Abstract


This study aims to examine the implementation of digital literacy in elementary schools through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. This research is motivated by the urgency of mastering digital literacy at the elementary school level to face the challenges of the 21st century. A total of 200 articles were identified and selected using the Google Scholar database with the help of the Publish or Perish (PoP) application, and 14 articles were obtained that met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that the most dominant approach was qualitative and developmental research (RnD), with the main subjects of primary school students (71.4%). The most studied component of digital literacy is access to technology (85.7%), while the dimensions of digital ethics and security still receive less attention (28.6% each). This shows the need for a more comprehensive approach so that students are not only able to access digital information, but also be able to use it responsibly and safely. This research contributes by mapping trends, challenges, and opportunities in the implementation of digital literacy in primary education, as well as offering practical recommendations in the form of developing digital literacy training for teachers and developing more contextual and sustainable digital learning strategies.
