<![CDATA[Perkembangan teknologi digital telah mendorong penggunaan aplikasi berbasis teknologi di berbagai kelompok usia, termasuk siswa sekolah menengah pertama. Namun, pemanfaatan teknologi di kalangan siswa umumnya masih terbatas pada perangkat portabel seperti smartphone dan laptop, sementara penguasaan perangkat komputer personal (PC) dan aplikasi pengolah data dasar masih relatif rendah. Kondisi ini ditemukan pada siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri 3 Palembayan, meskipun sekolah telah memiliki fasilitas laboratorium komputer yang belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal akibat keterbatasan tenaga pendidik TIK. Sebagai upaya untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, dilaksanakan Program Penerapan Teknologi di Sekolah (PETIS) yang bertujuan meningkatkan literasi teknologi siswa melalui pengenalan dan pelatihan penggunaan PC serta aplikasi pengolah data dasar, seperti Microsoft Word dan Microsoft Excel. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan meliputi pemberian materi, praktik langsung, dan pendampingan penggunaan aplikasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman dan keterampilan siswa dalam mengoperasikan PC serta menggunakan aplikasi pengolah data dasar secara mandiri. Program ini diharapkan dapat menjadi langkah awal dalam menyiapkan siswa menghadapi tuntutan penggunaan teknologi di dunia pendidikan lanjutan dan dunia kerja di masa depan.
The development of digital technology has encouraged the use of technology-based applications across various age groups, including junior high school students. However, the utilization of technology among students is generally still limited to portable devices such as smartphones and laptops, while proficiency in personal computers (PCs) and basic data-processing applications remains relatively low. This condition was observed among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Palembayan, even though the school is equipped with a computer laboratory that has not been optimally utilized due to the limited availability of ICT teaching staff. To address this issue, the School Technology Application Program (Program Penerapan Teknologi di Sekolah/PETIS) was implemented with the aim of improving students’ technological literacy through the introduction and training in the use of PCs and basic data-processing applications, such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. The implementation methods included material delivery, hands-on practice, and guided assistance in using the applications. The results of the program indicate an improvement in students’ understanding and skills in operating PCs and independently using basic data-processing applications. This program is expected to serve as an initial step in preparing students to meet the technological demands of higher education and the future workforce.]]>
