Penguatan Pendidikan Ekonomi Melalui Integrasi Teknologi Digital: Strategi Dan Implementasi Di Indonesia

Abstract

Economics education plays a strategic role in preparing the younger generation to face theincreasingly complex challenges of the global digital economy. This study aims to identify and analyze strategies for strengthening economics education through digital technology
integration in Indonesia using a qualitative case study approach at SMA Negeri 8 Malang. Datawere collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, documentation, and questionnaires with teachers, principals, curriculum developers, and students. The results
indicate that the use of interactive digital learning media such as educational videos, economicsimulation applications, and e-learning platforms increases students' motivation and understanding of abstract economic concepts. Technology integration also facilitates teachers'curriculum management and real-time learning evaluation. However, there is a significant gap in technology access between students in urban areas and areas with limited infrastructure,
which affects learning outcomes. Therefore, the study emphasizes the need for strengthening technological infrastructure, teacher competency training, and inclusive education policies to
support equitable distribution of technology-based economics education. This study proposes synergy between the government, educational institutions, and the technology community to
realize a sustainable and adaptive digital transformation of education, preparing students to face the dynamics of the digital economy. The findings are expected to form the basis for
strategic policies for developing inclusive and future-oriented digital economic education in Indonesia.
