The Impact of Project Based Learning on the Critical Thinking Ability and Digital Literacy of fifth-graders in Gubeng 1 Elementary School, Surabaya

Introduction

Does primary school with facilities that support learning using some internet-connected electronic media prove that students in the school understand how to use the media? Do students need to master the skills to use computers to find learning resources on the internet? We often see digital technology in everyday life in recent years. Children are prepared for their future through the introduction, understanding and application of digital technology to the school, community and family environment. This refers to 21st century skills in which there is the ability to think critically, creativity, communication, cooperation, and information literacy and ICT. In fact, the government has given orders to all levels of schools to master the six basic literacy, one of which is digital literacy. We interpret broadly digital literacy as a skill in using, understanding technology, and also understanding the principles and strategies of technology in achieving specific goals that have been determined by developing solutions that have been chosen. Information in this era of globalization has experienced very rapid updates. Information develops continuously and can be accessed in various media. This information is found in print, electronic and online media in various forms. A complex and broad form of literacy is needed to deal with the complexity of the current information environment. In addition, skills-based skills need to be developed to coat literacy skills. Especially the skills to use electronic media devices online and offline. The technology always develops continuously so that it encourages changes in the form of literacy. One of them is digital literacy.
