The influence of Creative & Critical Thinking and Collaboration on Digital & Technology Fluency

Abstract

This study aims to confirm the existence of an influence between three attributes of graduates, namely Creative & Critical Thinking, Collaboration, and Digital & Technology Fluency. The data used in this study were based on a survey of 100 students who participated in the three attribute development activities. Three hypotheses were tested to check the influence of the three variables according to the correlation. Hypotheses one is to test the influence of Critical & Creative Thinking to Digital Technology Fluency. Hypotheses two is to test the influence of Collaboration to Digital Technology Fluency, and hypotheses three is to test the influence of Critical & Creative Thinking, Collaboration, to Digital Technology Fluency. The finding of analysis of the implementation of skills by one of the Higher Education institutions in Indonesia in fulfilling student competencies for the industrial revolution 4.0 shows that there is a simultaneous or partial influence between Critical & Creative Thinking, Collaboration, and Digital & Technology Fluency for each independent variable on the dependent variable. Therefore, it is concluded that the three hypotheses that were determined earlier were accepted. These findings have significant implications to further develop and design instructional programs that seek to improve digital and technology skills among students, as well as for policymakers and educators who are interested in preparing students for the demands of the industries. In addition, because the multiples regression test shows that there may be other influencing variables, re-analysis of other possible variables is recommended for further study.
