Sustainable Education Using New Communication Technology: Assessment with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)

Abstract

This study explores how new communication technology is implemented in education by mainly focusing on the teacher’s role. With a questionnaire and interview surveys, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was carried out to understand the factors that affect implementing new communication technology in education. New technologies such as the fifth-generation (5G) technology contribute to the realization of ubiquitous and effective learning. Effective adoption of this technology for education is pedagogically based on teachers’ capability and determination to improve students’ learning activities. The results indicate that teachers and students prefer traditional teaching methods to the new technological methods, with a high weight recorded for the “maintaining the traditional teaching tools” criteria in the solution layer. The importance of the criteria layer shows that there are possibilities of implementing new technologies into education with appropriate support. When considering teachers’ effort, time spent, and resources used to prepare adequate materials, teachers are hesitant about using new technology. However, support helps to implement new communication technology successfully into education, especially teaching. Even with the many advantages of new technology, such as 5G, its problems prohibit teachers from actively using new technology. To provide a basic understanding of how to encourage teachers to successfully implement new technology into education, especially teaching, the results of this study help promote the applications used for sustainable education to narrow the educational divide.

Character Education Model for High School Students during the Pandemic in terms of Pedagogic Competence and Teacher Personality

“…(Arlinwibowo et al, 2020). Second, the education curriculum is also concise but still maintains the essence of the target competency achievement of graduates (Wang et al, 2021). Third, the teacher as the spearhead in the learning process needs to be strengthened in its competence.…”

The New Era of Business Digitization through the Implementation of 5G Technology in Romania

“…The development of 5G technology brings significant progress not only in personal life, but also in various business sectors, especially for economic entities active in the field of services. The new era of 5G technology will lead to the development of modern applications for Internet of Things, to new consumer gadgets, and cumulative multiple economic and social benefits for users, because it promises unlimited access to the Internet, in a much faster and more secure manner, with much lower latency, much higher data transfer rate than at present, and more support for Internet of Things [89,90]. Following the application of the statistical test, the null hypothesis (H 0 ) according to which "there are no differences of opinion regarding the economic and social benefits offered by the 5G technology", is not valid, but we validate Hypothesis 3: the innovations of the 5G technology bring economic and social benefits to the economic entities.…”
