Technology integration in learning management: A post-pandemic phenomenological study in elementary schools

Abstract

The post-pandemic period in the education sector is marked by government policies to carry out face-to-face education processes in schools. This situation has the potential to show various changes in learning management in elementary schools, especially with the integration of technology. This study aims to analyse the integration of technology in learning management in elementary schools during the post-pandemic period. This study uses a qualitative approach to the type of phenomenology. The research subjects were elementary school teachers who had been selected through a convenience technique based on the availability of subjects in the field. Data were collected through interviews and documentation. Data were analysed using qualitative analysis through data condensation, data presentation, verification and drawing conclusions. The study’s findings show that the integration of technology in learning management tends to decrease during the post-pandemic period. Some habits of using technology in learning during the pandemic are no longer applied during the pandemic. However, some uses of technology are still maintained, such as the use of the WhatsApp group application in the delivery of learning information and the use of mobile-based assessment applications in learning assessment.
