Abstract: Technological developments in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era changed one's literacy culture into digital

literacy. Digital literacy is a key skill in education today, so it is very important to apply it to every learning.

The use of digital technology in learning can increase student interest and motivation in learning, improve

the quality of the learning process and student learning outcomes. The role of educators must be prepared

more thoroughly and renewed so that educational institutions in Indonesia are ready to face the industrial

revolution 4.0.

1 INTRODUCTION

Indonesia faces the era of the Industrial Revolution

4.0, is expected to improve in preparing relevant

needs to face the challenges ahead, especially in the

field of education. Education 4.0 is an education

characterized by the use of digital technology, a

system that can make the learning process take place

continuously without space and time limits. Success

in facing the industrial revolution cannot be

separated from the quality of the teaching staff, to

master expertise, adaptability with new

technological changes and global challenges. If

educators do not make changes in learning

strategies, they will experience great difficulties,

namely facing students who are unable to be

competent with technology, therefore educators

must change in learning strategies (Rizki, 2019).

The digital revolution has started since the third

Industrial Revolution, which at this stage, the world

gained the internet with such fast interconnection,

being able to surf or explore the virtual world using

computers. Changes are different from the previous

industrial revolution, industrial revolution 4.0 is

marked by the development of the Internet of Things

(IoT) followed by new technologies in data science,

artificial intelligence, robotics, cloud and nano

technology (Ghufron, 2018).

AR as an alternative medium of learning in the

future. In the past, the limitations of AR technology

are only used in one place cannot be moved around.

(Fajarianto, 2018)

Quoted from Wikipedia, the 4.0 industrial

revolution has four principles that enable each

company to identify and implement a variety of

industry 4.0 scenarios, including: Interoperability;

the ability of machines, devices, sensors, and

humans to connect and communicate with each other

through the internet media for everything (IoT) or

the internet for audiences (IoT). Information

Transparency; the ability of information systems to

create a virtual copy of the physical world by

enriching digital factory models with sensor data.

Technical support; the first is the ability of an aid

system to help people collect data and make

visualizations in order to make wise decisions.

Second, the ability of the cyber-physical system to

help humans perform a variety of heavy, unpleasant,

or unsafe tasks for humans.

Independent Decree; the ability of the cyber-

physical system to make decisions and perform tasks

as independently as possible.

The development of Information and

Communication Technology or abbreviated ICT that

currently exists contributes to the development of

education, especially in universities, including in the

teaching and learning process. In education the use

of the internet network is digital literacy, which is

capable of reading, writing, understanding and

responding critically to various forms of

communication such as information from digital

media (Cam & Kiyici, 2017). Digital literacy not

only builds knowledge access skills but is also an

indicator of achievement in education.

The new literacy movement is intended to focus

on three main literacies, namely 1) digital literacy,

2) technological literacy, and 3) human literacy.

Utilization of technology has become an

important instrument in the success of independent

learning. The technology that can be utilized by

students in learning success is digital literacy, which

provides opportunities to access and sort out the

information needed. Digital literacy learning

activities must be supported by the ability to look

critically at the information obtained, and the

development of the ability to think critically is an

important aspect for sorting, organizing, organizing

and utilizing that information for learning. Learning

with digital literacy can provide new experiences for

students to develop their potential (Haliq & Riyanti,

2018).

Digital literacy is the interests, attitudes, and

abilities of individuals using digital technology and

communication tools to access, manage, integrate,

analyze and evaluate information, build new

knowledge, create, and communicate with others so

that they can participate effectively in society.

Digital literacy is directed at the aim of

increasing the ability to read, analyze, and use

information in the digital world (Big Data),

technology literacy aims to provide an

understanding of how machines work and

technology applications, and human literacy is

directed at improving communication skills and

mastery of design science (Aoun , 2017).

One of the concepts of digital literacy actions in

learning is strategy, it is important to identify

learning activities that can guide students in

achieving learning goals. Definition of strategy

According to Carl Von Clausewits is the use of

battle to win the war ("the use of engagements for

the object of war"). Rangkuti said that strategy is a

means to an end.

Strategies are structured to build towards student

learning achievement based on learning objectives.

