Technology-based Learning and 21st-Century Skills for Primary School Students

Abstract

The 21st-century skills must be presented in the learning process in the digital era for all students, including elementary school students. Various kinds of 21st-century learning content must be integrated into the learning process in the classroom according to the material contained in the independent curriculum. This study aims to analyze technology-based learning and 21st-century skills in elementary school students. Observations of the learning process were carried out on 41 students at SD N 1 Jarum and 143 students at SD IT Persada Bayat within 2 semesters. Students were interviewed in groups and some of them were interviewed individually to get some more specific information. Document analysis was carried out to see various supporting information that can complement the data. The results showed that technology-based learning and 21st-century skills in elementary school students can be applied using critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and collaboration. Various activities can be carried out to support the achievement of this model, including individual activities, small group activities, large groups, in the classroom, outside the classroom, idea-based, product-based, and digital-based activities. This model will be effective if all activities are carried out in a synergistic pattern.
