ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study is to analyze the influence of technology utilization toward knowledge
management implementation on secondary education institution. The methodology used in the study is
inferential statistic analysis; the measurement of correlation coefficient and t-test. The respondents used as the
profession references are teachers, and the sampling technique used is random stratified sampling with 68
people as the respondents based on Slovin technique .The result of the study shows that of technology utilization
has a significant and positive influence toward insight management implementation on the study object.
Key words: Technology utilization, knowledge management, education institution.
Introduction
One of the functions of education institution is to have a responsibility in increasing the capacity of
education society. Beside for the honor task, on the other hand, education institution must have an adaption
ability with various dynamics of advance current in order to increase its existence not to be lost of the modern
era. This dynamic can be seen from the three aspects; subject dynamic (subject to teach), administrative
dynamic, and management (Daulay, 2007).
These various dynamics are believed to be adopted by the education institution in order to gain its
competitive superiority. Simply, it can be stated that the challenge faced by the formal education institution as
the education facilitator, especially related to the occurrence of various changes such as a change from uptown
society to downtown society, from local economics to global economics, from traditional culture to intercultural,
from agrarian society to industry society, from industry society to informative society, from manufacturing
business to thought creation business, and other various values change phenomenon, moral, ethics, and culture
which frequently replace religion value to be more permissive.
These changes accelerations are under the various phenomenons. One of them is science and technology
innovation existence which emerge frequently and produce culture shock, the basic opportunity and unexpected
economic, politic reformation and unpredicted cultural social, reborn of universality and religion, even the
existence of various new value and culture which are frequently different from cultural system and noticed value
system.
To face various dynamics stuff, the education institution must have a will to increase its capacity; one of the
capacity increases in the education institution is by implementing knowledge management. Many researches
showed that one of the most important parts in implementing knowledge management is technology utilization.
This study is aimed to discuss the influence of technology utilization toward knowledge management
implementation on formal education institution of secondary level located in Garut Regency, West Java
Province, Indonesia.
Literature Review:
Information technology is a system of medium and infrastructure and method to gain, transfer, access,
interpret, save, organize and use the data meaningfully. Therefore, the technology utilization provides many
eases in managing information in the meaning of saving, retaking and information updating (Warsita, 2008).
Technology support frequently becomes the requirement success knowledge management; technology’s role is
to make communication getting easier among employees unlimitedly by the distance and time differences.

Supporting knowledge current in order to get accessed fast and easily and facilitating inter-organization
members corporation.
Chong and Yeow (2005) identified a knowledge management as a process to increase a skill and
proficiency which are supported by information technology. According to Brink (2003), technology condition of
knowledge can be defined as technology ability level in facilitating various knowledge activities.
The support of technology facilitation in organization has an important role in encouraging various
knowledge activities in organization. The recent development of technology possibly makes an availability of
one comfortable facility to save, search knowledge communication. The example of technology support in
organization facilitation is by providing groupware, online database, intranet and virtual community. The
development of technology is getting faster and cheaper and it stimulates organization to use technology in
increasing organization performance. Organization can effectively and efficiently gain and use the technology to
support organization activity(Wahjono, 2010). There are information technology functions in education. They
can be divided into seven functions as follow: (a) knowledge store; (b) a learning aid; (c) education facility; (d)
competence standard; (e) administration supporter; (f) school management aid; and (g) education infrastructure
(Warsita, 2008)
The main purpose of technology in education is frequently called as learning/education technology is to
solve a problem in learning of facilitate learning activity. Learning technology has a role as a software
technology which forms systematic methods in solving learning problem and it’s getting sophisticated and has a
good response in education field widely (Warsita, 2008). By so, the practical application of learning technology
I solving learning problem has a concrete form by the existence of learning source which facilitates the students
in student activity.
Methodology:
Methodology used in this research is quantitative model analysis base by using statistic analysis such as
correlation coefficient and t-test. Meanwhile, the respondents of the study are teachers as research object and the
sampling technique used is stratified random sampling with 68 people according to Slovin technique. For the
place of research as the research object used is five formal education institutions which are under one of the
education foundation in Garut District, Indonesia. The variable operation used as follow on table 1.
