Abstract. The Internet has a huge impact on human life, especially
students. Open access to information, will improve the process of disseminating
knowledge. This study aims to analyze the level of effectiveness of the use of
internet media in increasing the knowledge of students in Jakarta on the
history of Islam. The study involved 150 respondents categorized by their
administrative region; South Jakarta, East Jakarta, West Jakarta, North Jakarta
and Central Jakarta. The results of the study were processed descriptively.
Variable in the research are; the attitude of internet users, subjective norms,
interest in learning and learning behavior. The results showed that the use of
the Internet as a media of literacy is currently not optimal. One of the
reasons is, the limitations of internet links that discuss the history of
Islamic knowledge in the form of scientific studies, mostly just a blog that is
less the sense of scientific, so that students prefer to find sources of
literacy from the library (printed book)

Introduction
The Internet becomes a medium of information sources that
were difficult to access. Library is one of the most expensive source of
information, considering that access to the internet is still very difficult
for people in some areas. Internet media, enabling a person in Indonesia to
access libraries at universities at home and abroad (digital liberary) and obtain information indefinitely.
Today millions of people throughout the world are using the
Internet (Ahadzadeh, 2017). Internet access users
continue to increase, in line with the development of communication technology.
Overall e-Marketer predicts the number of internet users in the world reached
3.8 billion in 2018. While in Indonesia the netter population reached 112
million people by 2017 (http://tekno.kompas.com/read/ 2014/11/24/743008 ), making Indonesia as the 6th country with the most
Internet users in the World, where Indonesia has the top five countries in the
internet users in sequence; China, America, United States, India, Brazil and
Japan (www.emarketer.com).
The Internet has a vital role in life in the current era of
technology and information, the ease of access using extensive information
technology through e-mail, chat and social networking sites. From some
activities conducted by accessing the internet social networking site is the
most popular sites, especially for teens. These sites include Facebook,
Twitter, Path, Instagram, Waze, Ask.fm, Tumblr, Pinterest, Linkedln
and Google+. Indonesia has 49 percent of the total population and has active
use of social networks with more than 90 percent of them using mobile phones
(Half of Indonesia's Active Population at Medsos http
/ www.Bisnis.com Accessed January 31, 2018. Duwi Setiya Ariyanti). It is
unfortunate if the internet is only used to access social networking, while on
the other hand many benefits that can be used one of them is as a medium of
learning (Untari, 2014; Hamka,
2015; Kaliky, 2013; Schmar
and Dobler, 2003; Dogruer
et al, 2011). Social Network Sites (SNS) are among the most popular sites on
the web. According to recent rankings from Alexa.com1 of the top 500 sites on
the web, Facebook is ranked second from the top followed by YouTube in third
place and Twitter in ninth places (Al-Saggraf, 2017)
Internet is one of media that can use by student to support
their literacy. Energy literacy is multidimensional, comprising broad content
knowledge as well as affect and behaviour (Chen et al, 2015) and the scientific
literacy is considered as a benchmark of high and low quality of science
education in a country (Rubini et al, 2016). With the internet media as a
medium in learning in the world of education brings a change in teaching and
learning process. There are at least five moves in the learning process, first
from training to appearance, second from classroom to anytime and anywhere,
third from paper to online, four physical facilities to network facilities,
five from real time cycle time (Rosenberg, 2001 ).
When the previous studies on the Internet as examined, the taught in the
traditional (Benoit et al, 2006), thus governments should consider adjusting or
reducing the proportion of inputs and outputs Peng et al, 2017), it’s needed to
stimulate the internet utilizing in educational field
Jakarta is the capital of the State of Indonesia, with a
fairly complex function; as a business center, a center of government and a center
for social and social activities, makes Jakarta one of the areas with high
cultural and religious intetations (Untari et al., 2017). Based on Jakarta BPS data, more than
80 percent of Jakarta's population is Muslim. Many Islamic cultures adorn most
of the history of development of tribes and regions in Indonesia, including
Jakarta, where Betawi is a native tribe of Jakarta has a very close
relationship with the development of Islamic history in the archipelago, this inimenjapan History of Islamic Development is one of the
knowledge that must be understood by the generation young as the next
generation.
Related to the great need of knowledge of the development of
Islamic history in the young generation in Jakarta, and the role of internet in
the life of Urban people such as DKI Jakarta especially students as a
reflection of young scholars, it is important to examine further how high the
level of ability of students in using internet as media literasi
knowledge of Islamic history. The results of the study are expected to give an
overview of the level of students' preferences in finding the source of
literacy through the internet media.

