ENHANCING DIGITAL LITERACY THROUGH CULTURAL VALUE INTEGRATION IN KRENDANG COMMUNITY
Abstract
The rapid advancement of information technology (IT) has transformed how communities interact and access information. This paper focuses on a digital literacy program conducted at RPTRA Krendang, West Jakarta, aimed at integrating cultural values into community-based digital literacy training. The program addresses the challenges of unequal access to technology and the widespread misinformation found in marginalized communities. The method involved location observation, community engagement, practical training, and post-program evaluation. Results indicate significant improvements in participants' digital skills and awareness, although technical issues and time constraints were noted as challenges. The program’s success was driven by strong stakeholder support and active community participation, highlighting the importance of culturally responsive digital literacy initiatives. Future efforts should focus on enhancing coordination, expanding resources, and sustaining the positive momentum created by the training. This study contributes to the understanding of how community-focused digital literacy programs can bridge the digital divide and foster responsible technology use.
