Tweens are avid users of digital media, which exposes them to various online threats. Teachers are primarily expected to teach children safe online behaviours, despite not necessarily having the required training or classroom tools to support this education. Using the theory of procedural rhetoric and established game design principles, we designed a classroom-based cybersecurity, privacy, and digital literacy game for tweens that has since been deployed to over 300 Canadian elementary schools. The game, A Day in the Life of the JOs , teaches children about 25 cybersecurity, privacy, and digital literacy topics and allows them to practice what they have learned in a simulated environment. We employed a user-centered design process to create the game, iteratively testing its design and effectiveness with children and teachers through five user studies (with a total of 63 child participants and 21 teachers). Our summative evaluation with children showed that the game improved their cybersecurity, privacy, and digital literacy knowledge and behavioural intent and was positively received by them. Our summative evaluation with teachers also showed positive results. Teachers liked that the game represented the authentic experiences of children on digital media and that it aligned with their curriculum requirements; they were interested in using it in their classrooms. In this article, we discuss our process and experience of designing a production quality game for children and provide evidence of its effectiveness with both children and teachers.

In today’s learning environment, adult learners conduct learning episodes on the Internet meaning they are now expected to approach a self-directed science-based learning endeavor with knowledge of digital tools (digital literacy), knowledge of the science content (science literacy), and critical thinking skills to evaluate online resources (information literacy). Are adults equipped with such skills to discern credible science-based resources? If so, how are these adults discerning credibility, especially when they encounter conflicting science-based information. A recent qualitative study was conducted to delve into these questions. Participants engaged in real-time science-based Internet searches and provided feedback on rationales behind their credibility decisions. Findings from this study provided three strategies to assist those serving adult audiences in ways in which science-based resources might be best dissimilated online, especially when focused on controversial science issues such as fracking and climate change. The three strategies are (a) internally evaluate online resources, (b) conduct a usability study of online resources, and (c) stay dynamic with types of science-based resources and how to best meet the changing needs of the adult populace.

Sedangkan Pada SMA N 1 Meureubo kategori penilaian tingkat literasi digital siswa Rendah.  Membuktikan bahwa penggunaan akses Multimedia interaktif disekolah di SMA Aceh Barat belum merata digunakan oleh siswa. Penerapan multimedia interaktif oleh guru belum diterapkan secara maksimal, artinya pengetahuan dan keahlian digital literasi guru SMA Aceh Barat  belum termediasi dan terfasilitasi dengan baik. Kata Kunci: Tingkat Digital  Literasi, Multimedia, Multimedia Interaktif Abstract: This study aims to prove the results of the assessment of the use of interactive multimedia learning Biology by students as identification of the digital literacy level to support the independent learning program in West Aceh.The research was conducted in two State Senior High Schools of West Aceh Regency. The research was conducted in the odd semester of 2020. The research sample was taken from class XII MIA from each school, namely SMA N 1 Meureubo totaling 30 students and MAN 2 Aceh Barat totaling 30 students. The research approach uses a quantitative approach.The data collection techniques used were questionnaires and documentation. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistics with the Benchmark Reference Assessment stage (PAP Type II). Based on the results of the assessment, it was proven that the digital literacy level of students was included in the High category assessment at MAN 2 Aceh Barat. Meanwhile, at SMA N 1 Meureubo, the assessment category for students' digital literacy level is Low. It proves that the use of interactive multimedia access in schools in West Aceh High School has not been evenly used by students. The teacher's application of interactive multimedia has not been maximally applied, meaning that the digital literacy knowledge and skills of West Aceh Senior High School teachers have not been mediated and facilitated properly.Keyword: Levels of Digital Literacy, digital literacy, Multimedia, Interactive Multimedia.

Objective To explore the digital literacy knowledge and needs of pharmacy staff including pharmacists, graduate (pre-registration) pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, dispensing assistants and medicine counter assistants.Methods A systematic review was conducted following a pre-published protocol. Two reviewers systematically performed the reproducible search, followed by independent screening of titles/abstracts then full papers, before critical appraisal and data extraction. Full articles matching the search terms were eligible for inclusion. Exclusions were recorded with reasons. Kirkpatrick’s 4 level model of training evaluation (reaction, learning, behaviour and results) was applied as an analytical framework.Results Screening reduced the initial 86 papers to 5 for full review. Settings included hospital and community pharmacy plus education in Australia, Canada and the US. No studies of pharmacy staff other than pharmacists were identified. Main findings indicate that pharmacy staff lack digital literacy knowledge with minimal research evidenced at each level of Kirkpatrick’s model.Conclusions As a society, we acknowledge that technology is an important part of everyday life impacting on the efficiency and effectiveness of working practices but, in pharmacy, do we take cognisance, ‘that technology can change the nature of work faster than people can change their skills’? It seems that pharmacy has embraced technology without recognised occupational standards, definition of baseline skills or related personal development plans. There is little evidence that digital literacy has been integrated into pharmacy staff training, which remains an under-researched area.

The purpose of this study wa to determine the challenge faced by teachers in implementin pedagogic competencies during the teaching process with a work from home system. This  research is located  at the Madrasah  Ibtidaiyah  Lemo Tua, Kuajang Village, Binuang District,Polewali Mandar Regency,West Sulawesi Province.The research subjects were 6 class teachers. This research is an exploratory case study using a qualitative research approach with data analysis techniques using  triangulation. The  results of the study found that the challenges  faced by teachers were 1) teachers had  difficulties in achieving  learning  targets  according  to the  curriculum, 2) teachers had difficulties in implementing online learning using technology media, 3) teachershad difficulties in assessing student learning outcomes in accordance with validation instruments and reliable data. These challenges cause teachers to be unable to maximize their pedagogical competence  in teaching with a work from home system. Researchers offer ideas to answer these challenges, namely,1) the need for  simplification of learning  and assessment targets, 2) the  need for provision of digital literacy knowledge and the use of technology for teachers, students and parents,3) the need for smartphone subsidies for teachers and  students during the pandemic.

Important Field

Analysis of mathematics subject matter in elementary school is a very important field of study taught at every level of education. The 2013 curriculum separates the field of mathematics studies from themes so that this field of study is a subject that stands alone. Through mathematics subject matter taught in elementary school can train students to think critically, rationally, logically, innovatively so that they have competitiveness. As for the problems discussed from the subject matter in elementary school mathematics which is seen from the suitability of the teacher's book and the student's book, in this case it discusses: 1) the scope of mathematics material grade 3rd elementary school, 2) the characteristics of mathematics subject matter in elementary school, 3) the relevance in elementary school mathematics subject matter to the scientific structure, namely student character, HOTS, 4C skills, literacy numeracy, digital literacy, financial literacy and character education, 4) learning innovation based on integration-interconnection in accordance with the science of development and technology and the needs of the community in the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0.