Method
The research was conducted in five
administrative areas of Jakarta; South Jakarta, East Jakarta, North Jakarta,
West Jakarta and Central Jakarta. The respondent category is a Muslim student
who resides in the five areas. The total sample size is 150 people (30 people
per region). The results of the research will be processed descriptively, while
the variables in the study are the attitude of Internet users, subjective norms,
interest in learning and learning behavior (Ricoida
and Pibriana, 2016). The oprationalization
of each variable is described in table 1. To determine whether the data is
normally distributed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and homogeneity test is used as a
reference to determine the decision of statistical test by comparing the output
of homogeneity processing with alpha value (5%). Test of Conformity K Sample is
done to compare the ability of students in using internet as inter-region literasi media.

Based on the resulted questionnaire
recapitulation distributed to 150 respondents at 5 administrative areas of Jakarta followed with
the validity and reliability test, it is stated that all questionnaire question
items are considered valid (with the significance level of 5% and r table of
0.138) and reliable to be utilized as the research instrument. The results of
validity and reliability test may be seen in table 3 below.

Based on the results of the research
instrument test, stated that all instruments are valid and reliable for use in
research. Then the results of the questionnaire recapitulation of the
respondents, subsequent data processing shows that there are differences in
results are quite significant among several variables. The results of data
sorting can be seen in table 4.
First, the researchers test the data normality and homogeneity
test. To determine whether the data is normally distributed using
Kolmogorov-Smirnov. By comparing the alpha value (5%) with the significance
value of the result of processing output. While homogeneity test is used as a
reference to determine the decision of statistical test by comparing the output
of homogeneity processing with alpha value (5%). The output results show that
the data is not normally distributed; on each respondent variable in each
region is 0.000 <of alpha value (0,05). Homogeneity test results also do not
show different results. The results of data recapitulation of all variables in
each region has a 0.000 output result which means smaller when compared with
alpha value 0.05. So it can be interpreted that the
data is heterogeneous. With the data not distributed normal and heterogeneous
then the next statistical data processing using statistical methods Non-Parametrik.

Test of Conformity K Sample is done to
compare the ability of students in using internet as inter-region literasi media. The result of data processing on media
suitability test of K Sample, it is known that there is no difference of students ability in using internet as media of literacy
between students in five areas of Jakarta (Asymp Sig
.0115). This shows that in general the pattern of use and ability of students
in DKI Jakarta in making the internet as a media literasi
tend to be the same. Based on table 4 shows that the attitude variable internet
users have the highest score (3.52). But the use of the internet is not able to
give a significant impact in improving interest in learning and learning
behavior. This is seen from the score of learning interest (2.98) and learning
behavior (2.75) is quite small; where the indicator of “Habit of Working Tasks
and Visits to the library” give the smallest score of variable “Behavior”, it,s mean that nowadays the internet changed the student’s
habit of being lazy to search printed literature in the library, and it’s
related with Bucea et al (2017), that globalization
is associated with an increased data to be prossesed
from electronical processing and e-information made it easy for human being in
many ways (Tsuchiya et al, 2018). This is in line with previous research which
states that 49 internet usage is used only to access social media (Half of
Indonesia's Active Population at Medsos http /
www.Bisnis.com Accessed January 31, 2018. Duwi Setiya Ariyanti).

Conclusion
The
Internet is a medium that has been well known by the public in general,
especially students. It's just based on research shows that current students
are not maximal enough in using internet media as a media literasi
especially knowledge of Islamic history. One of the reasons for the lack of
interest of students in accessing the history of Islam through the internet is
the lack of internet links that discusses the history of Islam in the form of
scientific studies, most of them are less reliable blogs, so students prefer to
find literacy sources from libraries ( printed book).
The results of this study are expected to provide an overview for the writers
and researchers of Islamic history to be able to further export and disseminate
the results of research widely through the internet media. It is also expected
that universities and related institutions to provide access for students to
access e-library from overseas campus, so that students can more easily in
obtaining information and scientific studies about the history of Islam.
E-learning
method as one of the modern learning method can answer the gap that occurs in
conventional learning method that has been applied. It's just that the problem
arises when the motivation of students who less then make information
technology to find ease in the learning process, so the use of the Internet as
a medium of learning and literacy must be balanced with the strengthening of
students' motivation and behavior in the use of the
Internet in learning.
