Pengaruh Tingkat Pendidikan Terhadap Pola Komunikasi Masyarakat Perbatasan pada Media Sosial

Abstract

The level of education in border regions remains an issue that affects the quality of community communication on social media. Limited access to education, technological infrastructure, and low digital literacy result in media use that tends to be consumptive and reactive. This study aims to analyze the relationship between educational levels and communication patterns among border communities, identify the educational factors influencing them, and explain the communication patterns that emerge in the digital space. The methodology employed involves a literature review of five primary sources selected based on credibility, relevance, and publication span. The analysis was conducted thematically and descriptively. The results indicate that educational level plays a role in shaping digital literacy and motivations for social media use, which in turn determine the quality of communication. The interaction between educational limitations and technology reinforces unproductive communication patterns. This study recommends strengthening education, digital literacy, and equitable infrastructure to foster more critical and sustainable communication.
