Introduction
While technology can be a very useful tool to enhance students' learning experience,
there are challenges to overcome such as lack of access to technology, lack of technology
skills, and data security issues (Martini et al., 2019). In addition, the use of technology in
learning can also bring up new issues such as the lack of social interaction between students
and teachers, and the lack of a holistic learning experience. Therefore, it is important for
educators and students to understand and navigate the world of technology-based learning
wisely in order to capitalize on the opportunities that exist and overcome the challenges that
arise. that technology can be a very useful tool to enhance students' learning experience,
however, there are challenges to overcome such as lack of access to technology, lack of
technology skills, and data security issues. In addition, the use of technology in learning can
also bring up new issues such as the lack of social interaction between students and teachers
students and teachers, and the lack of a holistic learning experience. Therefore, it is
important for educators and students to understand and navigate the world of technology-
based learning wisely in order to capitalize on the opportunities that exist and overcome the
challenges that arise.
While technology can have a positive impact on learning, its use can also create new
challenges and problems that need to be addressed. In addition, the use of technology in
learning can also change the way students learn and interact with teachers and classmates, so
there needs to be an understanding and adjustment in dealing with these changes (Santoso,
2021b). There are changes in the way students learn and interact with teachers and
classmates. The use of technology in learning can bring new challenges and problems such
as the lack of social interaction between students and teachers, and the lack of a holistic
learning experience. However, the use of technology can also provide great opportunities to
enhance students' learning experience, such as the use of online learning platforms, mobile
applications, and innovative learning software. Therefore, the phenomenon of the Education
Revolution in Society 5.0 is a change in the way students learn and interact with teachers and
classmates, and there is a need to understand and adjust to these changes.
There are changes in the way students learn and interact with teachers and classmates.
The use of technology in learning can bring new challenges and problems such as the lack of
social interaction between students and teachers, and the lack of a holistic learning
experience (Santoso, 2021a). However, the use of technology can also provide great
opportunities to improve students' learning experience, such as the use of online learning
platforms, mobile applications, and innovative learning software. Therefore, the
phenomenon of the Education Revolution in Society 5.0 is a change in the way students
learn and interact with teachers and classmates, and there is a need to understand and adjust
to these changes.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Muhtadin &
Santoso, 2022). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social
problems by utilizing various innovations that were born in the era of the Industrial
Revolution 4.0 and centered on technology. Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2021b).
Methods
The approach that researchers use in research is a descriptive qualitative approach.
According to Bogdan and Taylor (1992) in V. Wiratna Sujawerni (2020: 19) explains that
qualitative research is research that produces descriptive data, namely the speech or writing
and behavior of the people observed. This approach is expected to produce an in-depth
description of the speech, writing, and observable behavior of an individual, group,
community, and certain organizations in a certain contextual situation that is studied from a
whole, comprehensive, and holistic perspective (Santoso et al., 2022b). In the Research
Methods of the educational revolution in the era of society 5.0, the methods used are case
study, survey, experiment, and data analysis methods. Each method has certain advantages
and disadvantages, and researchers should choose the method that best suits their research
objectives. Some of the common sources used in technology-based education research are
teachers, students, parents, education experts, and technology experts.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the

The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.

Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.

times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.

communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.

intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual

Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.

provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain

and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in

learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.

and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'

source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of

Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world

Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.

students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field

In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,

carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.

creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI

on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
opportunities of technology-based learning.
The era of Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) is an era where society must solve various
challenges and social problems by utilizing various kinds of innovations born in the era of
the industrial revolution 4.0 (Santoso & Sari, 2019). The Society 5.0 era was introduced by
the Japanese government in 2019 to anticipate the disruptive turmoil of the industrial
revolution 4.0. The existence of the industrial revolution 4.0 is feared to erode the values of
human character that have survived so far.
There are many challenges and changes that must be made in the Society 5.0 era,
including in the field of education, which plays an important role in creating superior human
resources. The era of Society 5.0 can also be interpreted as a concept of a society centered on
human and technology-based. In facing the era of Society 5.0, several basic literacy skills are
needed, namely data literacy (the ability to read, analyze, use information in the digital
world), technological literacy, understanding how machines work, technology applications
(coding, artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering principles, biotech), and human
literacy (humanities, communication, and design). Most importantly, educators must instill
characters that reflect Pancasila students, namely having initiative, high curiosity,
perseverance, adaptability, leadership, and social and cultural awareness.
Then, to prepare for the Society 5.0 era, educators must have skills in the digital field
and think creatively. Educators must be more innovative in teaching by adjusting to the
times. In an increasingly modern era, educators are also required to be able to use various
applications that can support the implementation of learning activities.
Although the era of Society is not educator-centered learning, the function of educators
remains important as a driver of the concept of collaboration (Santoso et al., 2022a). There
are three things that can be utilized by educators, including readiness in terms of
competency-based education, understanding, and utilizing the Internet of things in education
(IoT), utilizing virtual or augmented reality in education, and utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in education which is used to find out and identify learning needs needed by educators
and students.
This is the information we can convey regarding the role of educators in the era of
Society which still cannot be replaced by technological sophistication. Because after all, in
the world of education really needs the role of educators to create quality human resources
through the cultivation of character and moral education (Santoso et al., 2013). Teachers also
play an important role as role models and inspirers in the process of growing students'
creativity. Industrial revolution 4.0 is proven to cause disruption and now the world is
building society 5.0. Disruption is the phenomenon of a number of massive changes that
change the old order system into a new order system.
Instead of increasing efficiency and productivity, society 5.0 is feared to trigger a storm
of disruption that is far greater than the previous industrial revolution. McKinsey (2017)
predicted that around 375 million workers around the world will be forced to change
professions by 2030 as human labor is increasingly replaced by robots with artificial
intelligence. Disruption particularly targets jobs that are reputational, manual, cognitive
Education plays a very important role in the Society 5.0 era. This era demands the
ability to adapt to rapid and ever-evolving technological changes. Therefore, education must
prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era. Education in
the Society 5.0 era should encourage students to develop skills needed to work with
technology, such as programming, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition,
education should also pay attention to the social and emotional aspects of students, so that
they can become competitive individuals and contribute positively to society. As an AI
assistant, I am ready to assist you in understanding the role of education in the Society 5.0
era and provide solutions to improve the quality of education.
In Society 5.0 that will be faced later, not only basic literacy is needed but also other
competencies, namely being able to think critically, reason, be creative, be communicative,
collaborative, and have problem solving skills (Osler & Leung, 2011). As well as having a
character that reflects Pancasila, namely, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability,
leadership, social and cultural awareness. The community is expected to be able to solve
various challenges and social problems that utilize innovations that have been born in the
industrial revolution 4.0.
The role of schools and teaching staff also plays an important role in society 5.0.
Learning activities do not only focus on one source such as books, but educators develop to
receive information from various sources such as the internet and social media. Especially
during the pandemic, learning activities take place through online media using various
supporting applications, such as zoom, google classroom, google classmeeting, and others.
The use of this application media requires more insight from educators, so the role of schools
and teaching staff in society 5.0 which focuses on human labor is very important.
Learning during the pandemic is also planned to take place through hybrid learning or
blended learning. Hybrid learning is a learning method that combines online and offline
learning activities (Rahmayanti, 2019). It takes place when students who are given parental
permission come to school in turn, but students who study from home still get online
learning. Because of this complex process, a qualified workforce and teachers are needed to
foster education in students to prepare society 5.0 generation.
Starting from the aspects of health, education, and economy. Especially in the aspect of
education, the learning methods that were originally able to run normally were forced to be
carried out online (Balliu, 2015). Because of these conditions, all education communities
inevitably have to be literate in technology. Likewise, the development of technology is an
important tool that is very helpful so that the teaching and learning process is still carried
out. This is a challenge for educators and students. This challenge is also an opportunity to
optimize the digitalization of education. It is hoped that with the development of digital
technology transformation in education, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning
activities.
To solve the challenges of education in the era of digital technology, adaptation and
