"ELSIVO: A Technology-Enhanced Blended Learning Model for Law Enforcement Training in Juvenile Justice Systems"

Abstract

Children in conflict with the law require a different legal approach from adults, emphasizing protection and recovery. However, training for law enforcement officers still uses old methods and has not utilized technology to the fullest. This research develops and tests an innovative training model called ELSIVO, which combines blended learning, case studies, interactive video simulations, and chatbots as learning companions. The model was designed to help law enforcement officers understand and apply restorative justice principles more effectively. The implementation results show that participants find it more helpful to understand real situations through interactive and flexible media. In addition to gaining insight, this approach also builds participants' confidence in handling juvenile cases. By combining technology and practical learning approaches, ELSIVO becomes a more relevant, engaging and appropriate training alternative for the field.
