What is Youth Engagement via Islamic Media Literacy?
Youth Engagement via Islamic Media Literacy refers to educational initiatives that leverage media literacy training to foster critical thinking, cultural identity, and digital citizenship among Muslim youth in Islamic contexts.
This subtopic examines programs teaching Muslim youth to navigate digital media while preserving Islamic values and engaging in community empowerment. Key studies include Yue et al. (2019) with 81 citations on digital citizenship for youth minorities in Southeast Asia and Suroso et al. (2021) with 60 citations analyzing socio-cultural challenges for an Islamic cultured generation. Over 10 papers from 2016-2023 highlight social media's role in religious expression and activism.
Why It Matters
Media literacy programs enable Muslim youth to counter misinformation on social platforms while reinforcing Islamic finance ethics and cultural identity (Yue et al., 2019). In Indonesia, they support digital da'wah and feminist activism, promoting active citizenship amid rising online religious expression (Sikumbang et al., 2023; Parahita, 2019). Evaluations show improved civic participation, vital for community empowerment in Southeast Asian Muslim societies (Epafras, 2016).
Key Research Challenges
Balancing Cultural Preservation
Programs struggle to integrate Islamic values with global digital norms without diluting cultural identity. Suroso et al. (2021) identify computerization's impact on elementary-aged children through socio-cultural analysis. This requires tailored content to avoid Western media dominance.
Measuring Program Effectiveness
Assessing critical thinking gains and long-term digital citizenship is challenging due to subjective metrics. Yue et al. (2019) evaluate online civic participation but note gaps in quantitative youth minority outcomes. Longitudinal studies are scarce.
Countering Online Misinformation
Youth face usury promotion and biased content on social media, complicating Islamic finance discussions. Kamal et al. (2022) show subjective norms influence loan shark intentions moderated by usury knowledge. Interventions need scalable digital tools.
