Abstract

The linkage of education and technology forces digital literacy to emerge as an alternative conceptual framework and practice of using digital media. Meanwhile, early childhood in digital media practices still invites debate. This research does not attempt to question the positive and negative aspects of digital literacy activities for early childhood education but rather explores the extent to which early childhood is able to influence educational discourse regarding digital literacy and provide creative space for educators to create effective learning designs for them. The method used in this study is a mixed-method with an embedded design model. On the quantitative aspect, apart from collecting several samples from the early childhood population, the researcher also collected data in the form of popular early childhood cultural texts which can be grouped into numerical data through keyword searches. Analysis of qualitative data researchers obtained by conducting in-depth interviews as well as observation and collection of related literature. Through the conceptual framework of popular culture embodied in media and cultural studies and combining it with pedagogy analysis, it is found that early childhood is able to choose their own learning model through digital media with consideration of personal tastes and public preferences which is indirectly influenced by the information circuits obtained through digital media following the top search logic and trending issue phenomena. However, the results of this study also show that their choice of using digital media contributes to developing educational discourse regarding media decision making and learning designs to be applied.
