Subject
smart schools; junior high school 17 pekanbaru; technology readiness index
Description
Currently, Smart Schools have been widely applied in several schools, within the scope of education and services as they are
being encouraged to support Smart City. Smart Schools is a school concept utilizing information technology used in the
teaching and learning process in the class and school administration. One of the schools in Pekanbaru City that will
implement smart schools is Junior High School 17 Pekanbaru. The aspect of building smart schools themselves is not only
adequate infrastructure such as servers, labor, and integrated systems but also the readiness on the part of schools and
students in implementing Smart Schools in the future. Therefore, to find out the level of readiness of prospective users of the
Smart Schools concept, the technology readiness index (TRI) method with four personality variables; optimism,
innovativeness, discomfort, and insecurity was used. The purpose of this research was to find out the readiness index of
prospective users in the implementation of Smart Schools and see what factors need to be improved from the readiness of
prospective users. The results show that teachers and students are ready to apply new technologies in an effort to implement
smart schools at Junior High School 17 Pekanbaru. This can be seen from the results obtained, namely the optimism and
innovation variables received medium to high ratings. for the discomfort and insecurity to be completely low. However, the
student guardians are still unsure because all variables get medium scores. From these results it was stated that Junior High
School 17 Pekanbaru was ready to apply new technology for implementing smart schools. In addition, this research can also
serve as a guideline for other junior high schools in analyzing new technology users, so that the applied technology can run
well
