1 background
PREVIOUS ACADEMIC STUDIES
• New definition of digital divide
• Majority of research conducted in well developed countries
• Limited studies in Indonesia. The existing ones focus on
adults, education/government staff and librarians.
2 theoretical framework
ACTIVE AUDIENCE: Audience actively constructs meaning
as they interact with text. Expert user use a range of
strategic cognitive processes to select, organize, connect,
and evaluate what they read in online environment (Coiro
& Dobler, 2007)
INTERNET LITERACY: Related to how users could get
benefits from their online activities. This study employs the
categorization from van Deursen & van Dijk (2009) to
illustrate the range of internet literacy, as follow: (1)
operational internet skills (2) formal internet skills (3)
information internet skills (4) strategic internet skills.
3 methodology
CONSIDERATIONS FOR PARTICIPATION
• Four university students from 4 different universities in
Greater Jakarta area to illustrate different demographic &
lifestyles
• 2 Female, 2 Male
METHOD: IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS
3 methodology
Informant 1 - RA, female, 20 y/o, SES B
• Final year student in a private university. Shows moderate
understanding on technical skills and very low level of
content-related skills.
• Mostly influenced by friends and not encouraged by parents
to use the internet. Lecturers did support but did not guide
the activities.
3 methodology
Informant 2 - SK, female, 18 y/o, SES A
• 2nd year student in a private university. Shows high level on
technical skills and low level of content-related skills.
• Mostly influenced by friends (and online social networks)
and also encouraged by parents to use the internet.
Lecturers did support but did not guide the activities.
3 methodology
Informant 3 - DA, male, 21 y/o, SES A
• First year student in a private university. Shows high level of
understanding on technical skills and very low level of
content-related skills.
• Mostly influenced by friends and not encouraged by parents
to use the internet. Lecturers supported but did not guide
the activities.
3 methodology
Informant 4 - CN, male, 20 y/o, SES B
• Second year student in a state university. Shows moderate
understanding on technical skills and also moderate level of
content-related skills.
• Mostly influenced by friends and not encouraged by parents
to use the internet. Lecturers did support but did not guide
the activities.
4 findings
Internet Skills
• The findings show that all informants possess moderate to
advanced level of technical skills. However, if it is compared to
content-related skills, all informant demonstrate lower level of
capabilities, for instance: judging quality of the resources.
• One of the informants argued that all contents in the internet
must be truthful and thus, can be used as academic resources.
• Another informant stated that Wikipedia is the only ‘academic
resources he is aware of.
• All informants could not differentiate and not knowing what
academic resources mean.
4 findings
Influence on Academic Lives
• All informants agree that internet has major contribution for
their academic lives, however, it is related on how it makes
them easier to complete tasks/assignments, but it is not
necessarily improving the quality of the assignments.
• All informants agree that internet made them easier to
cheat, particularly when they were on deadlines. The most
common way is copy and paste from Wikipedia/blogs.
4 findings
Influencer
• All informants agree that peer-groups are the most
influential party in their online activities.
• Parents are also influential, particularly related to access to
the technology, as in providing PC/laptops and subscribed to
internet services at home
• Lecturers only contribute limited part to the online
behaviour
5 summary
• Young people are indeed more familiar with the internet.
But, apparently, it does not mean that they could take
advantages from their online activities.
• In the context of education, supports from lecturers/adults
are needed to guide these students, particularly on
improving their content-related skills.
• In order to improve the skills, participation from education
institution are also needed.
• Language barrier is one of the issues that also needs
attention since most of the contents on the internet is in
English and other languages.
6 future work
• Studies on internet literacy should be expanded into other
segments of society.
• Expand the criteria of informants to provide more insightful
findings as informants in this research are coming from similar
socio-economic status and geographic location.
Thank You

  • 10. 3 methodology Informant 4 - CN, male, 20 y/o, SES B • Second year student in a state university. Shows moderate understanding on technical skills and also moderate level of content-related skills. • Mostly influenced by friends and not encouraged by parents to use the internet. Lecturers did support but did not guide the activities.
  • 11. 4 findings Internet Skills • The findings show that all informants possess moderate to advanced level of technical skills. However, if it is compared to content-related skills, all informant demonstrate lower level of capabilities, for instance: judging quality of the resources. • One of the informants argued that all contents in the internet must be truthful and thus, can be used as academic resources. • Another informant stated that Wikipedia is the only ‘academic resources he is aware of. • All informants could not differentiate and not knowing what academic resources mean.
  • 12. 4 findings Influence on Academic Lives • All informants agree that internet has major contribution for their academic lives, however, it is related on how it makes them easier to complete tasks/assignments, but it is not necessarily improving the quality of the assignments. • All informants agree that internet made them easier to cheat, particularly when they were on deadlines. The most common way is copy and paste from Wikipedia/blogs.
  • 13. 4 findings Influencer • All informants agree that peer-groups are the most influential party in their online activities. • Parents are also influential, particularly related to access to the technology, as in providing PC/laptops and subscribed to internet services at home • Lecturers only contribute limited part to the online behaviour
  • 14. 5 summary • Young people are indeed more familiar with the internet. But, apparently, it does not mean that they could take advantages from their online activities. • In the context of education, supports from lecturers/adults are needed to guide these students, particularly on improving their content-related skills. • In order to improve the skills, participation from education institution are also needed. • Language barrier is one of the issues that also needs attention since most of the contents on the internet is in English and other languages.
  • 15. 6 future work • Studies on internet literacy should be expanded into other segments of society. • Expand the criteria of informants to provide more insightful findings as informants in this research are coming from similar socio-economic status and geographic location.
