Abstract

          The advancement of information technology in the twenty-first century, along with changes in communication such as social media, has led to rapid information dissemination. Unfortunately, a significant portion of the presented information may be incorrect or false. This type of information is known as fake news, and it is intended to deceive many people. The impact of fake news is widespread, affecting people, society, and nations, including adolescents who are particularly vulnerable. To address this issue, the author proposes "The Model of Key Skills and Online Risk Prevention in Fake News Assessment for Adolescents," which consists of three parts: 1) a synthesis of key skill components, specifically media literacy skills, information literacy skills, and digital literacy skills; 2) online risks for youth; 3) fake news assessment. This model aims to equip adolescents with the necessary skills to identify and prevent online risks associated with fake news.
