DISCUSSION
A. Development of Technology According to Experts
Nana Syaodih S. (1997: 67) states that in fact since the first human technology
already exist or are already using the technology. If humans in ancient times with stone or
solve pecan picking fruit with a pole, in fact they are already using the technology, the
technology is simple.
Associated with technology, Angline defines technology as the application of the
behavioral sciences and other natural and applying knowledge to solve the problem.
Another expert, Kast & Rosenweig expressed Technology is the art of utilizing scientific
knowledge. While Iskandar Alisjahbana (1980) formulate a more clear and complete
definition of technology is a way to do something to meet the needs of people with the
help of tools and a sense that seemed to lengthen, strengthen, or create more powerful
members of the body, the senses, and the human brain .
According to Iskandar Alisjahbana (1980) Technology has been known to man
since millions of years ago because of the urge to live a more comfortable, more
prosperous and more prosperous. So since the beginning of civilization actually existed
technology, although the term "technology has not been used. The term "technology" is
derived from "techne" or ways and "logos" or knowledge. So literally technology means
knowledge about how. Understanding the technology itself says is a way to do something
to meet the needs of people with the aid of reason and tools, so that seemed to extend,
strengthen or create more powerful members of the body, the senses and the human brain.
Meanwhile, according to Jacques Ellul (1967) gives the sense of technology as a
"whole rational method leads and has a characteristic efficiency in every field of human
activity.

B. Implementation of ICT (ICT) in education

Computers today is no longer a luxury, this tool has been used in a variety of
occupations, including in education. Benefits Implementation of ICT (ICT) in education,

Facilitate the establishment of skills.
Encouraging continuous lifelong learning.
Improve policy planning and management.
Reduce the digital divide.

1. ICT as a storehouse of knowledge. That is the source of knowledge ICT become so

rich even abundant, good science core (core content) in the school as well as add-learning
material (content supplement) .In this function the internet has a big role as a source of
knowledge that can be widely accessible therein has been connected to a digital library of
thousands, millions of articles / journals, millions of e-books, and on and on.
2. ICT as a learning tool. This means that learning is now much easier with the help of
ICT, to deliver world class and can be presented to all students through ICT equipment
such as multimedia and computer processed instructional media are like posters,
graphics, photographs, images, displays, and other graphic media. Utilization of
Interactive CD, Video Learning, Multimedia presentations, e-learning, including in this
section.
3. ICT as an educational facility. In this regard ICT as a suggestion that complements the
function of the school as an educational institution, particularly nuanced fasilitasfasilitas
electronics such as computer labs, language laboratory equipment, multimedia roared,
sound recording studio, music studio, video production and editing studio.
4. ICT as a standard of competence. This means that ICT as a subject we know Subjects
ICT. This course provides competency standards.

In addition to the role of ICT above, there are other opinions about the role of ICT
in education, namely:
ICT as skills (skills) and Competence:
1. All stakeholders should have the competence and expertise to use ICT for education.
2. Information is the "raw material" of knowledge that must be processed through the
educational process.
3. Sharing of knowledge between the learners with others is absolute and never-ending.
4. Learn about how effective and efficient learning for educators, students, and
stakeholders.
5. Learning is a lifelong process that is applicable to any individual or human.
ICT as Education Infrastructure:
1. Currently many teaching materials stored in digital format with a variety of models

such as multimedia.
The educators, instructors and learners are actively moving from one place to another.
The process of education should be done anytime and anywhere.
Differences in geography education should not be a limitation.
"The network is the school" will be a new phenomenon in the world of education.

ICT as a Source of Learning Materials.

The science develops so quickly.

Educators great spread in various parts of the world.
The books, teaching materials, and references updated continuously.
Innovation requires cooperation of thought.
Without technology, process participants upbringing "up-to-date" takes a long time.

ICT as a Tool and Educational Facilities.

1. Submission of knowledge should consider the context of the real world.
2. Provide illustrations of various phenomena of science to accelerate the absorption of
teaching materials.
3. Students are expected to carry out the exploration of knowledge more freely and
independently.

4. The acquisition of knowledge is derived from the interaction between all students and
educators.
5. The ratio between educators and learners are not limited depending on the process
and the provision of facilities.
ICT as Management Support Education.
1. Every individual requires educational support nonstop every day.
2. Transactions and interactive interaction between stakeholders require back-office
management is strong.
3. Quality of service in the administration of education should be increased gradually.
4. The person is an extremely valuable resource in an institution once limited.
5. The emergence of the existence of inter-system and inter-organizational education.
6. ICT as a Decision Support System.
7. Every individual has the characteristics and their individual talents in education.
8. Educators should improve the competence and skills in various fields of science.
9. The resources are limited, effective management should be done.
10. Institutions should grow over time in terms of range and quality.
11. The government should have knowledge about educational institution profile.

