The Learning Drives Transformation: Transformation Fosters Learning

Abstract

          Currently, universities are facing challenges in adapting to technological, social, and economic changes. This article analyzes these challenges using the SWOT analysis framework to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of universities in the digital era. The analysis reveals that universities possess strengths such as access to borderless knowledge, the ability to produce graduates with skills aligned with the modern job market, and strong academic collaborations. However, weaknesses include limitations in infrastructure, the adaptability of personnel to technology, and slow administrative processes.
        At the same time, universities have opportunities to leverage digital technology and build collaborative networks to enhance their potential. Nonetheless, they face threats from high competition and uncertain changes. Key strategies proposed to address these issues include developing and improving flexible curricula, utilizing technology in teaching and learning, fostering partnerships and collaborative networks, developing personnel, managing resources and infrastructure efficiently, and reorganizing and restructuring the organization.
         These strategies will enable universities to adapt appropriately and play a critical role in generating knowledge, driving transformation, and sustainably advancing society in the digital era.
