Modeling Analysis of Lecturer Digital Competence at Maritime Colleges using Analytical Hierarchy Process and System Dynamics

Abstract

This Assessing lecturers’ digital competence is necessary to understand educational technology and learning processes from a sociocultural perspective, particularly within maritime tertiary institutions. This research proposed a model and analysis of digital competency among lecturers at maritime universities in Indonesia. This qualitative research was performed based on the competency theory and statistical measures including analytical hierarchy processes and system dynamics modeling. The research revealed six main variables and 32 sub-variables, with the "Digitality" variable having the highest value of 0.252. Within the global weight, the "Digital literacy" sub-variable was a priority, with a weight of 0.071. The analysis of Lecturer Digital Competence in Maritime Colleges in Indonesia scored 3.163 (63.26%) under the proficiency category (level 4). The analysis resulted in "Personality" variable obtaining the highest value at 3.254 (65.07%). The results of simulation showed “digital divide” as the factor with the strongest influence on the decline in lecturers’ digital competence with a value of 1.180. Lecturers’ Digital Competence in Indonesian Maritime Colleges can be improved by lowering the initial digital divide value
