The digital transformation of the Indonesian judicial system through the implementation of e-court and e-litigation necessitates a redefinition of conventional evidentiary laws, which have historically been governed by the Herziene Inlandsch Reglement (HIR) and the Rechtreglement voor de Buitengewesten (RBg). This research aims to analyze the evidentiary strength of electronic documents as expanded means of proof in civil proceedings and to identify the challenges regarding their implementation. The research method employed is normative legal research using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The findings indicate that based on the principle of functional equivalence, electronic documents hold a legal status equivalent to paper-based documents, provided they meet the requirements of integrity, accessibility, and authenticity through certified electronic signatures as mandated by Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions. The evidentiary strength of an electronic document may reach the level of conclusive evidence, similar to an authentic deed, if supported by a reliable electronic system. However, implementation still faces technical hurdles concerning metadata verification and limited human resource competency within the judiciary. This research recommends the urgent need for a new codification of civil procedural law and the standardization of digital forensic procedures in trials to ensure legal certainty and justice for all parties in the digital era.

The research results show that the education curriculum, teaching quality, mentoring system, field practice, and mastery of weapon system technology have a positive and significant impact on the development of the competencies of the Indonesian Navy Technical Officers. The most dominant factor is the mastery of weapon system technology, followed by field practice and the education curriculum. This research resulted in the Integrated Naval Technical Officer Competency Development (INTOCD) Model, which integrates a competency-based curriculum, academic learning, technical training, field practice, technology mastery, as well as character and leadership development. The model is expected to serve as a reference in the development of the competencies of the Indonesian Navy Technical Officers to enhance personnel professionalism and support the operational readiness of naval defense equipment sustainably.

Digital literacy is an essential competency in the era of digital transformation because it involves not only technical skills but also the ability to critically understand information in cyberspace. A good level of digital literacy can encourage community participation in public decision-making and democratic processes, while inequality in access and digital literacy skills may hinder such participation. Therefore, this community service activity aims to improve digital literacy in order to overcome challenges and strengthen inclusive community participation. The activity targeted children and adolescents in Waihoka Village, Ambon City, with 31 participants involved in socialization and educational sessions. Evaluations were conducted before and after the presentation of the material, and the results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of digital literacy from early childhood to adolescence. Thus, communities with adequate digital literacy are expected to be more capable of accessing information, interacting appropriately in digital spaces, and actively participating in public decision-making processes and social activities in the digital era.

Digital transformation in public administration has become one of the strategic agendas in modern bureaucratic reform to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and quality of public services. This study aims to analyze the digital transformation of public administration through a comparative study between Indonesia and South Korea, particularly in the implementation of digital government. This study uses a qualitative method with a comparative study approach and is supported by library research through secondary data collection from scientific journals, international agency reports, government policy documents, and relevant previous research. The data analysis technique uses descriptive-comparative analysis with the theoretical approaches of Digital Era Governance (DEG), Institutional Theory, New Public Management (NPM), and Socio-Technical Systems Theory. The results of the study show that South Korea has succeeded in developing an integrated digital government because it is supported by consistent national policies, strong data interoperability, high bureaucratic capacity, adaptive organizational culture, and equitable distribution of digital infrastructure. In contrast, Indonesia is still in the transition stage from e-government to digital government and faces various obstacles such as fragmentation of inter-agency systems, low data interoperability, inequality in digital infrastructure, limited ASN competency, and bureaucratic resistance to change. Based on the Digital Era Governance theory, South Korea has successfully implemented the principles of reintegration, needs-based holism, and digitization of changes, while Indonesia remains suboptimal in terms of bureaucratic integration and services based on public needs. This study concludes that the success of digital transformation in public administration is determined more by institutional strength and bureaucratic reform than simply by technology adoption. Therefore, Indonesia needs to prioritize digital transformation as a comprehensive national reform agenda to create a modern, responsive, and service-oriented government.

This community service activity aims to improve the competency of Regional Apparatus Work Unit (SKPD) personnel in preparing monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual financial statements in accordance with Government Accounting Standards (SAP). This activity uses a participatory approach through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving 95 participants consisting of Financial Administration Officers and expenditure treasurers from various SKPDs in the Semarang City Government. The evaluation indicators included participant participation, improvement of understanding, identification of reporting problems, and formulation of follow-up actions. The finding, based on the results of the post-test, an average of 80% of participants showed improvement, particularly in account classification, transaction recording, and periodic report preparation.

