A Bridging the Digital Divide in Education: Disparities in Google Classroom Utilization and Technical Challenges among Urban and Rural Teachers

Astari, Dwi Yulianto · 2025 · Journal of Education Technology

Summary. Rural teachers in Indonesia face significantly greater technical barriers and use Google Classroom less frequently than urban teachers, reflecting a persistent digital divide in school infrastructure and internet connectivity. The study surveyed 395 secondary teachers and found rural areas lack adequate ICT resources. The authors recommend region-specific interventions including targeted digital literacy training and equitable device distribution to enable inclusive online learning across geographical areas.
