Abstract

In the era of educational transformation, digital skills are a crucial aspect for teachers in supporting effective learning. Technological developments have changed the educational paradigm towards digitalization, where the teaching-learning process increasingly relies on various digital tools, software, and systems. However, many teachers still face challenges in mastering digital skills that match the needs and demands of modern learning, which has the potential to affect the quality of education in schools. This research aims to analyze the digital skills needed by teachers in the context of educational transformation. The method used is qualitative research with an in-depth interview and observation approach. The research participants consisted of teachers from various disciplines who taught in Junior High Schools (SMP), with the focus of research conducted at Budi Mulia Junior High School, Bogor. This research lasted from February to March 2025. The results of the study show that teachers need skills in the creation of digital learning modules, digital-based assessment systems, and the creation of learning content, such as animated videos. In addition, teachers need not only training related to the use of technology, but also effective pedagogical strategies in integrating technology into learning. Therefore, the training designed must include technical and methodological aspects so that teachers can optimize the use of technology in the learning process.

Abstract

This research analyses the inhibiting factors and formulates strategies to improve the quality of education in inland Papua, known as the “Land of the Black Pearl”. Although the region is rich in natural resources, Papua still faces significant challenges in education access and quality compared to other regions in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with stakeholders, field observations and analyses of relevant documents. This research was conducted in school SD INPRES 40 Aimasi Papua Barat in May-June 2025, involving 8 teachers as participants. The results identified several key inhibiting factors, including limited infrastructure, a shortage and inequality of qualified educators, a curriculum that lacks relevance to the local context, extreme geographical challenges, and socio-cultural and economic factors of the local community. Based on these findings, the study proposes a comprehensive education quality improvement strategy. These strategies include developing adaptive infrastructure, increasing the capacity and equitable distribution of teachers, developing local wisdom-based curricula, utilising information and communication technology (ICT) for distance education, and strengthening the role of communities and local governments in supporting education. It is hoped that this research can make a real contribution to the formulation of more effective policies and intervention programmes.
