Utilization Of Information And Communication Technology In Learning At Gajah Mada High School

Abstract

One way to spread information and messages is through educational media. Effectively crafted educational materials greatly aid pupils in assimilation and comprehension of the material. The advancement of learning media has been fueled by the growth of information technology in today's globalized and information-rich environment. There is already a desire for using information and communication technology (ICT) as a learning tool. Even while ICT-based media design calls for specialized knowledge, this does not mean that the medium is shunned or ignored. ICT-based learning resources include mobile phones, CD rooms/flash drives, intranets, and the internet. To adapt to increasingly rapid changes caused by technological advances, learning patterns must be changed. A qualitative approach with a descriptive model was used in this research to analyze and explain how information and communication technology is used in learning at Gajah Mada High School. According to research conducted, the teacher's paradigm in using information and communication technology in learning is still limited to the use of ICT-based computer media as presentation material in the learning process. The use of the internet to search for information about subject matter is still limited, and social networks are still not included as a new learning system. The use of technology as a way to learn in the teaching and learning process can help teachers communicate and interact with their students both in the classroom and outside the classroom. Technology in education is nothing new; has proven to be very important to make students innovative and fun.
