Abstract

This study explores the role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in enhancing digital competence as a critical element of educational transformation in the 21st century. Digital competence is examined through two main constructs such as Data Information and Knowledge (DIK), and Communication and Collaboration (CC). This research analyzes the impact of ICT on digital competencies, specifically DIK and CC, within the context of 21st century educational transformation. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing IBM SPSS Statistics 22 and AMOS software for optimal data analysis, including confirmatory factor analysis to accurately identify each variable. The study surveyed 100 respondents, comprising Doctoral and Master's program students from the Faculty of Education, through an online questionnaire. The findings indicate that (a) ICT has a significant positive effect on DIK and (b) ICT positively influences CC. The findings show that ICT use significantly affects the development of digital competence, underscoring the significance of incorporating technology into higher education courses to help learners who are prepared for the future. The implications for education highlight the crucial role of ICT in enhancing the quality of education. Continuous development of ICT is essential for improving the digital competencies of educators, which is vital for successfully navigating the educational transformation of the 21st century.

Abstract

Education is a learning process to develop students without force, but students can develop themselves if they feel free physically and mentally. The Independent Curriculum is a national education policy that emphasizes student-centered learning and character building. However, this curriculum is often understood merely as a response to the demands of the times, without being studied in depth from the perspective of the philosophical foundations of national education. On the other hand, Ki Hajar Dewantara’s thinking places character education, responsible freedom of learning, and education without coercion at the core of the educational process. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Ki Hajar Dewantara’s educational thinking to the Independent Curriculum in the framework of character education in higher education. This study used a literature review method with a conceptual-philosophical approach, with primary sources in the form of Ki Hajar Dewantara’s works and official documents of the Independent Curriculum, as well as secondary sources from relevant scientific literature. The results of the study showed that Ki Hajar Dewantara’s educational principles are strongly aligned with the direction and spirit of the Independent Curriculum. The Independent Curriculum can be understood as the actualization of Ki Hajar Dewantara’s educational values in contemporary educational policy.
