Inovasi Pembelajaran IPA Berbasis Teknologi Digital Di Sekolah Dasar: Sebuah Kajian Literatur

Abstract

Science education in elementary schools faces significant challenges in providing concrete, contextual, and meaningful learning experiences for students who remain at the concrete operational stage of development. The emergence of digital technology offers new opportunities for teachers to design more interactive and engaging learning innovations. This study aims to thoroughly examine various forms of digital technology-based innovation in science learning that have been implemented at the elementary education level through a qualitative approach using the library research method. Data sources were obtained from national and international journal articles published within the last five years. The data were analyzed using content analysis techniques involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), interactive applications, e-learning media, and educational digital games have proven effective in enhancing students' motivation, conceptual understanding, and critical thinking skills in science learning. Nevertheless, limited infrastructure and teachers' digital competence remain major obstacles to implementation. This study is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions to the development of more innovative science education in elementary schools.
