Abstract

Science and technology are developing rapidly so that they influence every aspect of human life, including in the field of education. The wide coverage of technology in the world of education often means that people do not understand the function and role of the technology so deviations occur. So this research aims to describe the function and role of technology in the world of education. The method used is qualitative with a literature study approach, then the discussion is analyzed descriptively. The research results show that the function of technology is as a tool to provide knowledge and present information. Then it is used as knowledge to strengthen students' learning abilities and direct their activities. Then it is used as learning material to provide simulation experiences and carry out exercises. Finally, it is used as a solution to resolve gaps by continuing to motivate and stimulate discussion between students in villages and cities. So with all of these things, technology can play a role in improving the quality and quality of education and help realize the government's independent learning program policy.
