Abstract

The development of digital technology has a negative impact on the growth of student’s self esteem. Students seem to have mastered digital technology but they experience crisis of identity or self-esteem and are not ready to face challenges. The idea that technological progress can solve all the problems of human life has changed the purpose of education. Teachers who are entrusted in the process of forming students’ self esteem are often trapped in the euphoria of digital technology advancement as a symbol of students’ success. This research examines how the role of teachers as educators in schools strengthens students’ self esteem in disruption era so that students are able to anticipate the negative impact of digital technology in their life. The reason is students who have strong self-esteem are ready to face the challenges of life in disruption era. This study uses literature study method by analyzing various writings of experts related to the process of forming students’ self esteem, the role of teachers in primary schools, and the characteristics of disruption era and its impact on student life. This research indicates that teachers have a very important role in the process of forming students' self esteem to anticipate the negative impact of digital techology through education in primary schools. Digital technology will not be able to fulfill the fundamental needs of students to develop their self esteem. Teachers still use digital technology as a medium of learning, but do not eliminate the essence of students' basic needs such as the formation of self esteem.
