Abstract

Amidst globalization and digital disruption, a nation's resilience is tested, especially among Generation Z. This study aims to analyze the role of character education and social media literacy in strengthening national resilience among Generation Z in Timor-Leste. A quantitative survey with a cross-sectional design was employed with 256 high school students (Generation Z) in Dili, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Character Values Scale, Social Media Literacy Scale, and National Resilience Scale. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that both character education (r = 0.23, p < 0.001) and social media literacy (r = 0.13, p < 0.05) have a significant positive relationship with national resilience. However, in a joint regression model that explained 4.7% of the variance in national resilience (F (2,253) = 7.32, p < 0.01), character education emerged as the sole significant predictor (β = 0.23, p = .001). The implication for the field of education is the critical importance of prioritizing a strong character-based curriculum, complemented by digital media literacy, within the national education system to fortify the younger generation against ideological threats.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the new cadet training program of the Timor Leste National Police in the development of competencies and learning. Using a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design (one-group pre-test and post-test), this study involved 60 cadets as a sample. Data was collected through validated objective test instruments, then analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Paired Sample t-Test, and the Gain Score. The results showed a significant increase between pre-test and post-test scores (p < 0.001), with an average gain score of 0.43 in the medium category. Evaluation based on the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model revealed that although the training succeeded in improving the technical competence of cadets, there is still room for improvement in aspects of the training process, especially in the integration of experience-based learning. The study concluded that the effectiveness of training was partial and emphasized technical readiness rather than mental and contextual readiness. The implications of these results encourage the need to reformulate training approaches to be more adaptive to the learning challenges and tasks of contemporary policing.
