Abstract

Aspiration is substantial in children’s learning and career development. Unfortunately, the isolation of information in rural areas left the children with a narrow vision of future careers. Utilizing the combination of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and analog learning methods, the project aims to broaden children’s horizons and build a sense of connectedness between them and the world of work. Exploration components and delivery methods were designed and validated with schoolchildren aged 9 to 13 who live in Panglungan Village, Indonesia. Observation, survey, output analysis, and interview are combined to examine the impact of the learning components and the program’s sustainability. The result shows that the learning component designed also help promote aspiration in children in rural area. The research also emphasizes the use of new media in non-formal learning like career exploration and the role of a learning center in rural areas.
