PEMANFAATAN TEKNOLOGI DALAM PENDIDIKAN KIMIA SEBAGAI UPAYA MENDUKUNG INDONESIA EMAS

Abstract

Technology plays a crucial role in chemistry education, particularly in achieving the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision through enhancing the quality of human resources and strengthening innovation in science and technology. This article explores the implementation of various technologies, such as e-learning, augmented reality (AR), STEAM approaches, virtual laboratories, mobile learning, and artificial intelligence (AI) in chemistry learning. The findings indicate that technology integration enhances student motivation, conceptual understanding, creativity, and critical and collaborative thinking skills. Additionally, technology expands access to learning, especially for students in remote areas or with limited facilities. However, technology implementation in chemistry education still faces challenges such as access gaps, limited digital competence of teachers, and lack of relevant learning content. Therefore, strengthening infrastructure, continuous training for teachers, and cross-sector collaboration are necessary to ensure optimal and equitable technology use. Thus, technology integration in chemistry education is expected to produce competent, innovative, and globally competitive graduates.
