Promoting Responsible Educational Technology Use to Support Student Achievement: A Community Outreach Program in West Aceh, Indonesia
Main Article Content
Abstract
Rapid advances in information and communication technology (ICT) expand learning opportunities but may also reduce students’ focus when used without guidance. This community outreach program aimed to strengthen students’ and teachers’ understanding of current educational technology trends and promote responsible use aligned with learning goals (with student achievement treated as a medium-term expected outcome). The program offers a low-cost, school-based model for improving digital literacy and supporting digital self-regulation through interactive dialogue and co-generated strategies for managing distraction. An incidental, one-day outreach activity was conducted at SMA Negeri 3 Meulaboh (West Aceh, Indonesia) on 24 November 2025. Delivery used three sessions (presentation, interactive discussion, and question–answer). Process evaluation applied implementation fidelity and structured reflection based on the official activity report. The activity was implemented as planned and was well received. A thematic synthesis of documented discussion/Q&A outputs identified four salient areas: technology as a learning resource, smartphone distraction, the need for guidance in tool selection, and practical self-control strategies (e.g., time management, reducing multitasking, and credibility checks). Dialogue-based micro-interventions on educational technology and digital self-regulation are feasible in school settings and can generate actionable strategies for students and teachers. Future iterations should add simple pre–post measures and follow-up monitoring to better link immediate learning-readiness outcomes to academic achievement.
