The Influence of Professionalism and Education on the Ability of TNI Intelligence Soldiers to Detect Misinformation on the Resolution of Papua Using Communication Media as Moderation

The purpose of this study was to examine how professionalism, education, and communication media affect ability as well as how communication media might act as a moderator of the effects of professionalism and education on ability. To address the development and validation of the research hypothesis, this study employs a quantitative design technique. Soldiers from the TNI Intelligence Unit's individual analytic unit participated in this explanatory study, which tests the nature of the link and influence between factors. The study's findings demonstrated that education has a positive and significant impact on ability, professionalism has a positive but not significant effect on ability, communication media has a positive and significant impact on ability, communication media does not moderate the impact of professionalism on ability, and communication media reduces the impact of education on TNI Intelligence Unit soldiers' ability. To determine the long-term effects of schooling on the growth of army skills, more studies can carry out longitudinal studies.
