KONSENTRASI BELAJAR SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR DI ERA DIGITAL: TANTANGAN DAN SOLUSI

Abstract

This study is motivated by the decline in elementary school students’ learning concentration in the digital era, as indicated by students being easily distracted by the use of gadgets, social media, and low levels of active engagement in the learning process, a condition also observed among students at MI Sukatani, Waluran District, who demonstrate a lack of focus, quickly become bored, and have difficulty maintaining attention during classroom activities; therefore, this study aims to analyze students’ learning concentration in the digital era and to identify the challenges and solutions to improve it. This research employs a literature review approach by collecting and analyzing relevant scientific journals and academic articles concerning the influence of technology, internal and external factors, and instructional strategies on students’ learning concentration. The findings indicate that the decline in learning concentration is influenced by excessive use of digital devices, low learning motivation, less conducive learning environments, and limited variation in teaching methods, while the digital era also increases levels of distraction and students’ dependence on technology. The proposed solutions include the implementation of interactive learning strategies, the use of engaging instructional media, the incorporation of ice-breaking activities, and appropriate supervision of technology use by teachers and parents, indicating that improving students’ learning concentration requires innovative strategies and collaboration among all stakeholders.
