Abstract

Corruption remains a complex socio-political issue that undermines national governance and societal integrity. Anti-corruption education in higher education is expected to cultivate students' critical awareness and integrity in addressing such issues. However, the effectiveness of this education is often constrained by limitations in pedagogical approaches and delivery methods. This study aims to analyze the role of technology in enhancing students' critical awareness of social and political issues within the context of anti-corruption education. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the use of digital platforms and social media significantly facilitates discourse, information dissemination, and the development of critical thinking among students. Nevertheless, barriers such as limited access to technology and low digital literacy remain persistent challenges. The implications of this study highlight that integrating technology into anti-corruption education not only improves instructional effectiveness but also promotes students’ active engagement in public issues. Therefore, higher education institutions and policymakers must design inclusive, technology-based learning strategies that address disparities in access and digital competence.
