Conclusion
Integrating technology in SS learning is an important innovation of educational paradigm for developing
21st-century SS skills. It has solid philosophical and pedagogical foundations in the theory of
constructivism. It has also become an academic and professional commitment among the world
community of SS, because it deemed capable as a vehicle for achieving the NCSS' visions: meaningful,
powerful, value-based, challenging, and active. Various studies are also provide empirical supports for
developing 21st-century skills through technology integration. However, some implications for further
implementations in the classroom, a number of technical constraints, competences, and infrastructure
supports should be attention of the teacher. They need to have sufficient knowledge, attitudes, and
skills for the use effectively. Teachers’ competencies and education curriculum are also expected to
provide a stock of knowledge, attitudes, and skills of technology by designing an adequate curriculum
based on the principles of pedagogy, technology, and philosophy integratively. Finally, future research is
needed to explore how the elements are the critical systems such as standards, assessments and
professional communities’ partnership provide tools and resources that help facilitate and drive it, and
must be aligned to produce a support system that produces 21st SS outcomes for today’s students.
Research on technological devices and integrating models that compatible to K-12 for gaining skills
needed are also important, because the 21st SS skills map for them are different in terms of contents,
levels, and activities of skill are developed. Bridging gaps in access to benefits of technology especially
for the Asia-African students who are socioeconomically disadvantaged are also a challenging study for
future. Moreover, the current studies that provided are very limited.
