Teacher Perceptions Towards Chromebook Use in Schools in Sokan District

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the perceptions of elementary and secondary school teachers regarding the use of Chromebooks in learning activities in schools in Sokan District. The background of this research is based on the implementation of an educational digitalization program that encourages the use of technological devices, particularly Chromebooks, as a means to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the learning process. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach, collecting data through distributing questionnaires to elementary and secondary school teachers. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe teachers' perceptions regarding ease of use, pedagogical benefits, and obstacles to implementing Chromebooks in the school environment. The results indicate that the majority of teachers have positive perceptions of Chromebook use, particularly in supporting interactive learning, increasing access to digital learning resources, and strengthening technological literacy among students. However, several obstacles remain, including limited internet access, lack of technical training for teachers, and adaptation to changes in technology-based learning models. Based on these findings, this study recommends the need to improve information and communication technology (ICT) competencies for teachers and strengthen digital infrastructure in schools, so that the use of Chromebooks can run optimally and sustainably in supporting the quality of learning in Sokan District.
