Digital Resilience in the Millennial Generation According to the Islamic Paradigm in Southeast Asia

Covid-19 has required students to interact more intensely with digital due to distance learning. This condition has formed a new habit in adolescents, especially millennial adolescents in interacting with online media. They face risks, negative effects, dangers but also great opportunities with digital activities. How their resilience and self-control skills in choosing the benefits or harms of digital activities are important to note. This study aims to find the resilience of millennial teenagers in digital activities that are excluded from the Islamic dimension by using resilient digital attributes. The research data was collected qualitatively, namely by interviews and observations on adolescents in two countries. The teenagers who were used as informants were students who were involved for a long time in online learning in Indonesia and Malaysia. The results of the study found that adolescents found great challenges in managing themselves to be skilled in interacting with digital media. Religiosity is found to be a tool of self-control of Muslim adolescents in digital behavior. Adolescents also need social and environmental support to strengthen their resilience.
