The Effectiveness of the Digital Technology-Based Educational Transformation Model to Strengthen Police Professional Competence

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the digital technology-based educational transformation model in improving the professional competence of students at the College of Police Science (STIK), Jakarta. Using a mixed method, this study involved 50 students who were surveyed to measure the level of satisfaction and impact of digital technology on professional competence. The results showed that 82% of college students felt better prepared for challenges in the field, while 78% reported improved analytical and investigative skills. The t-test showed p-value = 0.03, indicating the positive influence of digital technology on student competence. A qualitative approach through interviews and observations with 10 students and 5 teachers revealed that students felt more engaged and motivated, while teachers reported that technology supported more interactive learning, despite technical challenges. This study suggests improving technology infrastructure and teacher training to maximize the use of technology in learning. These findings can serve as a reference for police education institutions and other professional training institutions.
