Readiness of Senior High Students in Integrating Digital Technology in The Learning Process: an Approach to Education 4.0

This study investigates the readiness of senior high school students for Education 4.0, employing a Descriptive-Correlational research design with a survey questionnaire administered to 337 respondents. The analysis shows that most respondents are 16 years old, with an even sex distribution and mobile phones as the main gadgets. Mobile data is the primary internet source, and many students live in rural areas without social government support. Respondents are generally well-equipped in digital skills, attitudes, and tool usage. Notably, sex affects the use of digital tools, while household income impacts overall readiness. The study highlights the critical role of teachers in promoting digital integration, showing a positive link between teachers’ support and students’ readiness. Recommendations include targeted teacher professional development, addressing gender-specific digital literacy needs, leveraging web-based simulation learning, and conducting further in-depth studies on students’ digital technology integration experiences.
