INTRODUCTION
It has been almost more than 2 years that the world has experienced a pandemic due to
Covid-19. One of the impacts directly felt due to this pandemic is the existence of a Home
Study policy where students do not go to school, but study at their respective homes using
gadgets (Mutiara, 2021). Entering the 21st century which demands the era of the industrial
revolution 4.0 (Nurlaila, Aryani, & Senorita, 2022), the challenges faced by society are also
more numerous in order to realize quality Human Resources (HR) but also remain noble,
especially students who are devoted to being students who have a Pancasila student profile
(Aziz & Ahmad, 2012).
As a result of the presence of globalization and digital technology that is so fast, it is
not uncommon for members of the public including teachers, parents, and schools to have
problems with the progress of this technology (Ulfah, 2020). One of the things that is
experienced by schools in the South Jakarta area is the problem that arises as a result of
students mostly holding gadgets during online learning (Distance Learning/PJJ). This was
revealed by Ms. Laili Nisfi Afifah, S.Pd. (Head of SD Islam An-Nuriyah South Jakarta) who
stated that when most of the students at the school entered the post-PJJ Face-to-Face
Learning (PTM) period, there were indications of experiencing gadget addiction, and some
students even often accessed pornographic content. It is known that this started from reports
from teachers at the school where during the post-PJJ PTM, several students were found with
very different postures and language styles. In addition, there was one teacher who received a
report from the student's parents where the student had been found to be addicted to gadgets
and often accessed pornographic content, and based on the teacher's search results, the
student in question was distributing videos and content that was less accessible for children
aged elementary school to one of the class group Whatsapp media in which there is no
teacher/homeroom teacher.

Departing from these problems, the teachers did not remain silent, and then tried to
track the gadgets that were accessed by children by communicating with the parents of
students (Nasution, 2021). The search resulted in several chat histories on Whatsapp for class
groups containing pornographic content, videos and stickers. After further observation, it
turned out that they got the content, videos and stickers from the surrounding environment
who were already at the junior and senior high school levels (Wonoseputro, 2007).
In response to this, the school has taken action in the form of summoning parents of
students who indicated they are addicted to gadgets and spreading content that is
inappropriate for elementary school-age children. From this it was followed up by carrying
out special supervision of these students by providing assistance before starting learning they
were required to read prayers and istighfar and monitored during the implementation of
learning.
Figure 1. The team's FGD with the Head of SD An-Nuriyah South Jakarta
From the results of discussions with the Principal of SD Islam An-Nuriyah South
Jakarta, and also based on an analysis of the questionnaires given to teachers and parents of
students, it was obtained that 62.5% of students at the school indicated that they were
addicted to gadgets, and 37.5% stated that there was no indication of gadget addiction.
According to Ms. Laili, even though there have been several actions taken by the school in
overcoming the problem, it is not enough considering the very rapid development of the era
where information technology innovation creates its own dilemma. On the one hand, this
technological progress is good because it can create new ideas and ideas and innovations both
in the field of education and in the field of society (Srilaksmi & Indrayasa, 2020). However,
as human beings as well as parents who will prepare children for 21st century learning, they
are expected to be able to have a Pancasila student profile, namely 1) Faith, piety to God
Almighty and noble character; 2) Independent; 3) Collaborate; 4) Global diversity; 5) Critical
reasoning; and 6) Creative. In other words, we must prepare our generation of children both
physically and mentally to face the industrial revolution period. Then what is the role of an
educator both teachers and parents in educating the millennial generation, so we as parents
must be willing to keep up with the times. If we don't want to get involved, don't want to be
involved, don't want to know, then our children have gone further, so we won't be able to
control our children properly (Darmiwati, 2004).
Demands in the field of Information and Technology (IT) are very relevant in this 21st
century learning period. Mastery of Science and Technology is very important for both
teachers and parents, because during the COVID-9 pandemic which has been going on for 2
years, when the government implemented a study at home policy, parents at home also
played a double role as teachers (Winarsieh & Rizqiyah, 2020). So that parents need to carry
out strict supervision of children in using gadgets so that time can be controlled and also
parents can control the content that children watch (Rinaldi, Mauliani, & Lissimia, 2017).

Based on the situation analysis carried out by the service team, the condition of
Distance Learning (PJJ) has created a lot of polemics for the community, especially teachers
and parents who deal with students every day. Therefore the service team intends to propose
a training as an effort to prevent gadget addiction in children by using the family link
application.
This research aims to provide education on how to educate children in the 21st century
learning era, conduct training in efforts to prevent children's addiction to gadgets by using the
family link application and conduct training in efforts to monitor content that can be accessed
by children using the family link application.

In this Community Partnership Program activity there are inhibiting factors and
supporting factors. The inhibiting factors experienced in this activity are as follows:
1. Lack of knowledge about the use of information technology, especially in terms of
knowledge about family link applications
2. Limited space owned by partner places, so the number of participants who take part in this
Community Partnership Program is limited
3. There were 2 participants who had not collected the bills/tasks that had been determined,
due to network constraints and misunderstanding in using the family link application.
In addition to the factors that hinder these activities, there are also factors that support
this PKM activity. These supporting factors include:
1. The existence of An-Nuriyah Islamic Elementary School which has an extraordinary
desire and enthusiasm to partner in this PKM activity is coupled with the support of the
school committee in the school.
2. About 60% of the participants who took part in this activity came from school committee
members (parents of students).

are: evaluation efforts in activities that are carried out on an ongoing basis, so that existing
and implemented programs get maximum results, because there is a need for more in-depth
coaching at partner institutions of the Community Activity Program.
