MEWUJUDKAN SEKOLAH YANG ADAPTIF,INOVATIF DAN UNGGUL DALAM ERA SOCIETY 5.0 DI JENJANG SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

The development of information and communication technology in the Society 5.0

Era demands that educational institutions, including elementary schools, transform

into adaptive, innovative, and excellent institutions. Elementary schools hold a

strategic role in preparing a generation that is not only knowledgeable but also

possesses strong character, digital literacy, and 21st-century skills. This study aims

to analyze the concepts, strategies, and challenges faced by elementary schools in

realizing adaptive, innovative, and excellent educational institutions in the Society

5.0 Era. The method used is a literature review by examining various relevant

academic literatures from the past ten years. The results of the study indicate that

adaptive schools are characterized by the institution's ability to respond to social

dynamics and technological developments through flexible management policies,

digital-based curricula, and technology-based learning. Innovation in elementary

schools becomes the key to improving the quality of educational services, including

the development of digital learning methods, ICT-based student services, and

strengthening character education. Excellent schools are measured not only

through academic achievements but also by students' digital competence,

character, and the transformative leadership of school principals. This

transformation requires collaborative support from parents, the community, and

strategic partnerships among educational stakeholders.
