Abstract

Digital transformation in education requires schools to adapt systematically to technological developments while ensuring character formation and competency enhancement. This study aims to analyze the implementation of a Special Digital Program in strengthening students’ character and competencies at Muhammadiyah 5 Randublatung Junior High School. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews with the principal and teachers, and documentation analysis. Data analysis involved data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with source triangulation to ensure validity. The findings reveal that the program was implemented through the integration of character values into technology-based learning and the reinforcement of digital literacy. The initiative fostered responsibility, discipline, and digital ethics, while improving 21st-century competencies such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. The success of the program was supported by visionary leadership, teacher readiness, and an adaptive school culture. In conclusion, digital transformation should be positioned as an integrative strategy connecting pedagogical, cultural, and managerial dimensions to sustain educational quality.

Abstract

Continuous professional development is essential to improve teachers’ competence and respond to educational transformation. This study aims to analyze the implementation of coaching as a strategy for developing a learning community (komunitas belajar) to enhance teachers’ pedagogical competence at SD Negeri Candirejo 02 Ungaran Barat. A qualitative case study approach was employed using interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and learning community coordinators. Data were analyzed through interactive thematic analysis. The findings show that coaching strengthened teacher professional development through collaborative discussions, reflective practice, peer feedback, and classroom observation. Teachers’ pedagogical competence improved in differentiated lesson planning, student-centered learning, instructional material development, formative assessment, classroom management, and reflective teaching. The principal played a key role in sustaining coaching activities, although implementation was constrained by limited time, administrative workload, and differences in teacher readiness. The novelty of this study is a coaching based learning community model integrating instructional leadership, collaborative professional learning, and reflective coaching as a sustainable educational management strategy. This study concludes that coaching-based learning communities effectively strengthen teachers’ pedagogical competence and foster sustainable professional learning in elementary schools.