collaboration from various parties are needed. Some consider that the digitalization of
education will digitalization has the potential to have a negative impact on the culture of
education and the quality of human resources (HR) of Indonesian students (Solihah et al.,
2013). On the other hand, digitalization will facilitate the teaching and learning process of
students because students can access teaching materials or exam materials in one network.
The opportunity for digital learning itself is quite large because through digital, the
information we get is wider and everything can be accessed easily. However, there are also
challenges behind digital learning, such as making children addicted to gadgets, making
them unfocused or others because through the internet everything is too free so it is difficult
to filter it. The fast-paced world of education forces us to know and be proficient in the use
of technology.
In the 5.0 era, the industry began to touch the virtual world, in the form of human,
machine and data connectivity, all of which are already everywhere, known as the Internet of
Things (IoT). Industry 5.0 has introduced flexible mass production technology, machines
will operate independently or in coordination with humans, controlling the production
process by synchronizing time by unifying and adjusting production (Hakim, 2018). One of
the unique characteristics of industry 5.0 is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The
development of the industrial revolution era 5.0 certainly has an impact in the world of
education. The era of industrial revolution 5.0 has changed the way of thinking about
education. The changes made are not only ways of teaching, but most importantly changes in
the perspective of the concept of education itself. Therefore, curriculum development for
now and the future must equip students' abilities in the pedagogical dimension, life skills, the
ability to live together (collaboration) and think critically and creatively. Develop soft skills
and transversal skills, as well as invisible skills that are useful in many work situations such
as interpersonal skills, cohabitation, the ability to be a globally minded citizen, and media
and information literacy. The industrial revolution 5.0 in education emphasizes character
education, morals, and role models. This is because the knowledge possessed can be replaced
by technology while the application of soft skills and hard skills possessed by each student
cannot be replaced by technology. In this case, readiness is needed in terms of competency-
based education, understanding and utilization of IoT (Internet of Things), utilization of
virtual or augmented reality and the use and utilization of AI (Artifical Intelligence).
Curriculum development is also one of the things that can direct and shape the character of
students to be ready for the industrial revolution 5.0. To ensure the curriculum runs
optimally, teachers must have competencies, namely educational competence, competence
for technological commercialization, competence in globalization, competence in future
strategies and counselor competence. Teachers also need to be technology-friendly,
collaborative, creative and risk-taking, have a good sense of humor, and teach holistically.
Student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and integration with the community
are things that schools and teachers need to consider in organizing a learning process that is
able to direct and shape the character of students (Santoso, 2020b). Methods such as (1)
flipped classroom, (2) integrating social media, (3) Khan Academy, (4) project-based
learning, (5) moodle, and (6) schoology, or other technology-based ones can be integrated
into the learning process so that students are close to technology and can participate in
learning and keeping pace with the industrial revolution 5.0 in the field of technology. In
addition to the role of students and technology, professional and competent educators will
also be very influential for the future of the world of education in the era of the industrial
revolution 5.0. Educators in the era of society 5.0 must have good skills in the digital field
and also think creatively. A teacher is required to be more innovative and dynamic in
teaching in the classroom. Therefore, there are three things that must be utilized by educators
in the era of society 5.0 as described above including the Internet of Things in the world of
education (IoT), Virtual / Augmented Reality in the world of education, Utilization of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be used to help identify learning needs needed by
students and students of course.
In addition to this, educators must also have skills and have leadership, digital literacy,
communication, entrepreneurship, and problem solving abilities. Because the times are
increasingly advanced plus in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 in all sectors will
become more advanced. If the world of education is not prepared and follows the rapid
development of the times, then education in Indonesia will be very far behind. Educators in
this society 5.0 century must be driving teachers who prioritize students, take the initiative to
make changes, especially for students, take action without anyone telling them to, and
continue to innovate and take sides with students.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the education revolution in the era of Society 5.0 is that technology
has brought about major changes in the way we learn and teach. Technology-based learning
provides wider opportunities and enables more affordable access to education. However,
challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that students remain
engaged and connected in the learning process. Therefore, education must prepare students
for the challenges and opportunities that exist in this era by developing the skills needed to
work with technology, as well as paying attention to the social and emotional aspects of
students. By harnessing the power of AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching
experience and accelerate the overall progress of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to
help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning in the
Society 5.0 era.
Reflections from the journal Education Revolution in Society 5.0 navigating the
challenges and opportunities of technology-based learning show that technology is a key
factor in the transformation of education in the future. Technology-based learning can help
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of learning, as well as enable more
personalized and adaptive learning. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology
is not the ultimate solution to all education problems, as challenges such as the digital divide
and concerns about the replacement of teachers by technology still need to be addressed.
Therefore, a holistic and integrated education strategy is needed to face the challenges and