The use of technology is one of the important

strategies, although it is recommended that students

can find and find their own problems, it is very

effective in learning and educators remain as

facilitators (Muliawati & Badu Kusuma, 2019).

Educators are required to have high competence

to produce students who are able to answer the

challenges of the Industrial Revolution 4.0.

educators are demanded to be able to innovate and

be creative, because previous learning systems have

not been accepted by students today and educators

must be oriented towards the development of

technology, information, and communication from

the analog era to the digital era (Nasution &

Nurhafizah, 2019)

The era of the industrial revolution 4.0 is a

formidable challenge for Indonesian teachers.

Quoting Jack Ma in the 2018 World Economic

Forum annual meeting, education is a big challenge

this century. If we don't change the way we educate

and teach, the next 30 years we will experience great

difficulties. Education and learning that is

conditional on the content of knowledge overriding

the content of attitudes and skills as currently being

implemented, will result in students who are unable

to compete with machines. The dominance of

knowledge in education and learning must be

changed so that in the future young Indonesians will

be able to surpass machine intelligence while being

able to be wise in using machines for benefit.

The impact of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution on

Education in Indonesia in this modern era,

information and technology have greatly influenced

school activities. New information and knowledge

spread easily and accessible to anyone who needs it.

In current technological developments the source

of knowledge and information is very easily

accessible. Digital literacy can help students

understand the world through sources of various

sciences, and students become more critical, active,

and competent in learning in the current digital era.

To take advantage of the presence of technology, the

perception of educators and students must change,

namely learning activities must be student-centered,

and educators and students must collaborate with

using technology to create a community that

educates, encourages and supports the learning

process.

2 RESEARCH METHODS

The method used in this article is the literature

review method. The article aims to find out Learning

in Digital Literacy. The data in the article was

obtained based on literature studies, including from

previous studies, books and articles.

3 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Digital literacy trains students at each stage of

learning activities, such as research stages, students

can use the internet as a source of information. For

students who have not been trained in the use of

digital literacy properly will have problems in

finding keywords to get the information needed,

communication stages, students are trained to

communicate the results of the findings into spoken

or written language. Students are trained to

understand and communicate ideas, share ideas that

have become ideas as they have obtained. Digital

literacy in universities can be done with

communication and collaboration in the form of

active participation in digital networks for learning.

The implementation of digital literacy programs

is expected to encourage students, educators and

citizens of educational institutions to support digital

literacy skills. The Four Cs of 21st Century Skills,

namely (1). Critical Thinker, students are

encouraged to think critically and be able to solve

problems by being given problems in learning,

provoked questions and trying to find solutions to

problems by searching for various information via

the internet, (2). Communicator, students are trained

to understand and communicate ideas after

understanding what is learned, students are

encouraged to convey their ideas that have been

obtained through literacy activities, (3).

Collaborator, the ability to cooperate in doing work

with others, with digital literacy of students trained

to be able to collaborate with other students, other

groups of other fields by sharing information

through computer media, (4). Creator, the ability to

be a creator is needed to produce high quality work.

Digital literacy activities in the classroom or at

school have now shifted from conventional literacy

reading using print media to electronic media called

digital literacy (Jayanti, Aryana, & Gunamantha,

2019).

Students faced by educators today are

millennials, who are familiar with the digital world

and are familiar with the flow of information and

industrial technology 4.0. Seeing these challenges,

mkaa educators must continue to learn by increasing

competence so that they are able to face millennial

generation students. Do not let the term term 4.0

students arise, learn in the 3.0 industry space and be

taught by educators from industry 2.0 or even 1.0,

and if this happens then our education will continue

to lag behind other countries that are ready with

changes in education 4.0 (Rizki, 2019)

4 CONCLUSIONS

Learning today has a difference with learning in the

past. Educators must begin one step in change,

namely changing learning strategies that are

centered on educators into student-centered learning

strategies.

The existence of the digital era can replace the

role of educators, especially in the learning process

that is based on the transfer of knowledge,

technology and skills, but the role of educators

remains irreplaceable because it also serves to

develop learners' character, mentality, attitudes

through noble cultural values.
