Abstract:
The research looked at how people in the Education
community responded to the hoax phenomenon from the
point of view of technology and information. This research
aims to improve the educational component's ability to
analyse different kinds of information or news. This will make
it less likely that fake information will be used as a talking
point or a guide. The method used is qualitative with critical
discourse analysis, where the program's implementation is
through the ASSURE method. The number of respondents is
60 consisting of teachers, parents and students in the sixth
grade of an elementary school in Medan city. The technique
used by researchers to gather data involves grouping various
data, processing it in accordance with the aim to be recorded,
and then deconstructing it using an essential conversation
investigation preparation software created using the ASSURE
approach. The technique of analyzing data was by
implementing the six stages in the ASSURE model, which
represent three other stages: pre-program, program
implementation and post-program. The results show that
critical discourse analysis through the basic conversation
investigation program using the ASSURE method has proven
to be effective and can be used to prevent the spread of hoax
information that can cause various disputes.
