Abstract

Progress era and technological developments impact on the development of the world of education. 21st century skills are the most important issue today. The competencies built in these skills are the hallmark of successful humans in this century. Indonesia is one of the countries that catch on to that progress, as evidenced by the curriculum innovation that includes 21st century skills as a spirit in it. Based on the results of the analysis in the field, there is an imbalance between the implementation and the outcome of the established curriculum. Factors affecting such inequality include; the learning process undertaken does not build the competence proposed, the lack of parental control in the childs education. The lack of good communication between students, teachers and parents is one of the main causes in this regard. On the one hand, parents do not know the condition of their children during the learning process, on the other hand the teacher does not know the characteristics of his child well. This makes the development of the child during the learning process is not optimal so that 21st century skills can not be developed. Innovation of science learning by using the concept of smart city to be an alternative solution to the problem posed by researchers. The concept of smart city indicates transparency in the learning process, so parents can contribute related to the progress of their children. This learning program consists of several features that enable the establishment of communication of students, teachers, and parents in synergy. Thus collaboration in implementing learning can be formed so that the education received by the child to be optimal.
