PEMANFAATAN TEKNOLOGI INFORMASI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PRODUKTIVITAS GURU SD

Abstract

Utilizing Information Technology (IT) has become imperative in enhancing the productivity and quality of primary school (SD) teachers' teaching. However, the challenge of adopting and utilizing IT optimally remains prevalent among many SD teachers. In response to this challenge, the Information Technology Study Program, Universitas Siber Indonesia, initiated community service at SD Pekayon 11 Pagi, East Jakarta, on December 12-13, 2023. This activity was conducted in the form of comprehensive training designed to provide understanding, skills, and practical support to SD teachers in integrating IT into their teaching. The results of this community service recorded significant positive impacts. Teachers experienced an increase in knowledge and skills in utilizing IT, reflected in the paradigm shift in their teaching approach. They were also able to develop creative ideas to create more engaging and interactive learning experiences for students. Furthermore, the integration of IT into teaching has increased student participation and raised awareness among the community about the benefits of technology in education. As a follow-up step, workshops and practical training are planned to support the strengthening of teachers' skills in implementing technology in teaching.
