Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of an advocacy and mentoring program designed to enhance digital literacy among educators and educational personnel in Bandung, Indonesia. The research focuses on the program's impact on participants' ability to utilize the Merdeka Mengajar Platform (PMM) for improving literacy, numeracy, and character education. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the study analyzed data from 20 participants across Bandung City and Bandung Regency, including education officials, school supervisors, principals, and teachers from various educational levels. Data collection methods included observations, document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and open-ended surveys. The results indicate high levels of participant satisfaction and significant improvements in digital literacy skills and PMM utilization. The findings revealed enhanced confidence in using digital resources and the emergence of localized strategies for digital literacy enhancement. However, the study also identified challenges related to infrastructure limitations, the need for ongoing support, and concerns about long-term sustainability and scalability. The research highlights the potential of targeted advocacy and mentoring programs in improving educators' digital competencies while emphasizing the importance of context-sensitive approaches and integration with broader educational reforms. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to enhance digital literacy in developing educational contexts, suggesting the need for holistic, systemic approaches that address both skill development and infrastructural needs.
