THE DECLINE OF STUDENTS' RESPECT FOR EDUCATORS IN THE ERA OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Students who have a high dependence on technology tend to be indifferent to the surrounding environment. This resulted in a decrease in students' respect for educators. This study aims to describe how students behave in the era of digital technology and the collaborative efforts of teachers and the surrounding environment in increasing students' respect for educators in schools. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The results show that students' respect in the era of digital technology development is decreasing, so direction and guidance are needed from both the teacher and the surrounding environment to be able to restore the nature of individuals as social beings. To increase respect and prosocial behaviour of students, teachers and the environment design various collaborative activities that are beneficial to the social life of students at school. 

Keywords: digital technology, social relations, prosocial behaviour
