Pelatihan Literasi Digital bagi Santri dalam Mendukung Pembelajaran di Era Society 5.0 di Pondok Pesantren Ma'rifatul Falah

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology in the Society 5.0 era requires students to possess digital literacy as one of the essential competencies for supporting effective learning. However, the use of digital technology in Islamic boarding schools has generally been limited to communication and entertainment, while its utilization for educational purposes remains relatively low. This community service program aimed to enhance students' digital literacy competencies through a training program conducted at Ma'rifatul Falah Islamic Boarding School, West Nusa Tenggara. The program employed a Participatory Action approach consisting of needs assessment, training, hands-on practice, mentoring, and evaluation. The training integrated interactive lectures, demonstrations, practical exercises, group discussions, and guided practice in using various digital platforms to support learning activities. Program evaluation was carried out through pre-tests, post-tests, skills observation, and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The results demonstrated significant improvements in students' knowledge and skills in utilizing digital technology for academic purposes, including accessing learning resources, searching for scholarly references, using digital productivity applications, and applying digital ethics and online safety principles. Furthermore, the program encouraged the development of a learning culture that is more adaptive to technological advancement while maintaining the core values of Islamic boarding school education. This initiative is expected to serve as a sustainable model for strengthening digital literacy in Islamic boarding schools and preparing students with the competencies required for learning in the Society 5.0 era
