This study delves into the burgeoning realm of technological advancements in African social work and their consequential implications for practice in the United States. The primary purpose is to unravel the unique challenges encountered in the African social work landscape and to explore how innovative technological solutions have been employed to address these challenges, thereby offering valuable insights and potential applications for U.S. social work practice. Employing a comprehensive literature review as its methodological backbone, the study meticulously examines the evolution and integration of technology in global social work, with a keen focus on the African context. This approach facilitates a deep dive into the nuances of technological innovations such as mobile technology, digital platforms for community engagement, and e-health services, especially in crisis situations. The findings illuminate the significant strides made in African social work through technology, overcoming geographical, logistical, and resource constraints. These innovations have not only enhanced service delivery but also fostered greater community engagement in remote and underserved regions. A comparative analysis with current U.S. practices reveals both parallels and gaps, suggesting areas ripe for adaptation and integration. Conclusively, the study underscores the transformative potential of technology in social work, advocating for its tailored application within specific social, cultural, and economic contexts. Recommendations include the adaptation of successful African technological models to the U.S. context, the development of ethical guidelines for technology use in social work, and the promotion of technological competency among social workers. This research paves the way for further exploration into the practical implementation and evaluation of these technological adaptations in the U.S. social work sector. Keywords: Technological Advancements, African Social Work, U.S. Social Work Practice, Digital Innovation, Comparative Analysis.

“…In the context of social media use, the ability to information literacy is also very important (Cho et al, 2022;Vraga & Tully, 2021;Wusylko et al, 2022). Students need to be able to evaluate the information that is spread on social media so as not to fall into hoaxes or inaccurate information (Cho et al, 2022;Vraga & Tully, 2021;Wusylko et al, 2022). Students who have good information literacy skills will also be able to avoid content that is not useful or does not match their learning objectives (Vraga & Tully, 2021;Wusylko et al, 2022).…”

21st Century Skills and Information Literacy are very important to know about their development in the lecture process in tertiary institutions. Profiling has yet to be carried out to map this in the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program. Therefore, this research aims to profile 21st Century Skills and Information Literacy in Indonesian Language and Literature Education. This type of research is mixed methods research using a Concurrent Embedded Design. The respondents were 30 undergraduate students of Indonesian Language and Literature Education. Methods of data collection using observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The research instruments used were questionnaires, interview guides, and observation sheets. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test. The study's results, namely critical thinking skills and problem-solving, communication and collaboration, creativity and innovation, and information literacy skills, still needed to be higher for most students. Only the Creativity and Innovation Skills skills differed significantly between the upper and lower semesters. The study findings are discussed, followed by a review of the implications for educational institutions, policymakers, and future research.

“…Kunnskap om unges fritidstekster kan gi verdifull innsikt i hva ungdom kan og hva de interesserer seg for (Michelsen, 2021). Likevel preges både nordisk og internasjonal literacy-forskning ofte av å vaere knyttet til en skolekontekst (Juuhl & Michelsen, 2020;Wusylko et al, 2022). Derfor er det behov for mer forskning på hverdagens tekster.…”

«Det er litt vanskelig å være kritisk til det når man er så vant til å se det» – om ungdomsskoleelevers kritiske refleksjoner over tekster i sosiale medier

I denne artikkelen undersøkes ungdommers kritiske literacy knyttet til hverdagstekster i sosiale medier. I skolen skal elever få verktøy som setter dem i stand til å møte utfordringene i et stadig mer komplisert tekstsamfunn. Derfor trengs kunnskap om tekster fra elevenes hverdag, noe denne studien søker å bidra til. Gjennom multimodal analyse av Instagram-tekster og intervjuer med ungdomsskoleelever, undersøkes hva som kjennetegner teksttyper ungdommer framhever som viktig å vurdere kritisk, samt deres forståelse av hva som er sentralt i vurderingen. Studien viser at ungdommene anser det som viktig å ha kritisk tekstkompetanse i møte med tekster som ikke har en åpenbar hensikt og som kan ha negativ påvirkning på unge. Tekstene kjennetegnes av å framstå som personlige og uformelle, selv om de er publisert offentlig i en kommersiell kontekst. Ungdommene er bevisste på å vurdere tekstenes troverdighet og påvirkningskraft, men normaliserte framstillingsformer gjør dette utfordrende. Funnene peker også mot at samtidig som ungdommene viser forståelse for hva tekstene kommuniserer, trenger de øvelse i multimodal analyse for å sette ord på hvordan de er konstruert. Studien gir dermed indikasjoner på tilnærminger som kan brukes i arbeidet med å hjelpe elever til å bli kritiske tekstkonsumenter og -produsenter i det digitale tekstsamfunnet. English abstract «It is a Bit Challenging to be Critical When You are So Used to Seeing It» – On Lower Secondary School Students’ Critical Reflections on Social Media Texts This article explores the critical literacy of adolescents in relation to everyday texts on social media. In school, students are to be equipped with tools that enable them to face the challenges in an increasingly complex text society. Therefore, knowledge about texts from students’ everyday lives is needed, something this study seeks to contribute to. Through multimodal analysis of Instagram texts and interviews with middle school students, the study investigates what characterizes text types that adolescents emphasize as important to critically assess, as well as their understanding of what is central to the assessment. The study shows that adolescents consider it important to have critical text competence when encountering texts that do not have an obvious purpose and that can have a negative impact on young people. The texts are characterized by appearing personal and informal, even though they are publicly published in a commercial context. Adolescents are conscious of evaluating the credibility and influence of the texts, but normalized modes of representation make this challenging. The findings also suggest that while adolescents demonstrate an understanding of what the texts communicate, they need practice in multimodal analysis to articulate how they are constructed. The study thus provides indications of approaches that can be used in the effort to help students become critical consumers and producers of texts in the digital text society.
