DIGITALISASI LITERASI LINGKUNGAN DENGAN BARCODE DI SMA NEGERI 1 DORO

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has encouraged the emergence of
various innovations in school literacy activities. One of these innovations is the use
of barcodes as a medium for environmental literacy digitalization. This study aims
to describe the implementation of barcode-based environmental literacy
digitalization at SMA Negeri 1 Doro, its benefits, and its sustainability potential. This
research employed a qualitative descriptive method through observations and
interviews involving one Indonesian language teacher, one librarian, and 30 tenth-
grade students. The findings reveal that the use of barcodes on various plants within
the school environment enables students to access information quickly and
efficiently through digital devices. This program not only supports the improvement
of students’ reading interest and digital literacy skills but also serves as an integrated
learning medium for Indonesian Language and Biology subjects. Despite its
advantages in providing easy access to information, the program faces several
challenges, including limited information sources, dependence on mobile devices
and internet connectivity, and the need for regular barcode maintenance. Overall,
barcode-based environmental literacy digitalization has the potential to become an
effective educational innovation in fostering digital literacy culture and
environmental awareness in schools, provided that it is supported by sustainable
management and development.
