Ringkesan wawasan

Disinformation is increasingly used by cybercriminals and foreign entities, challenging agencies and educational institutions to teach media literacy, especially to the youth. Studies show a concerning trend where many young people struggle to differentiate between real and fake news, prompting initiatives like games and websites to educate them. These efforts, ranging from public training programs to enhanced digital literacy in school curriculums, aim to empower individuals in discerning truth, but also face challenges like cyber-attacks and evolving disinformation tactics.

Konteks pelatihan warta palsu umum

Disinformation campaigns are becoming more frequent as cybercriminals and foreign governments find success in utilizing this tactic. However, as conspiracy theorists and fake news superspreaders victimize the public, federal agencies and educational organizations worldwide scramble to educate communities about media literacy, particularly the younger generation. A 2016 study conducted by the Stanford History Education Group (SHEG) found that middle and high school students mostly failed to identify credible sources from unreliable ones. 

Ing taun 2019, SHEG nindakake studi tindak lanjut babagan kemampuan wong enom kanggo verifikasi klaim ing media sosial utawa Internet. Dheweke ngrekrut siswa sekolah menengah 3,000 kanggo riset lan njamin macem-macem profil kanggo nggambarake populasi AS. Asil padha sobering. Luwih saka setengah responden percaya yen video kualitas rendah ing Facebook sing nggambarake isi surat suara minangka bukti nyata saka penipuan pemilih ing sekolah dasar AS 2016, sanajan rekaman kasebut saka Rusia. Kajaba iku, luwih saka 96 persen ora bisa ngenali manawa klompok penolakan owah-owahan iklim ana hubungane karo industri bahan bakar fosil. 

Minangka asil saka temuan kasebut, universitas lan organisasi nirlaba kerja sama kanggo nggawe program pelatihan warta palsu umum, kalebu katrampilan literasi digital. Sauntara kuwi, Uni Eropa (EU) ngluncurake kursus singkat SMART-EU babagan disinformasi, proyek multi-generasi sing nawakake alat latihan, ide, lan sumber daya kanggo wong enom lan wong tuwa.

Dampak gangguan

Ing 2019, peneliti Universitas Cambridge lan grup media Walanda Drog ngluncurake game browser situs web, Bad News, kanggo "inoculate" wong marang warta palsu lan sinau efek saka game kasebut. Bad News menehi pemain berita berita palsu lan njaluk supaya bisa dipercaya kanthi skala saka siji nganti lima. Asil kasebut nandheske yen sadurunge muter Bad News, peserta 21 persen luwih bisa dibujuk dening berita utama berita palsu. Para panaliti nyatakake yen pengin ngembangake cara sing prasaja lan nyenengake kanggo netepake literasi media ing pamirsa sing luwih enom lan banjur ndeleng suwene efek kasebut. Mula, versi Bad News digawe kanggo bocah-bocah umur 8-10 lan kasedhiya ing 10 basa. 

Similarly, Google released a website designed to help children “be Internet awesome.” The site explains “The Internet Code of Awesome,” which includes tips on detecting if a piece of information is false, verifying the source, and sharing content. Aside from identifying inaccurate content, the site teaches children how to protect their privacy and safely interact with others online.

The site also has games and a curriculum for teachers who want to incorporate fake news training into their educational programs. To build this resource and make it multi-functional, Google collaborated with nonprofits like the Internet Keep Safe Coalition and the Family Online Safety Institute.
