Strengthening School Digital Capacity Through the Implementation of ZYA CBT

Introduction

Strengthening school digital capacity through the implementation of zya cbt. Strengthen school digital capacity with ZYA CBT. This project enhanced IT admin, teacher, and student competencies in computer-based tests, proving an effective solution for digital assessment adoption.

Abstract

The digital transformation of education demands innovative solutions for assessment systems that are still dominated by paper-based tests. MTs. Miftahulfalah Bandung faces challenges such as limited capacity of IT administrators in managing online test applications, teachers’ unfamiliarity with digital question banks, and students’ lack of experience in computer-based examinations. This community service project aimed to strengthen digital capacity through the implementation of the ZYA Computer Based Test (CBT) application. Using the ADDIE instructional design model, the program included needs analysis, training module design, system development, guided workshops, and comprehensive evaluation. Results demonstrated significant improvement in participants’ competencies, with post-test scores rising by 41.67% for IT administrators, 45.45% for teachers, and 56% for students. Participant satisfaction was also high, with an average Likert score of 4.5, indicating strong acceptance of the training. These findings confirm that the ADDIE-based training approach effectively supports the adoption of digital assessment systems in schools. The implications highlight that ZYA CBT can serve as a sustainable solution to enhance digital literacy, efficiency, and readiness for national computer-based assessments.

Review

This community service project addresses a highly pertinent and critical need within contemporary education: the digital transformation of assessment systems. The abstract clearly articulates the challenges faced by MTs. Miftahulfalah Bandung, including IT administrator capacity, teacher familiarity with digital question banks, and student experience with CBT. The initiative to implement the ZYA Computer Based Test (CBT) application as a solution is well-aligned with current educational demands for enhancing digital literacy and preparedness for national computer-based assessments. The project's focus on practical implementation and direct impact on a specific school context makes a valuable contribution to understanding effective strategies for digital capacity building. The methodology employed, based on the ADDIE instructional design model, provides a structured and systematic approach to addressing the identified issues. The project's progression from needs analysis to system development, guided workshops, and comprehensive evaluation demonstrates a robust design for intervention. The reported results are compelling, showcasing significant improvements in competencies across all participant groups—IT administrators, teachers, and students—with substantial percentage increases in post-test scores. Furthermore, the high participant satisfaction, indicated by an average Likert score of 4.5, strongly supports the effectiveness and acceptance of the training program. These quantitative measures effectively underscore the immediate success and positive reception of the ZYA CBT implementation. While the abstract highlights impressive immediate gains, further detail in a full paper would benefit from discussing the long-term sustainability and scalability of the ZYA CBT solution beyond the initial project phase. Exploring specific strategies for ongoing professional development for teachers and IT administrators, and how the school plans to maintain the digital infrastructure and question banks independently, would strengthen the implications of the findings. Additionally, a discussion of the potential challenges encountered during implementation, even if successfully overcome, would provide a more nuanced understanding for other institutions considering similar digital transformations. Nevertheless, this project presents a strong case for the efficacy of structured training programs in strengthening school digital capacity.
