Integrating Technology and Human Values in Primary Education Toward the Society 5.0 Era

Abstract

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 era marked a major change in the global education system with the arrival of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and the Internet of Things (IoT). This change demands a new paradigm in learning that is not only oriented towards mastering technology, but also on the formation of human values and social character of students. The concept of Society 5.0 is present as a solution that places humans at the center of technological advancement, so that education is expected to be able to balance digital innovation with strengthening moral, ethical, and empathetic values. This study uses a literature study approach by analyzing various scientific literature published in the last five years to identify the direction of transformation of basic education in Indonesia. The results of the study show that the transformation of learning towards Society 5.0 must include increasing digital literacy, strengthening teacher competence, and developing technology-based adaptive curriculum. In addition, the integration of humanistic values is needed to create students who are not only intellectually intelligent, but also have character, ethics, empathy, and are able to utilize technology for progress and common welfare.
