Several competencies use to measure digital literacy competence in State Islamic Senior High School by using digital Jepelidi's digital competency indicators are as follows: Table 1. Jepelidi's digital literacy competencies Competency Access Selecting Understand Analyze Evaluate Definition The competence to get information by operating digital media Choosing a variety of information from various access sources that are considered useful for users Understanding pre-selected information Analyze by checking the advantages and disadvantages of previously understood Information considering the methods and media used Source: JepelidiAos documentation . igital literacy activist network 2. 57 ISTAWA: Jurnal Pendidikan Islam (IJPI)| p-ISSN: 2502-573e-ISSN: 2541-0970 Volume 10. Issue 1 |January- June 2025 So that in the documentation from JepelidiAos the researchers only took some that needed to be studied at State Islamic Senior High School Rejang Lebong, including the competence to access, select, understand, analyze, and evaluate.

Selecting Competence in selecting each material studied means choosing information that suits your needs, being able to ignore information that doesn't match your needs and removing information that doesn't fit your needs. As explained by Mrs. Iim a teacher of Ushul fiqh and Fiqh subjects in learning materials, after accessing, the student selects the material to distinguish the material to present (Iim. Intervie.

In line with Mrs. Iim's statement that the assignment strategy is given once a week, then the next week is discussed, and presented by students so this is following the material to be taught (Iim. Intervie. This strategy is effective because the learning that will be given by the students of State Islamic Senior High School Rejang Lebong needs to always be directed and controlled, with the material presented before the assignment is given. An explanation of the material discusses first so that every week alternately, both groups and individuals continue to discuss the findings that have been accessed and made by students it can be discussed and given an evaluation to students. Likewise, the explanation from Mr. Hernandes in this strategy is in introducing students to students who already understand digital. But this strategy along with the development of students' abilities in the classroom can be applied by providing guidance through mutual discussion and sharing regarding the meeting points of the material being studied.

So this strategy must be adapted to the development of students' abilities through presentations and discussions of the results of their search for lessons through digital literacy because nowadays digital users must use them intelligently, and wisely, and be able to manage accurate truth.
