Implementation of the I Book Program as an Effort to Improve Students' Digital Literacy in Schools: A Co-Curricular Program at Sdn 1 Beleka

Abstract

Digital literacy is an essential competence that elementary school students need to develop in response to rapid technological advancement. However, the use of digital technology as a learning resource in elementary schools remains limited. This article aims to describe the implementation of the I Buku Program as an effort to enhance students’ digital literacy through co-curricular activities at SDN 1 Beleka. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving 30 fourth-grade students as the participants. The program was conducted in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through direct observation of students’ participation during the activities and documentation of the program implementation. The results indicate an improvement in students’ learning motivation, their ability to utilize digital media as a source of information, and their understanding of the positive use of technology. Therefore, the I Buku Program can serve as an alternative co-curricular activity to support the improvement of digital literacy among elementary school students.
