Technology-Based Learning Strategies to Improve the Quality of Human Resources in National Development

Abstract

Technology-based learning has become one of the main solutions in improving the quality of education in the digital era. In Indonesia, the application of technology in education faces major challenges, especially in rural areas, such as limited infrastructure and lecturer training. The purpose of this study is to analyze how technology-based learning strategies can improve the quality of human resources (HR) in the context of national development, with a focus on education in rural areas. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design, which involves interviews, observations, and questionnaires to lecturers, students, and managers of educational institutions. The results show that although technology expands access to learning materials, the main challenges faced are the lack of lecturer training and the limitations of internet devices and infrastructure, especially in rural areas. Technology-based learning can improve the quality of human resources by providing flexibility in learning, but its impact on the development of students' digital skills is highly dependent on the existing infrastructure. This research suggests the need for increased training for teachers and the development of technological infrastructure as part of sustainable village development efforts.
