“…Previous research on women's digital competence in Indonesia (Fauzi et al, 2020;Marini et al, 2020;Sitepu & Rajagukguk, 2022;Suwana & Lily, 2017;Tisnawati et al, 2020) has identified the basic issues. First, due to their crucial role in family management, women are less involved in technology than men.…”

The ability to use different Internet-mediated forms is a basic competence in the digital era, which indicates that women, too, need to have adequate digital skills for daily activities. However, previous studies found that women have a lower digital literacy index than men due to their sociocultural role and expectations and less motivation to engage with technology among older individuals. Digital competence is essential to enhance digital inclusivity, especially for women in East Kalimantan Province, following the future challenges of the Capital City of Nusantara (IKN) development and Indonesia Digital Vision 2045. This study employed a quantitative approach, which entailed adapting seven dimensions of digital competence from the DigComp 2.0 model as research instruments: basic knowledge of hardware and software, information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, security, problem-solving, and career-related competencies. This study involved a sample size of 538 women. The findings offer theoretical insights into the employment of the DigComp 2.0 model within a specific context and recommendations for women’s empowerment strategies. The result showed that women’s digital competence level in East Kalimantan was high, except for the content creation and problem- solving. Another intriguing finding is that the level of education was not directly related to the level of digital competence, which contradicts previous studies. Future studies could employ the same instrument to corroborate the findings in this study across diverse sociocultural contexts in Indonesia. Another direction is to consider psychological variables that could influence digital competence.

“…Moreover, research on immigrant youth reveals that social networking sites are being used to create transnational linkages as well as to reinvent and position their collective identities (Jung, 2006; Verkuyten et al, 2019). Namely, the development of literacy in identity‐making practices of multicultural youth is not limited to the physical social spaces of their communities but is also reinforced by transnational socialisation in virtual environments and networks (McDougall et al, 2018; McLean, 2010; Sitepu & Rajagukguk, 2022).…”

“…Digital literacy can be viewed as a culturally situated phenomenon; namely, a phenomenon that can be explained as dependent on and influenced by culture (McDougall et al, 2018; Sitepu & Rajagukguk, 2022). Developing digital literacy is a critical component of schooling in an increasingly multicultural society (Jung, 2006; Kimbell‐Lopez et al, 2016).…”

BackgroundIntegration of digital technologies in schools raises the need of students to master technological, cognitive, and social digital literacy (DL) competencies.ObjectivesBased on Hofstede's dimensional paradigm for defining culture, we address the cultural context and examine perceived and actual DL of Arabic‐speaking minority students in Israel.MethodsFirst, 402 Arabic‐speaking minority students from elementary Arabic‐speaking schools and 232 students from middle schools reported their DL based on the DL framework. Among them, 347 elementary and 205 middle school students performed a battery of DL tasks.Findings and ConclusionsThe findings revealed a very low level of DL performance by minority students in both elementary and middle schools. The highest performance score was in information literacy: M = 1.49 and M = 1.55 out of 5.00 for elementary and middle school students respectively. Despite ubiquitous use of social networks, the lowest score was obtained in social–emotional literacy—0.23 for both elementary and middle school students. In contrast to performance, both elementary and middle school minority students estimated their digital literacy competencies as high or very high. Among the elementary students, a weak correlation was found between their DL perceptions and performance of the photo‐visual, branching, and social–emotional literacies. Among the middle school students, the only significant correlation was found between perceptions and performance of reproduction literacy. The findings raise the need to improve DL competencies of minority students and develop their metacognitive abilities. This helps to assess their DL more accurately, in order to ensure their successful functioning in digital environments. Theoretical and educational implications of the findings are discussed.

“…This condition will certainly be very influential in increasing the targets and goals of campaigns on social media. However, in terms of competence, there is still a gap in the digital literacy level between the young and old generations (Sitepu & Rajagukguk, 2022). In addition, The World Giving Index in 2021 reported that Indonesia is a country with the largest Muslim majority population in the world, which reaches 236.53 million people, and the most generous country in the world These conditions should make Indonesia a fertile ground for collecting donations, including zakat.…”

Zakat campaigns in Indonesia have utilized social media as a platform to address various zakat management problems. This research examines the message strategies used by zakat institutions in their campaigns on social media. Messages are an important component in the success of a campaign to influence the voluntary behavior of campaign targets. The message strategy theory applied in this study refers to Tafesse and Wien, including informational, transformational, and interactional messages. This research uses a quantitative approach, employing muzakki zakat in Dompet Dhuafa Waspada, North Sumatra, as the respondents. Data analysis technique used the SEM-PLS approach with SmartPLS 4.0 software. The research results show that the informational and transformational variables had a significant effect on the decision to pay zakat. Meanwhile, the interactional variables had no significant effect on the decision to pay zakat. Therefore, the role of message strategy in zakat campaigns on social media is important to increase zakat fundraising.
