Abstract

Integrating global issues into teacher education curricula is essential for preparing future educators with global competence—the ability to understand global challenges, respect diverse perspectives, and act toward sustainable development. This study investigates the strategic integration of global issues into the development of the Kurikulum Merdeka at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) Bandung. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with faculty members, program heads, and curriculum developers, supported by document analysis and participatory observation. The findings show that UPI has taken progressive steps in integrating global themes—such as sustainability, social justice, global literacy, and digital citizenship—into courses, student projects, and academic collaborations. Initiatives like Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) and SDG-based community service programs highlight UPI’s commitment to global education. However, implementation remains uneven across departments, with challenges such as limited faculty training, insufficient digital infrastructure, and a lack of shared understanding regarding the importance of global competencies. The study concludes that a systemic and institutionalized approach is required to embed global literacy as a core element of teacher education. Strengthening faculty capacity, curriculum flexibility, and international collaboration will be key to ensuring that future teachers are not only locally grounded but also globally responsive.

Abstract

Digital-based education has become a global paradigm that requires a comprehensive transformation in regulations, management, leadership, and institutional frameworks within higher education. This study aims to identify global issues in digital education relevant to Islamic higher education institutions; analyze UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung’s strategic responses and policy adaptations to these global demands; describe internal and external challenges during the digital transformation toward a World Class University (WCU); and provide strategic recommendations for a sustainable and globally competitive digital education system. This research employs a literature review, collecting data through analysis of institutional documents, and online news tracking related to digitalization, leadership, and higher education regulations. The findings reveal that UIN Bandung addresses global challenges—such as technological disruption, digital inequality, and accreditation demands—by strengthening online learning regulations, modernizing digital-based management services, fostering transformational leadership, and establishing adaptive digital institutions. Key challenges include infrastructure limitations, uneven digital literacy, limited internationalization of digital programs, and a slow organizational cultural shift. To overcome these issues, the university implements comprehensive strategies, including strengthening digital infrastructure, reforming globally oriented curricula, enhancing digital competencies among academic communities, and promoting international collaboration. The study emphasizes that comprehensive institutional readiness is essential for UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung to realize its vision as a World Class Digital University that is adaptive, ethical, and globally competitive.

Abstract

This study explores the strategies and readiness of the Early Childhood Education (PAUD) Program at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) in developing a global-standard education model rooted in local and national values. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, interviews with educators and administrators, and document analysis at TK-KB-DC Lab UPI Bumi Siliwangi. The findings reveal that UPI’s laboratory school implements a contextual learning ecosystem by integrating child-centered pedagogy, holistic-integrative early education, and multicultural values, while incorporating national curriculum regulations. The learning environment fosters creativity, empathy, and independent thinking through thematic, play-based, and multisensory activities. Strategies such as the BKBB (Culture, National Character, and Play) model, international partnerships, digital learning integration, and active parent involvement highlight the institution’s adaptability to global education demands. This research concludes that UPI successfully builds a prototype of early childhood education that is globally competitive yet deeply rooted in Indonesian cultural and educational values, supporting the vision of World Class Education.

Abstract

In response to the global urgency for education systems to adapt to the demands of the 21st century, this study examines strategic efforts to enhance education quality through digitalization at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) Bumi Siliwangi’s partner schools. As nations strive to develop competitive and future-ready human capital, integrating digital technologies into school systems has become a critical pathway toward achieving World Class Education. This research investigates how digital tools—such as Learning Management Systems, multimedia platforms, and online communication applications—are utilized to transform learning processes, administrative operations, and stakeholder engagement. Key enablers identified include visionary leadership, ongoing professional development, infrastructure readiness, and collaborative support from UPI. However, challenges such as digital inequality, varying levels of digital literacy, and resistance to change highlight the need for systemic and sustainable strategies. The findings emphasize that advancing digitalization is not merely a technical upgrade but a cultural shift, requiring long-term commitment and policy alignment to ensure inclusive, high-quality education for all learners.
