Abstract

This study aims to explore the factors influencing the pedagogical competence of elementary school teachers in the digital era. The integration of digital technology into education faces challenges due to gaps in teachers’ pedagogical competence, which are shaped by disparities in infrastructure, digital literacy, access to professional development, policy support, and teacher attitudes and motivation. Employing a survey research design, this study involved 270 elementary school teachers from West Java Province as participants. Data were collected through a validated online questionnaire, with an Aiken’s validity index above 0.8 and a Cronbach’s Alpha reliability estimate of 0.867. Descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis using the Miles and Huberman model were utilized to examine the factors affecting teachers’ pedagogical competence. The results reveal significant disparities in ICT device availability, low digital literacy, limited access to training, weak school policy support, and psychological barriers that hinder ICT integration. Although 73% of teachers believe ICT improves learning outcomes, 54.07% remain hesitant to experiment due to fear of failure. These findings underscore the need for holistic training programs, infrastructure improvements, inclusive policies, and peer learning-based mentoring to strengthen teachers’ pedagogical competence in the digital era.

Abstract

Teacher attendance recording in SMK NU Kaplongan was still manual before using the digital attendance system for years ago. More than half of the teachers did not fill out the attendance list, creating a potential for fraud and negatively impacting learning. This study aims to analyse how teacher discipline development is managed through a web-based QR code attendance system with WhatsApp e-notifications at SMK NU Kaplongan Indramayu, and to evaluate the impact of this management on teacher discipline development through the attendance system technology. This study uses a qualitative method with an exploratory case study approach. Primary data sources for this study include 1 person—the school principal, 1 person—the curriculum manager, 1 person—the head of IT, and 5 people—teachers. The selection of informants is not random but is based on purposive criteria and specific considerations. Data collection was conducted from December 2024 to January 2025. The data collection techniques used in this study are observation, interviews, documentation, and a combination of these methods. Data analysis techniques involve categorising data, breaking it down into units, synthesising it, organising it into patterns, selecting it for discussion, and finally drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the development of teacher attendance discipline through a web-based QR code attendance system with WhatsApp e-notifications is managed effectively, including planning, organising, implementing, and supervising. However, the impact of this system on teachers' disciplinary awareness of barcode card use at arrival and departure remains low, with arrival at 53-63% and departure at 11-13%. Monitoring teacher attendance through this system does not guarantee that teachers consistently utilise a web-based QR code attendance system with WhatsApp e-notifications.
