Abstract

This research discusses student character development in the midst of digital transformation, with a focus on the role of digital technology in shaping their character in the higher education environment. The research method used was a descriptive qualitative approach, involving literature study, questionnaires and interviews with Indonesian Literature students at the Faculty of Language and Arts at Medan State University. The research results show that the majority of students have a high level of understanding about student character development in the digital era, with a few having a low level of understanding. The impact of digital transformation on student character development, in the students’ view, is generally positive, although there are a small number who see the impact as negative. Universities are seen as providing good support in character development through digital technology, although there are also those who feel that this support is still lacking. The conclusion of this research is that digital transformation has a significant positive impact on student character development, and universities have an important role in integrating character education into digital learning environments. Apart from that, the role of parents is also important in shaping student character in the digital era. This study provides insight into how digital technology can be used to build good character among students and shows the need for further efforts to strengthen support from higher education institutions in this regard.
