ABSTRACT
High exposure to digital information among young people does not automatically ensure their ability to assess the accuracy of information, including information concerning environmental and energy issues. This condition presents a challenge because disinformation can influence public understanding and decision-making regarding sustainability issues. This study aims to map the challenges faced by young people in consuming and evaluating environmental and energy information, formulate an interactive gamification-based digital literacy intervention, and design an integration framework within educational and community ecosystems. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving four participants aged 17–25 years who were interviewed online and analyzed using six-phase thematic analysis. The findings show that participants employed diverse verification strategies, but the depth and consistency of verification varied. Their experiences with environmental disinformation were also diverse, while substantive understanding of energy and environmental issues remained uneven. The findings informed an intervention combining verification practice, environmental and energy knowledge, and decision-making through gamification, integrated into learning and community settings. The proposed intervention aims to foster habits of verifying and responsibly sharing information. Its effectiveness has not yet been empirically tested and requires further validation.
ABSTRAK
Paparan informasi digital yang tinggi pada generasi muda tidak otomatis menjamin kemampuan menilai kebenaran informasi, termasuk informasi mengenai isu lingkungan dan energi. Kondisi ini menjadi tantangan karena disinformasi dapat memengaruhi pemahaman dan keputusan publik terkait isu keberlanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan memetakan tantangan generasi muda dalam mengonsumsi dan mengevaluasi informasi lingkungan dan energi, merumuskan intervensi literasi digital berbasis gamifikasi interaktif, serta mendesain kerangka integrasinya dalam ekosistem pendidikan dan kemasyarakatan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan empat partisipan berusia 17–25 tahun yang diwawancarai secara daring dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik enam tahap. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa partisipan memiliki strategi verifikasi yang beragam, tetapi kedalaman pemeriksaan dan konsistensinya berbeda. Pengalaman menghadapi disinformasi lingkungan juga tidak seragam, sementara pemahaman substantif mengenai energi dan lingkungan masih beragam. Temuan merumuskan kebutuhan intervensi yang memadukan latihan verifikasi, pemahaman isu lingkungan-energi, dan pengambilan keputusan melalui gamifikasi, serta integrasinya dalam pembelajaran dan komunitas. Intervensi tersebut diarahkan untuk membentuk kebiasaan memverifikasi dan menyebarkan informasi secara bertanggung jawab. Rancangan ini belum diuji efektivitasnya sehingga memerlukan validasi empiris pada penelitian selanjutnya lebih lanjut.
