Efforts of Lecturers to Enhance Student Learning Engagement in the Digital Era

Abstract

Lecturers play a vital role as educators in higher education institutions, tasked with preparing students for future life through the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. This paper aims to examine how the execution of lecturers’ roles can enhance students' learning activeness. The research method used is a literature study that reviews various sources related to the role of lecturers in the learning process. The findings show that lecturers who carry out their duties optimally—not only transferring knowledge but also guiding and mentoring students—are able to improve students’ motivation and active participation in learning. Therefore, it is essential for lecturers to continuously develop their competencies and create an interactive learning environment. Future researchers are advised to conduct field studies to observe firsthand how lecturers' roles are implemented in various higher education contexts.
