Characteristics of education in different society eras in Indonesia: An empirical study

Review research that analyses topic based on empirical data reported in other studies is still rare. This study aims to determine the empirical evidence regarding the differences in educational characteristics in traditional, modern and globalised societies. This research uses qualitative approach through library research and review. The study results show that educational characteristics in traditional societies are still influenced by culture and kinship principles and have limited information and communication technology (ICT). On the other hand, educational characteristics in modern society are already using ICT, adjusting student needs and improving the quality of teachers and facilities. In addition, the characteristics of education in society in the globalisation era have no space and time boundaries, and most educational activities use ICT. Therefore, this research is expected to be source of information and reflection about the distribution of the quality of education, which has not been evenly distributed until now.
