Kompetentsusi

Kompetentsusi is a neologism used in some Indonesian-language academic and professional discourse to denote the integration of technical competence with situational sensitivity in professional practice. The term is not widely standardized and does not refer to a single, formal framework, but rather a concept describing how individuals combine knowledge, skills, and attitudes with awareness of context, stakeholders, and ethical implications.

Core components commonly associated with kompetentsusi include technical knowledge and skills, professional judgment, communication and collaboration abilities, ethical and cultural sensitivity, and situational awareness—the capacity to adjust actions based on setting, stakeholders, and risk assessment.

Applications of kompetentsusi appear in education and workforce development as a framing for curricula, assessment, and professional development. Proponents argue that it supports adaptive expertise, enabling practitioners to navigate complex problems, ambiguity, and diverse client needs. Critics note the lack of a universal definition or standardized measurement, which can hinder comparison across studies or programs.

Relation to other concepts: kompetentsusi overlaps with broader notions such as competence, adaptability, and situational judgment; it is sometimes positioned as an integrative strand that links technical proficiency with social and ethical competencies.
