ANALYSIS THE ROLE OF LEARNING ANALYTICS AND DIGITAL LITERACY IN ENHANCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COMPETENCY BASED SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Abstract

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has profoundly transformed the educational paradigm through the integration of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and data-driven learning systems. This study examines the influence of Learning Analytics (LA) and digital literacy on the effectiveness of sustainable education oriented toward 21st-century competencies critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. A quantitative research design was employed involving 95 students from grades IV to VI at SDN Sudimoro 1 Magelang. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires measuring three variables: Learning Analytics (X₁), Digital Literacy (X₂), and Sustainable Education Effectiveness (Y). The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 28. The results revealed that both Learning Analytics and digital literacy have a positive and significant effect on the effectiveness of sustainable education (p < 0.05). Learning Analytics demonstrated a stronger influence (β = 0.476, t = 3.710, p = 0.000) compared to digital literacy (β = 0.342, t = 2.669, p = 0.010). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.588) indicates that 58.8% of the variance in sustainable education effectiveness is explained by these two predictors. These findings underscore that integrating data-driven learning through Learning Analytics and fostering students’ digital literacy can enhance adaptive, innovative, and continuous learning processes aligned with 21st-century skill development.
