Teknologi Informasi dalam Pendidikan Formal dan Non Formal

Introduction

Teknologi informasi dalam pendidikan formal dan non formal. Kaji peran vital Teknologi Informasi (TIK) di pendidikan formal & non-formal. TIK transformasi pembelajaran online, tingkatkan skill digital, atasi tantangan implementasi.

Abstract

This study examines the role and impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the context of formal and non-formal education. Technology, broadly defined as a symbol of knowledge and a means by which humans build civilization, is now intrinsically linked to computer hardware and software in the realm of information. In formal education, ICT has transformed teaching and learning methods through online platforms such as Zoom and Google Classroom, accelerating learning processes, expanding access to diverse learning resources, and supporting distance learning, particularly during the pandemic. Nevertheless, challenges such as infrastructure limitations, varying user preferences, and alignment with local values remain obstacles. On the other hand, in non-formal education, ICT acts as a key facilitator in providing access to digital skills training relevant to the job market, promoting self-directed learning through online platforms, and strengthening digital competencies. A case study at LPK Anita illustrates how the adoption of modern technology can enhance administrative efficiency, improve learning quality, and create entrepreneurial opportunities. However, non-formal education also faces similar challenges, including limited infrastructure, a lack of human resource competence, insufficient funding, and suboptimal strategic management. This study concludes that ICT is an essential effort to deliver information and optimize learning, but its successful implementation heavily depends on proactive management of the various existing barriers.

Review

This study, titled "Teknologi Informasi dalam Pendidikan Formal dan Non Formal," sets out to explore the multifaceted role and impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) across both formal and non-formal educational settings. The abstract effectively broadens the definition of technology before narrowing its focus to the contemporary context of computer hardware and software in delivering information. The paper aims to synthesize how ICT has become an indispensable tool for optimizing learning and disseminating knowledge, positing that its successful implementation critically hinges on the proactive management of inherent barriers. In formal education, the abstract highlights ICT's transformative power in revolutionizing teaching and learning methodologies, particularly through online platforms like Zoom and Google Classroom. It notes the acceleration of learning processes, the expansion of access to diverse resources, and the crucial support for distance learning, especially pertinent during global crises. Concurrently, the study examines the benefits of ICT in non-formal education, where it facilitates digital skills training vital for the job market, promotes self-directed learning, and strengthens overall digital competencies. The inclusion of a case study from LPK Anita serves to illustrate the practical gains in administrative efficiency, learning quality, and the generation of entrepreneurial opportunities through modern technology adoption. Despite recognizing the substantial benefits, the study robustly addresses the significant challenges impeding optimal ICT integration in both sectors. Common obstacles include infrastructure limitations, varying user preferences, and the critical need for alignment with local values. Furthermore, the abstract identifies issues such as a lack of human resource competence, insufficient funding, and suboptimal strategic management as pervasive problems. While concluding that ICT is an essential endeavor, the abstract, and presumably the study, emphasizes that the full realization of its potential is dependent on effective strategies to overcome these persistent and complex barriers.
