The emergence of digital technology in information fields amidst the conditions of the global post-pandemic crisis has promised a variety of solutions because of its inherent multi-facilities on the one hand. However, because of those as well significant threats have emerged on the other hand, such as hoaxes and fraud. The question of how to make this technology a solution must be lived based on digital literacy. Social adaptation in post-COVID-19 requires strengthening digital literacy to produce the expected social conditions. This research employed a qualitative method based on the interview with 25 LIS students chosen due to their connectivities with current digital literacy issues and the pandemic at five universities in Indonesia. Those students' voices have been considered enough to represent studied phenomena after investigation. The interview data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's three steps of data display, reduction, and verification. The research found that the way of Gen Z society actualizes itself in adjusting to the post-pandemic environment is vital in several aspects that consist of identity, critical reasoning, social participation, and societal empowerment. Besides, digital literacy in the context of social adaptation functions as a means of society, strengthening the position of rights, responsibilities, citizenship, and community safety. The research has successfully discovered the phenomena of those aspects based on in-depth qualitative analysis. Unfortunately, it is limited to the descriptive analysis framed in a narrative condition. Therefore, further research needs to consider the quantitative trends to discover the generation's adaptability level in encountering the COVID-19 pandemic.
在後疫情危機下萌生於資訊領域的數位科技,因其多功能提供許多解方,卻也帶來詐欺等重大威脅。如何善用這些科技,依賴數位素養;在後COVID-19疫情時代下,更需透過數位素養進行社會適應以維持社會狀態。考量圖資領域與當前數位素養問題和疫情之聯繫,本研究針對25位來自印尼5所大學的圖資領域學生進行質性訪談研究;再以Miles與Huberman的資料呈現、限縮與驗證三階段進行分析。研究發現數位素養達成的社會適應,影響Z世代於身分認同、批判性推論、社會參與、社會賦權的自我實現,亦增強了社會權利、責任、公民意識與社群安全。本研究透過深度訪談方法發現上述現象,但僅限於敘事情境下的描述分析,後續研究應考慮透過量化趨勢探討該世代面臨COVID-19的適應程度。
