The national resilience in Indonesia is divided into several dimensions. The weakening of the national resilience index in the ideological and sociocultural dimensions makes the need for concrete steps to overcome them. In the socio-cultural dimension, the variables of tolerance and social harmony are partially in the "vulnerable" category, which means that even the slightest threat can jeopardize the integrity, identity, and the survival of the nation state. This study aims to analyze and formulate a model of character education in tertiary institutions to strengthen the national resilience in the ideological and socio-cultural aspects by emphasizing the development of curricular, co-curricular, and campus culture domains that systematically and integrally influence the student character formation. This research uses the mixed method with the case study approach. The results showed that the issue of national resilience in ideological and sociocultural features was more prevalent in the areas of perception, tolerance, and social responsibility in supporting development. The character education model in higher education is seen as an alternative strategy in strengthening national resilience because it focuses on ways of thinking, encourages action, and creates positive habits.
In such a massive "politicization" of social and cultural life, it appears that the role of Technological Higher Education Institution (Lembaga Pendidikan Tinggi Teknologi/LPTT) in national development is diminishing and less significant with the decline of the role of technology at the national level. The future challenge of LPTT is to increase the role of technology. This LPTT revitalization is highly possible due to the central role of technology in social and cultural life, so that LPTT is not focused only on technology but should also become the Cultural Development Center. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a case study in Technological Higher Education Institution (LPTT). This method was used considering the demand for technology to immediately link with the society and culture that ultimately leads to quality human civilization. It is time for LPTT to apply transdisciplinary thinking. As a result, the development of the Sociotechnology discipline is proposed. The discipline is implemented in a higher education process and a new nomenclature is proposed for the study program, which is called Technoculture. The discipline and study program work by constructing the Design Thinking Work Method based on the Modeling and Computation Method. Design Thinking that is applied to Humanity, Technology, and Social Science based on the Modeling and Computation Method is part of Digital Humanities. This new approach, including the Learning Method, develops the human resource output from this discipline, and the study program produces human resources with the frame of thought on Applied Science Branch -Sub
The main ingredients for a nation's development are high-quality human resources. Not only do they have excellent technical skills, but also excellent soft skills. The value of soft skills in the growth of the knowledge-based economy is being increasingly recognized in modern society. Communication skills, self-management, innovation, and/or creativity are important soft skills, among others, necessary to be able to respond to the workplace. Higher education is therefore committed to the challenges of giving the students all the necessary soft skills. This study uses a mixed technique and a case study to describe the approach to developing soft skills in higher education. The results are used to inform the development of the most crucial soft skills for ITB graduates. All of this is based on the fact that graduates must have a balance between soft skills and hard skills that will be useful for their lives when they enter society.
There has been a growing concern regarding a recent phenomenon in the Indonesian cyber world, i.e., cyber conflicts among the country's users of communication technology. Internet users in many parts of Indonesia have little or no idea of the social, cultural, and legal effects of using the product of Internet, such as online news and social media platforms, in expressing their opinions. Internet users' lack of awareness or ignorance of the harms they may cause other Internet users are mostly related to hoaxes, fake news, and hate speech. Despite the enactment of the ITE Law (Information and Electronic Transactions) No. 11 of 2008, established to prevent adverse impacts on communities, the lack of its socialization and of the Internet users' awareness of ethics in communicating in cyberspace still cause concerns among Internet users, government, stakeholders, and society. Based on the linguistic behavior of the Internet users, this research, which is the first stage of a three-year study, is aimed at finding out what conflicts generally occur in the Indonesian cyber world by looking at the features of the Internet users and at mapping the patterns of the conflicts to be used in a later stage of study in which we will propose a conflict resolution model appropriate for building and maintaining peace and unity in the Indonesian cyber world. The method that we use for data collection and experimental research is Kozinet' netnography, i.e., ethnography done through internet media; the results will be used for mapping the conflicts. The overall results of this study are expected to produce an application of a language-based conflict resolution model that can curb the social, cultural, and legal problems in the society as a reaction of the development of information and communication technology.
