizens. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Pancasila philosophical values within the community education system at PKBM Cendekia, Pahang Village, Talawi District, Batubara Regency. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The participants consisted of the PKBM head, tutors, and learning citizens involved in equivalency education programs. Data were analyzed through the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that Pancasila values are implemented through three main strategies: integration into learning activities, habituation of positive social behavior, and role modeling by tutors and institutional leaders. The values of divinity, humanity, unity, democracy, and social justice are reflected in educational practices, community participation, and learner empowerment activities. This study contributes conceptually by proposing a community-based model for implementing Pancasila values through non-formal education institutions, particularly PKBM, as a means of strengthening civic character and social empowerment.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of environmental literacy among university students living in boarding houses in Medan Tembung District and to examine the role of the boarding house environment in supporting pro-environmental behavior. This research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design involving 60 respondents selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results indicate that the environmental literacy level of boarding house students is categorized as good across all measured dimensions. Environmental attitudes and support from the boarding house environment show the highest average scores, while pro-environmental behavior, although still categorized as good, appears relatively lower. These findings suggest that students’ environmental behavior is influenced not only by individual factors but also by the availability of facilities and the management of the boarding house environment. This study concludes that the boarding house environment plays a crucial role in supporting the implementation of students’ environmental literacy. Therefore, improving sanitation facilities and strengthening environmental management in boarding houses are recommended to promote sustainable pro-environmental behavior among students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of digital media literacy among students of Universitas Negeri Medan (UNIMED), particularly in relation to information awareness and social media practices. A quantitative survey design was employed involving 55 active undergraduate students selected through non-probability sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire based on four dimensions of media literacy: information access, information evaluation, digital awareness, and responsible social media use. The instrument was validated through expert judgment and demonstrated acceptable reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentages and mean scores. The findings indicate that UNIMED students generally possess a high level of digital media literacy. Students demonstrate strong awareness of the importance of verifying information, understanding the potential risks of misinformation, and utilizing social media responsibly. However, the results also reveal that awareness does not always translate into consistent information verification practices, indicating a gap between digital literacy knowledge and actual online behavior. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening media literacy education within higher education institutions through the integration of critical thinking, information verification, and digital citizenship competencies. This study contributes empirical evidence on university students’ digital media literacy and provides recommendations for developing educational strategies that foster responsible and critical engagement with social media.

Abstract

Media literacy has become an essential competency for university students who are continuously exposed to digital information through social media and online platforms. Students living independently in boarding houses tend to rely heavily on digital media for academic, social, and daily information, making them particularly vulnerable to misinformation and unethical digital practices. However, empirical evidence regarding their media literacy remains limited, especially within the Indonesian higher education context. This study aimed to assess the media literacy level of boarding house students around Universitas Negeri Medan (UNIMED). A descriptive quantitative approach was employed involving 50 students selected through survey techniques. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring five dimensions: identifying factual information and misinformation, information verification behavior, ethical social media use, personal data protection, and critical responses toward digital content. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that students generally demonstrated a good level of media literacy, particularly in accessing digital information, maintaining online ethics, and protecting personal privacy. Nevertheless, weaknesses were identified in the consistency of information verification and confidence in recognizing misinformation. These findings indicate that media literacy among students remains uneven across dimensions and requires continuous institutional support. The study recommends integrating media literacy education into university programs to strengthen critical information verification and promote responsible digital citizenship among university students.
