PERAN TEKNOLOGI DIGITAL TERHADAP ADMINISTRASI PENDIDIKAN (Studi Kasus pada UPTD SD Negeri 189 Lompoloang dan MIN 2 Wajo Kecamatan Pitumpanua Kabupaten Wajo)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of digital technology in educational administration at UPTD SD Negeri 189 Lompoloang and MIN 2 Wajo in Pitumpanua Subdistrict, Wajo Regency. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that both institutions have utilized various digital technologies, such as Dapodik, EMIS, E-Rapor, ARKAS, Srikandi, Timemark, and Google Drive to support educational administration management. The use of digital technology has proven to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of administration through accelerated data processing, report generation, grade management, as well as savings in time and operational costs. Differences in implementation are evident in the systems used, where Dapodik excels in data synchronization, while EMIS is stronger in personnel data integration. Although challenges remain, such as infrastructure limitations, server disruptions, and the digital competence of some users, digital technology as a whole contributes positively to achieving educational administration that is more effective, efficient, transparent, and accountable.