optimally utilize the opportunities of technology-based learning.
Results and Discussion
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning can be done in several
ways, including: Implementing technology in learning: Technology-based education can be
implemented by utilizing technology such as learning software, mobile applications, and
online learning platforms (Santoso, 2021a). This can help students to learn independently
and improve learning efficiency. Develop an appropriate curriculum: Society 5.0-appropriate
curricula should cover the digital and technological skills needed to face future challenges. It
should be designed to facilitate student-centered learning and enable students to develop
skills relevant to the world of work.
Increasing parental involvement: Parents can play an important role in supporting
technology-based learning by monitoring their child's progress and providing necessary
support (Santoso & Murod, 2021b). Schools can organize meetings with parents to discuss
student progress and provide information on the technology used in learning. Improving
teacher training: Teachers should be trained to teach using technology and utilize digital
resources in learning. This training should include the use of learning software, mobile apps
and online learning platforms.Improving access to technology: Schools should ensure that
students have access to the technology required for technology-based learning. This can be
done by providing learning software, mobile applications, and online learning platforms that
can be accessed by students from home or at school.
The implementation of the Education Revolution in the Era of Society 5.0: Navigating
the Challenges and Opportunities of Technology-Based Learning requires cooperation
between students, teachers, parents, and schools to achieve learning goals that are effective
and relevant to the future.Then reflective and instructive so able to Muhasabah people whose
lives are not careless but live carefully full of reflection (Santoso, 2021a). Then spiritual
intelligence is a person who is ready to go up and ready to go down in quotation marks
which later should not be ignored. A spiritually intelligent person is not someone who is
happy to forget himself if it is difficult to despair, it means that he is not spiritually
intelligent. then spiritually intelligent is a person who is willing to fight and at the same time
willing to sacrifice. A spiritually intelligent person lives in love and is a servant of life who
is not selfish, a life that wants success not to be enjoyed alone but also to share with others
full of love and service to others, these are the characteristics of spiritual intelligence.
Society 5.0 has its own risks associated with the development and use of new technologies.
Careful planning is required to mitigate these risks. In addition, new risk management
systems and processes must be implemented (Santoso et al., 2015). This implies that new
technologies have the potential to change lives in a positive way. However, the world is not
should ignore the dangers and negative impacts of these new technological advancements.
Society's first risk to education is inequality. Inequality and income distribution are
social problems (Santoso & Murod, 2021a). Unequal societies are more likely to experience
social problems such as high crime rates, gender violence and unemployment, among others.
Inequality in the education sector in South Africa is a highly debated topic, and new
technological developments have the potential to enforce this idea. There is a risk that only
the wealthy part of the population can afford new technologies for educational purposes
while the poor are left behind. This was evident with the implementation of the previous
three industrial revolutions. Many people today still do not have access to clean drinking
water, transportation and electricity, or the Internet.
The rapid changes in science and technology require us to be ready to face world
changes, especially in the field of education. One form of change is Society 5.0 (Santoso,
2020b). Society 5.0 is a human being who can solve various challenges and social problems
by utilizing various innovations that were born in the industrial revolution 4.0 era and
centered on technology (Martini et al., 2019). Society 5.0 itself was first introduced by the
Japanese government in 2019. Society 5.0 is a development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
The industrial revolution 4.0 uses artificial intelligence while Society 5.0 focuses on its
technological and humanitarian components.
Education has an important role in the development of the Society 5.0 era, namely to
advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education is needed regarding 21st
century life skills or better known as 4C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,
Collaboration) (Santoso, 2020a). To face the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 that we can
prepare, including Leadership, in the era of society 5.0 we are required to be leaders for
ourselves and dare to make decisions on challenges and be ready in any situation; Foreign
language skills, especially English. Because in this era there are no restrictions to
communicate across countries, and also now all current technology systems provide
instructions in English so it is mandatory; IT technology becomes the main driver.
All knowledge can be searched using the internet, therefore it is necessary to be literate
with technology, have the willingness to develop and improve knowledge; Ability to write,
with good writing skills to encourage and hone creativity, new ideas or innovations; Ability
to solve problems, this ability is very important to have because the 5.0 era is faced with an
unpredictable Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) situation that can
occur in this era (Santoso, 2020a). Critical thinking to be able to solve problems and find the
source of the problem to its roots. critical thinking and analyzing the problems that occur
will be able to find an effective and efficient solution; have high creativity. This is because in
the 5.0 era everything is technology-based and we are still required to continue to innovate to
keep up with the times.
Along with the education revolution in the Society 5.0 era, there is a significant impact
on the way we learn and teach. Technology has enabled learning to become more affordable
and accessible, as well as providing opportunities for greater self-development (Santoso,
2019). However, challenges also arise in terms of adapting to technology and ensuring that
students remain engaged and connected in the learning process. By harnessing the power of
AI, we can optimize the learning and teaching experience, and accelerate the overall progress
of education. As an AI assistant, I am ready to assist you in navigating the challenges and
