Competency of TVET Lecturers in Digital and Automation at Public Higher Education Institutions in IR 4.0
Abstract
Digital and Automation Competency among Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) lecturers are crucial in facing the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0). Digital technology and automation have the potential to enhance the quality of education in the country. This study aims to identify the constructs and sub-constructs needed by TVET lecturers to ensure that teaching and learning sessions are more engaging and on par with those in developed countries. The study was conducted quantitatively, involving 107 lecturers from public universities. The results, analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), provided data such as mean statistics, frequency, standard deviation, and ANOVA. The level of digital and automation competency among TVET lecturers was found to be high (mean = 3.80). Therefore, the digital and automation competency of TVET lecturers at public universities represents a transformation in the education sector, particularly in the TVET field, contributing to the country's development towards IR 4.0.