Currently mone has a development program for Information and Communication

Technology on a large scale. There are three important positions in the Ministry of
National Education ICT development programs :
1. Field of vocational, ICT became one of the majors in SMK. ICT development is
technically both hardware and software included in the educational curriculum. The
establishment of ICT centers across Indonesia. To connect schools around ICT center
built WAN (Wireless Area Network) City.
2. Pustekkom, as one of the spearheads in the development of interactive educational
TV, E learning and E High School. This program aims to narrow the gap between the
educational quality of a big city with the area.
3. Jardiknas (National Education Network), aims to integrate the two programs above in
order to form a network that connects all schools in Indonesia. It is estimated that in

future all schools in Indonesia will be connected to the Internet. Looking at the
program organized by the Education Ministry we can utilize the facility because it is
open.
Development of ICT to support the improvement of the quality of education in
Indonesia is something that is absolute. In the Ministry of National Education Strategic
Plan for 2005-2009, the development of ICT education program will be implemented
through the following stages.
1. The first stage includes (a) designing a network system that includes the Internet
network, which connects schools with data centers and applications, as well as the
network and the Internet as a means of communication and information media in
schools, (b) design and create a database application, (c) designing and creating
applications for the management of education management in the central, regional,
and school, and (d) to design and create web-based learning applications, multimedia,
and interactive.
2. The second stage includes (a) implement the system in schools in Indonesia, which
includes the provision of facilities / ICT infrastructure and training of executive and
teacher and (b) designing and making learning applications.
3. The third and fourth stage is the stage of expanding the system implementation in
schools.
Above description is focused on the expected stages carried Ministry of Education in
the 2005-2009 timeframe for the development of ICT in education. In realizing this plan,
the ministry building ICT Center District / City through Jardiknas program comprising
computer network, internet, and TV Education. ICT Center will be connected with
schools and education offices. In addition, teachers should also be equipped with the
knowledge and skills to use ICT tools. To that end, the school management and the need
to determine the readiness of the required ICT training of teachers.
C. The impact of ICT on education activities
Did we in addition to bringing great benefits of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) also has a greater negative effect on the development of the generation

of the nation's children. Currently the most affecting children Indonesian students
currently include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Computer
Mobile
MP4 player
Game Console
The media spectacle such as Television and Film.
But this time we will discuss one of them is a bad influence of Computer Technology.

Positive and negative effects that could arise from this tool certainly more depending on
utilization. When children are allowed to use a computer at random, the effect can be
negative. Instead, the computer will give a positive effect when used wisely, which helps
the child's intellectual development.
D. Set of problems and Internet Solutions in the world of Education
Constraints education can be overcome with the internet that can be accessed by
students at the college. Various kinds of information such as online libraries, online
journals, magazines, and even text books which can be downloaded for free from various
sites in the internet world. Students can search for anything related to the lecture material
presented in class faculty, to compare, to enrich their knowledge, and look for something
that requires clarity and deep understanding.
Problems always arise in the world of education is the lack of information and
reference due to the limited number of learning tools. Availability of books - books in
libraries, especially in private educational institutions is quite alarming and very far from
expectations if the objectives are spawned qualified graduates from universities.
But in practice, socialization internet for education is not as easy as imagined and
expected by many parties, according Rahardjo (2001), the limited use of information
technology is influenced by several things, including the lack of mastery of the English
language, a lack of resources in the Indonesian language, the high cost of access internet,
and unpreparedness educators.
Factors Problems and Solutions in the world of Internet Education.

1. The main problems in the use of any technology works Western society. Technology
products that reaches the general public's use of communication in English, making it
difficult for users such as Indonesian students Scientific Journals generally still low
capacity in a foreign language, whereas a lot of information and knowledge are
engineered in the international language.
2. The lack of information and knowledge in Indonesian, became one of the low use of
the internet in the country. Indonesian public awareness to share knowledge is still
very low compared to overseas. Information is still considered a private matter and
expensive that can not be accessed by all people, making knowledge thrive only for
personal and specific communities.
3. Constraints high cost to use the internet in the country. To access the private internet
using government-owned telephone network one must spend nearly ten thousand
dollars per hour, limiting the use of the internet. This solution can be solved by using
the Internet at Internet cafes with a cheaper cost between two thousand to three
thousand dollars per hour. But still too expensive for a student if necessary to use high
frequency (always use).
4. Problems of educators themselves are still not ready to use Internet technology in the
teaching process due to lack of ability lecturer in this field. Professor would never
suggest to students enriching the result shortage capable own internet facilities. The
final impact that occurs student will not be motivated to develop themselves if the
professor never suggest the use of the non-formal educational resources.

CHAPTER IV
CLOSING
CONCLUSION
Science and technology continue to grow, even today takes place rapidly. The
development was not just a matter of years, months, or days, but in hours, even minutes
or seconds, especially with regard to information and communication technology which
is supported by electronic technology. Its influence extends to many areas of life,
including education. Influence the development of science and technology is very rapid
positive impact and negative effects. Developments in science and technology have a
positive impact with the more open and spread of information and knowledge from and to
the whole world through the boundaries of space and time. The negative impact that a
change in values, norms, rules, or the moral life as opposed to the values, norms, rules,
and moral life of the adopted community. Responding to this situation, the role of
education is very important to develop a positive impact and improve its negative impact.

Education is not antipathy or allergy to the development of science and technology, but
instead became the subject or a pioneer in the development.