Islamic education in this era of disruption faces a double challenge: the demand for complex professional competencies and the moral degradation of students. Law No. 14 of 2005 has established four pillars of teacher competency, but this framework is often interpreted administratively and has not touched on the deeper ethical-spiritual foundations. This study aims to revitalize the concept of teacher competency by synthesizing the values of adab mu'allim from the book At-Tibyan by Imam An-Nawawi into modern teacher competency standards. This study uses a qualitative method with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Data were collected through documentation of classical texts and indexed journal articles (2015-2025), then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results show a strong overlap between the values of At-Tibyan and the Teacher and Lecturer Law. Personal Competence is strengthened by sincerity and muraqabah; Social Competence is deepened by rifq (gentleness); and Professional Competence is perfected by the concepts of itqan (validation of the chain of transmission of knowledge) and hirshu (fighting spirit). This integration offers a “Complete Teacher” paradigm who is not only technically professional but also has spiritual authority in shaping students' character in the digital age.

Abstract: The digital era demands that every individual possess visual literacy competencies, but in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), access to technology is often limited to maintain focus on worship. The main problem at the Salafiyah Al-Furqon Islamic Boarding School in Sawangan, Magelang Regency, is the digital skills gap among 12th-grade students. This is caused by the boarding school's policy of only allowing mobile phone use during semester breaks, leaving students lacking practical multimedia skills prior to graduation. This community service activity aims to provide a solution through basic photography and videography training as a soft skill for alumni independence. The method used is a workshop that combines theoretical explanations and direct practice (experiential learning). The results of this activity show a significant increase in students' technical competency; participants are able to operate smartphone cameras with stable shooting techniques, understand the principles of visual composition (such as the rule of thirds and leading lines), and are able to perform basic video editing using mobile-based software applications. Through this training, Islamic boarding school graduates are expected to become individuals who are adaptive to technological developments and able to utilize visual media as a means of creative economics and digital da'wah after graduation.

Abstract This study aims to analyze the level of digital literacy among students of the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) study program at State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN) and its implications for the quality of their understanding of fiqh al-ibadah. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques comprising comprehensive literature study and analysis of student digital behavior trends, this research identifies two poles interacting dynamically: on one hand, the expansion of access to religious content through digital platforms has opened unprecedented opportunities for democratizing Islamic jurisprudence knowledge; on the other, the tendency toward instant content consumption potentially reduces depth of understanding of ijtihad methodology and classical fiqh epistemology. Findings indicate that PAI students generally possess adequate technical digital skills, yet remain weak in the critical literacy dimension namely the ability to evaluate the validity, authority, and religious context of digital sources. This phenomenon produces a literacy paradox: students who appear "digitally literate" operationally are paradoxically vulnerable to fragmented and superficial fiqh understanding. This study recommends integrating critical digital literacy education into the PAI curriculum at PTKIN  not as an elective add-on, but as a core competency embedded inseparably within the broader process of fiqh learning. Only through this approach can PAI students leverage digital platforms optimally as tools that strengthen, rather than replace, the structured and methodological tradition of Islamic scholarship

Digital marketing has become a vital tool for business growth today, especially for housewives running small businesses. However, challenges such as a lack of technical knowledge and limited access to digital devices often hinder them from competing in the modern marketplace. In response to this phenomenon, the Community Service (PKM) initiative in Tamallayang Village, Bontonompo, was specifically designed to strengthen the capacity of housewives through education on the use of marketing technology to advance their businesses. This program employs a participatory training model that emphasizes two-way discussions and real-life case studies, allowing participants to understand and directly apply material such as digital marketing fundamentals, WhatsApp optimization, and content creation techniques. The success of this program is reflected in the substantial increase in competency and growing optimism of the participants in managing their businesses in the digital realm. The mothers now not only master the theory but are also able to execute the strategies they have learned to expand product exposure and boost sales figures.

The implementation of Electronic-Based Government Systems (Sistem Pemerintahan Berbasis Elektronik/SPBE) represents a strategic instrument of public administration reform aimed at improving service quality, efficiency, and governance through digital transformation. However, empirical evidence across countries indicates that the effectiveness of digital government initiatives is frequently constrained by persistent competency gaps among public sector personnel. This study conducts a thematic literature review to systematically identify, classify, and synthesize scholarly findings on competency gaps affecting SPBE and digital government implementation within the field of public administration. Drawing on peer-reviewed international literature published over the last decade and indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, and DOAJ, the review applies a narrative–synthetic approach supported by thematic analysis. The findings reveal four dominant dimensions of competency gaps: technical–digital competencies, managerial and digital leadership competencies, cross-sectoral collaborative competencies, and adaptive learning competencies. These gaps are shaped by interacting individual, organizational, and systemic factors, including misaligned human resource management practices, fragmented bureaucratic structures, and limited capacity-building mechanisms. Using Competency-Based Human Resource Management (CBHRM) as the primary analytical lens, and reinforced by Digital Government Theory, Digital Era Governance, and Capacity Building Theory, this study demonstrates that competency gaps are structural rather than merely individual deficiencies. The article contributes theoretically by integrating human resource and digital governance perspectives into a unified analytical framework, and practically by offering policy-relevant insights for strengthening public sector capacity and enhancing the sustainability of SPBE implementation.
