we explore Digitalization in Education.

We are Zia, Aquilla, Aila, Dio, and Hima. In our Grade 5 Exhibition, we explore Digitalization in Education.

We identified a problem in traditional classrooms where students are less engaged and learning feels less meaningful. We connect this issue to government programs that promote digital learning, such as the use of smart boards and technology in schools. Through this inquiry, we aim to understand how digitalization can improve student engagement and create more effective learning experiences.

Interactive Flat Panel (IFP)

IFP most commonly refers to an Interactive Flat Panel, a touchscreen, all-in-one display used in classrooms and businesses for collaboration. It functions as a digital whiteboard, computer, and projector.

The Indonesian government is actively supporting the digitalization of education by providing advanced learning tools such as interactive digital boards, laptops, and external storage devices. In certain regions, additional support like satellite internet and solar panels ensures that schools in remote areas can also access technology.

These initiatives are part of a broader effort to build smart classrooms that promote interactive, engaging, and student-centered learning. By integrating technology into education, the government aims to address challenges in traditional classrooms, where students may feel less engaged, and to create more meaningful and effective learning experiences.

step 1: Identifying Global Issue

Students explore the transdisciplinary theme How We Organize Ourselves. This unit focuses on understanding how human-made systems and communities are interconnected, and how they influence environmental sustainability and societal decision-making.

Through this inquiry, students investigate closely connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:

Quality Education (Goal 4) – promoting inclusive and equitable learning opportunities
Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (Goal 9) – exploring how innovation and systems support sustainable development

Students work collaboratively to research, analyze, and present their understanding of global issues. They develop key skills such as critical thinking, communication, and social responsibility, while taking action to make a positive difference in their communities.

Step 2: Determining Time Frame

As we navigate this Unit of Inquiry, establishing a clear time frame is essential for deep exploration. This phase allows our students to pace their learning, moving from initial curiosity to meaningful action. By setting specific milestones, we ensure that our young Inquirers have the space to research, reflect, and collaborate effectively.

Step 3: Engaging Support From Community

A huge thank you to our guest speaker for joining our Unit of Inquiry on Digital Learning. It was a fantastic session that challenged our students to think about how to use technology for effective education. Seeing our Risk-takers discuss smart ways to use digital tools with a professional was a highlight of the year!
