Abstract

The Digital Education Transformation in Indonesia: From Simple to Digital Society in Digital Sociology Perspective. This study explores the complex transformation of education in Indonesia through the lens of digital sociology, examining the fundamental restructuring of pedagogical ecosystems in the digital era. The research aims to analyze the epistemological, methodological, and social shifts occurring in educational practices, knowledge production, and interactive modes within the Indonesian digital landscape. Employing a qualitative library research methodology, the study systematically reviews and critically analyzes academic literature, research reports, and official documents related to digital education. The research adopts a comprehensive approach, utilizing content analysis techniques and theoretical triangulation to interpret the multidimensional aspects of digital educational transformation. Key findings reveal a complex reconfiguration of pedagogical spaces, infrastructure dynamics, and socio-pedagogical processes. The study uncovers the fundamental restructuring of knowledge authority, learning experiences, and social interactions through digital technologies. Critical insights emerge regarding digital infrastructure challenges, epistemological shifts, and the development of new digital competencies that transcend traditional educational boundaries, highlighting the need for a holistic, responsive approach to digital education transformation in Indonesia.
