According to a recent report from England, Evidence on the impact of technology on learning and educational outcomes, we might still be ‘e-babies’. This report, which defines ‘e-maturity’ as ‘the extent of provision, management and use of technology to support learning across the curriculum’, states that ‘overall there is a strong body of evidence linking the use of technology to improvements in learning and outcomes for learners.’

The results of my recent online student survey indicate that we are still e-babies in grade 3, growing into e-mature students by grade 10. In this survey, the lowest response rate was 67.4% (29 out of 45 grade 3 students) and the highest was 97.9% (47 out of 48 grade 4 students). Their responses to the question, do you use computers only during ICT time or with other subjects? Please select any other subjects that you have used computer in show a clear gradation at every level from grade 3 to SMA. Note that PE, which was included in the survey for SD, was not part of the SMP/SMA surveys.

Grade 3 students are only using computers for language arts and UOI at this point in time.

Grade 4 has already started using computers for Indonesian and religion.

Grade 5 students are using their own laptops for Indonesian, language arts, math, religion and UOI.

Grade 6 are using their laptops for ethics, Indonesian, language arts, math, religion, science ansd social studies.

SMP students use laptops for all subjects, except art.

SMA students use their laptops for all subjects, including art.
