UNLOCKING THE DIGITAL POTENTIAL: EVALUATING SMARTPHONE-BASED DIGITAL COMPETENCE AMONG CAMBODIAN FARMERS.

Agriculture sector was identified to be vulnerable to climate variability and change. The utilization of digital technology holds significant promise in facilitating and advancing sustainable socio-economic development, inclusivity, and resilience. It achieves this by generating novel avenues for economic expansion, improving the productivity and effectiveness of all industries, and offering alternative solutions and innovative approaches to address prevailing global challenges such as pandemic and climate change. The research aims to assess the farmers’ basic knowledge of digital literacy competence level and to examine the association between gender, education, and age group to the foundational digital literacy of farmers in using a smartphone. The Cohran formula of an unknown population was used to determine the appropriate number of farmers to be interviewed. 400 farmers within 10 districts were randomly chosen with gender balance. KoboToolBox and SPSS IBM 25 were adopted to collect and analyse the data. The findings revealed that Farmers are mostly working-age (31-64) and the majority of farmers have primary education. While more women have greater secondary education, more men have bachelor's degrees. Female farmers have an average education of 1.39, whereas male farmers have 1.41. Male farmers had a somewhat higher education standard deviation than female farmers. On average, farmers possess 3 smartphones. In social media and content creation, women thrive in digital literacy. Male farmers are better at connecting to the internet and integrating smartphone links. Digital literacy abilities are lower in older people (> 65) than working-age and youth groups. Higher education correlates with improved smartphone abilities and digital literacy. Farmers with less education may need more digital literacy training, especially for smartphone activities. Pearson Chi-Square Tests show no significant association between gender and age and basic digital literacy. Education level is significantly associated with social media app competency and smartphone app installation/use (p-value = 0.000).

Parenting styles and digital literacy: Uncovering their correlation among adolescents

Background: The development process of digital literacy is gradual and significantly influenced by parenting style. How parents raise their children significantly impacts how well-trained adolescents are in media-related behaviour. Purpose: The study aims to examine the relationship between the digital literacy levels of adolescent - students at the Faculty of Communication Science, Universitas Islam Bandung - and the parenting styles they experience within their families. Methods: This research employed a quantitative approach within the positivistic paradigm. It involved a sample of 120 students. Results: This study revealed that adolescents from families with authoritative parenting styles exhibited higher levels of digital literacy than those from authoritarian, permissive and neglectful families. Meanwhile, adolescents from neglectful family backgrounds demonstrated the lowest degree of digital literacy. These findings provide a foundation for developing adolescent digital literacy and, consequently, promoting cyber wellness by achieving a balance between online and offline life. Conclusion: This research indicated no significant relationship between parenting style and students’ digital literacy at the Faculty of Communication, Universitas Islam Bandung. Implications: Nevertheless, it is worth noting that students raised within a family with an authoritative parenting style tend to exhibit higher digital literacy abilities, although the difference is not statistically significant. This study also introduces a comparative theory, highlighting the contrast between students, who are digital natives, and their parents, who can be considered digital immigrants.

Digital literacy abilities and students' science process skills are rarely considered in the learning process, so an analysis is needed to determine students' digital literacy skills and science process skills. This study aims to analyze the relationship between digital literacy skills and science process skills in simple plane materials. The research method used is a mixed method with an explanatory design. The research subjects used were 24 students. The research instruments were digital literacy questionnaires, science process skills observation sheets, and interview sheets. Data analysis techniques used quantitative data analysis and qualitative data analysis. The results of the Pearson correlation test showed that there was a significant relationship between digital literacy skills and students' science process skills in simple plane material.
