Abstract

Ruangguru has become one of the most prominent digital education platforms in Indonesia, offering a wide range of interactive learning activities that effectively support students’ academic development. This study investigates the potential of Ruangguru as an assessment tool to enhance students’ self-learning competencies, particularly in English language learning. To achieve this objective, the study identifies the platform’s key features, pedagogical strengths, and its development over time. The analysis is supported by relevant research and informed by Manuel Castells’s theories on media technology and Stuart Hall’s reception analysis. The findings suggest that Ruangguru has significantly shaped Indonesian students’ perceptions of digital learning and demonstrates strong potential in fostering autonomous English learning through accessible, student-centered digital engagement.

Abstract

The rapid digital transformation in English Language Education (ELE) has made teacher readiness a critical determinant of successful technology integration. This study aims to investigate the roles of institutional support, self-efficacy, and technological competence in shaping teachers’ readiness across two distinct educational landscapes: Australia and Indonesia. Adopting a quantitative research design, data were collected from 125 English language teachers and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that institutional support, self-efficacy, and technological competence all exert a positive and significant influence on teacher readiness, collectively explaining 65.8% of the model’s variance (R2=0.658). Among the predictors, self-efficacy emerged as the most dominant driver (β=0.428), highlighting the primacy of internal psychological confidence in adopting digital tools. These results underscore that technology integration is a complex socio-technical process requiring a synergistic approach that balances environmental resources with individual psychological resilience. This study contributes to the field of educational technology by providing a robust cross-cultural model, suggesting that professional development must prioritize building digital agency and supportive ecosystems over mere infrastructure procurement to ensure sustainable digital transitions.

Penyajian informasi program GenRe semakin menantang karena adanya pandemi COVID-19 yang membatasi pertemuan tatap muka sehingga penyampaian informasi program GenRe dimaksimalkan melalui media sosial khususnya Instagram dan YouTube sebagai implementasi kampanye digital. Kajian ini akan membahas tentang efektivitas kampanye digital dalam menyampaikan informasi program GenRe di masa pandemi COVID-19. Data yang digunakan berasal dari media sosial Instagram dan YouTube dengan teknik random sampling dengan memperhatikan jumlah viewer/tingkat interaksi. Untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut, peneliti akan menggunakan Media Theory yang lebih dikenal dengan Media Ecology Theory yang dikemukakan oleh Marshall McLuhan. Dari hasil analisis, penggunaan media sosial Instagram dan YouTube cukup efektif dalam melaksanakan kampanye digital karena pengemasan konten yang kreatif dan mampu menarik minat khalayak
