Abstract


Abstract: Critical literacy has become increasingly crucial in the current digital era, both in education and everyday life. The aim of this research is to explore and analyze how critical literacy can assist students in understanding and evaluating the information they encounter online and how this impacts their ability to think critically. The method employed in this research is a Systematic Literature Review. This research method involves the identification, examination, evaluation, and interpretation of all available studies. The literature sources utilized are drawn from Scopus, DOAJ, and Google Scholar indexes, organized based on predetermined keywords spanning from 2014 to 2024. The findings of this research indicate that critical literacy plays a pivotal role in the process of filtering information in the digital era. It aids the younger generation in developing critical thinking skills and navigating social changes while identifying fake news and misleading headlines. The implications of these findings underscore the importance of fostering critical literacy to support deeper and critical comprehension of information in the current digital environment.
