Education Support System Trial in Indonesia
improved academic ability for young adults in Indonesia, which has the largest
population in Southeast Asia
Fujitsu Indonesia today announced that they will hold a trial of an education
support system using tablets at the SMA Negeri 74 Jakarta high school from November7
through December 23.
In this trial, teachers and students will make
use of the FUJITSU Tablet ARROWS Tab Q704/H tablets in classes, as well as the
Fujitsu Education Solution K-12 Learning Information Utilization System V1
Chietama. Using the Chietama solution, teachers can easily prepare materials
for lessons using ICT, and can also use such information as automatically
stored lesson records and student learning records to further improve students’
academic abilities. In addition, because students can share their various answers
and creations on the tablet screens, the system improves students’ active
participation in lessons and their teamwork when working in groups. The
companies will validate the effectiveness of this education solution, which has
already produced results in Japan and Thailand, through this trial in the front
lines of education in Indonesia.
This initiative was launched by Fujitsu
Indonesia with the cooperation of the Global Peace Foundation (GPF) Indonesia,
which is a non-governmental organization (NGO) aimed at improving the
capabilities of students in Indonesia.
Background
Indonesia has the largest population in
Southeast Asia at over 250 million people, and about 40% of that population is
under the age of 18. In order to improve the capabilities and educational
standards of these young people, the Jakarta Department of Education and the
GPF launched a program called the Character & Creativity Initiative (CCI)
at 12 high schools, including SMA Negeri 74, in August of 2015. Under this
program, a variety of initiatives have been undertaken, such as work experience
programs, in order to improve the students’ “character”, relating to
their initiative, teamwork, and communication ability, and their
“creativity,” relating to their innovative sensibility and problem
solving ability.
Since 2014, Fujitsu has provided the Chietama
solution in Japan, and in 2015 began offering it in Thailand. Now, through this
first trial of Chietama solution in Indonesia, after demonstrating the
effectiveness of education using ICT, Fujitsu will contribute to increasing
academic ability in Indonesia, which has about 50 million students from
elementary school through high school, and about three million teachers.

4. System Summary
1) Improving lesson experience and achieving
collaborative learning
Teachers can easily prepare lessons using ICT by
just dragging and dropping the data for the materials they plan to use on a
schedule in the Chietama solution. In addition, because information on the
teaching materials used and video of the writing on the blackboard are
automatically stored, and information such as the date and subject being taught
are automatically attached, teachers can use this lesson record data to analyze
their lessons. Moreover, because teachers can search each student’s records
from beginning school till graduation, and visualize their growth process, it
can also be useful in education customized to the individual student.
In addition, by having bi-directional
communication with teachers on the tablet screens, students can not only
participate in lessons as though being taught in a one-on-one teaching
environment, they can also share other students’ answers and work, which can
lead to education from a more multifaceted viewpoint and improvements in
teamwork in group learning.
2) Training for ICT support staff
Based on the knowledge gained from the Learning
Project of Tomorrow(1), Fujitsu also carried out training for the school’s
ICT support staff. By having the ICT support staff help students and teachers
learn how to use the system, they are supporting the digitalization of lessons,
such that the school can hope to achieve ongoing utilization of ICT going
forward.
(1) Learning Project of Tomorrow
A project in which Fujitsu loaned all the
devices and software necessary for lessons using ICT to six elementary and
middle schools, five in five different regions in Japan and one in the ASEAN
region, to support the development of schools and learning suited to the 21st
century.
