Teenagers' Utilisation of RRI Digital Application in Digital Literacy

Introduction

Teenagers' utilisation of rri digital application in digital literacy. Investigate how Indonesian teenagers leverage the RRI Digital app to develop digital literacy. Discover its positive impact on enhancing information access and understanding.

Abstract

Section: Research Section Keywords: rri digital, literacy, digital literacy RRI (Radio Republik Indonesia) is the only radio that bears the name of the state whose broadcasts are intended for the benefit of the nation and state. RRI is an independent, neutral and non-commercial public broadcaster that functions to provide information, education, healthy entertainment, social control, and maintain a positive image of the nation internationally. Digital literacy includes an individual's ability to access, use, and utilise digital technology. The purpose of this study is to describe the impact of the use of digital RRI applications on adolescents in Indonesia in digital literacy.This research is a type of quantitative research. This quantitative research uses a quantitative descriptive approach. A total of 111 respondents who use the RRI Digital application. This technique uses purposive sampling technique with a total of 111 users of the RRI Digital Application. Furthermore, the data that has been obtained will be processed using statistical descriptive analysis techniques. Data processing used using the SPSS 24 for Windows programme. The results showed that the use of the RRI Digital application was in the very good or very high category with a mean score (Mean) of 50.90 percentage 84.83% and digital literacy was in the good and high category with a mean score (Mean) of 52.77 percentage 87.95%Based on the data from the research results above, it can be seen that the RRI Digital application can be used to facilitate digital literacy, and improve users' ability to access and understand information effectively and efficiently.

Review

This abstract presents an interesting and highly relevant study examining the utilization of the RRI Digital application by teenagers in Indonesia and its relationship to digital literacy. The focus on RRI as a public broadcaster and its potential role in fostering essential digital skills among young people is timely and aligns well with national development goals concerning information access and education. The stated objective to "describe the impact of the use of digital RRI applications on adolescents in Indonesia in digital literacy" is clear and highlights an important area of inquiry for both media studies and educational technology. Methodologically, the study adopts a quantitative descriptive approach, surveying 111 users of the RRI Digital application selected via purposive sampling. While this approach provides initial insights, the abstract would benefit from greater detail regarding the specific operationalization of "digital literacy" and how it was measured beyond a mean score. The conclusion that the application "can be used to facilitate digital literacy" might be an overstatement for a purely descriptive study, which typically identifies patterns or states rather than establishing direct impact or causality. Furthermore, the interpretation of "very good" or "good" categories for both app utilization and digital literacy scores (e.g., mean of 50.90% and 52.77%, respectively, without a clear maximum score reference) requires more context to be fully understood and critically assessed by the reader. To strengthen future iterations or publications stemming from this work, it would be beneficial to elaborate on the precise criteria for the purposive sampling and whether the 111 respondents are representative of the broader target demographic. Providing specific examples of the digital literacy aspects assessed (e.g., information retrieval, critical evaluation, content creation) would also enhance the clarity and rigor. If the intent is truly to assess "impact," then a research design allowing for a more robust causal inference (e.g., pre-post-intervention, comparative groups) would be more appropriate than a purely descriptive cross-sectional study. Nevertheless, this research lays a foundational understanding of how public broadcasting applications might intersect with digital literacy development, offering valuable preliminary data for further, more in-depth exploration.
