SOCIAL LITERACY LEVEL OF STUDENTS OF PGMI STUDY PROGRAM IAIN MADURA

Abstract

This study aims to measure the level of social literacy of students of the Elementary Madrasah Teacher Education Study Program (PGMI) at IAIN Madura. Social literacy includes an individual's ability to understand, analyze, and participate in various social issues that develop in society, as well as being able to respond to information critically. The method used in this study is quantitative descriptive with data collection techniques through questionnaires distributed to PGMI students. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistical techniques to describe the level of social literacy based on aspects of students' knowledge, attitudes, and skills towards social issues. The results of the study indicate that the level of social literacy of PGMI IAIN Madura students is quite good, with most students being able to understand social issues and demonstrate a critical attitude towards existing social phenomena. However, there are several areas that still need to be improved, such as students' ability to analyze social issues in depth and actively contribute to solving social problems. This study is expected to provide insight for the development of a better curriculum and facilitate learning that leads to increased social literacy among PGMI IAIN Madura students.
