Abstract

Reading literacy is a fundamental competency for university students, particularly those in teacher education programs who will be responsible for developing literacy skills in future generations. This study investigated the determinants of reading literacy among 185 university students at the Faculty of Education and Psychology, Universitas Pendidikan Mandalika, Indonesia. Using a quantitative explanatory survey design, hierarchical multiple regression analysis was employed to examine the effects of demographic variables (gender, GPA, semester, and study program), academic engagement, and digital literacy on reading literacy. The results revealed that demographic variables collectively explained 12.4% of the variance in reading literacy (p = .001), with gender and study program emerging as significant predictors. The addition of digital literacy and academic engagement increased the explained variance by 5.5% (p = .003), with digital literacy being the strongest predictor (β = .247, p = .001). Interestingly, academic engagement did not significantly predict reading literacy when controlling for other variables. Moderation analysis indicated that demographic variables did not moderate the relationships between digital literacy or academic engagement and reading literacy (ΔR² = .021, p = .615), suggesting that the benefits of digital literacy on reading skills is consistent across demographic groups. These findings highlight the importance of integrating digital literacy development into teacher education curricula and suggest that interventions to enhance reading literacy should prioritize digital competencies regardless of students' demographic backgrounds.

Abstract

Competency in evaluation research methodology remains limited among Indonesian education practitioners, yet its documentation through national webinars has received insufficient attention in the literature. This article aims to report the implementation and evaluate the outcomes of a national webinar titled “Evaluation Research Methodology: Between Paradigms, Approaches, Methods, and Implementation” as a community service activity using a descriptive evaluative approach. Participant data from an electronic registration form were analyzed using descriptive statistics. A total of 898 participants from 35 provinces joined via Zoom and YouTube Live, comprising predominantly students (64.48%), lecturers (16.48%), and teachers (15.26%), mostly from higher education institutions (62.25%) and Education/Teacher Training disciplines (42.87%). The webinar successfully enhanced participants’ conceptual understanding of evaluation research paradigms, quantitative-qualitative-mixed approaches, key evaluation models (CIPP, Kirkpatrick, Goal-Oriented), and systematic research stages, demonstrating the efficacy of webinars in reaching a national audience for professional capacity building. These findings underscore the need for sustainable development programs, communities of practice, and integration of evaluation research methodology into higher education curricula, thereby contributing to SDG 4 on quality education.
