Pemanfaatan Konten Edukasi Digital dalam Meningkatkan Literasi Digital dan Karakter Belajar Peserta Didik Di Era Society 5.0

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology in the Society 5.0 era has significantly transformed teaching and learning practices in schools. The utilization of digital educational content has emerged as an innovative approach to improving learning quality, digital literacy, and students' learning character. However, its implementation continues to face several challenges, including limited digital literacy skills, suboptimal use of educational technology, and varying levels of teachers' competence in developing digital learning media. This study aims to analyze the utilization of digital educational content in enhancing students' digital literacy and learning character in the Society 5.0 era. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving school principals, teachers, and students selected using purposive sampling. Data credibility was ensured through source triangulation, technique triangulation, time triangulation, and member checking. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the use of digital educational content improves students' ability to access, evaluate, and utilize digital information critically and responsibly. Furthermore, digital content-based learning contributes to the development of positive learning character, including discipline, responsibility, independence, creativity, and collaboration. The successful implementation is supported by teachers' digital competence, adequate technological infrastructure, and strong collaboration between schools and families. This study concludes that digital educational content serves as an effective learning strategy for enhancing students' digital literacy and strengthening their learning character to meet the educational demands of the Society 5.0 era.
