Abstract

This study aims to understand the need to develop storybooks as a medium to strengthen the gotong royong (cooperation) dimension within the Pancasila Student Profile framework. A qualitative approach was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of this phenomenon. The study was conducted in three public elementary schools in Sukadana District, Ciamis Regency, involving three purposively selected fourth-grade teachers based on their experience in teaching gotong royong values. Data collection techniques included classroom observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, which were used triangulatively to enhance data credibility. Data were analyzed using the interactive model by Miles and Huberman (1994), involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that storybooks play a crucial role as effective media in character education, particularly for internalizing the value of gotong royong, which is a core dimension of the Pancasila Student Profile. The literature review uncovered a scarcity of storybooks explicitly promoting gotong royong, while field data confirmed the limited integration of this value in formal instructional materials. Furthermore, teachers emphasized the importance of developing storybooks that are contextual and rooted in local wisdom, enabling students to understand better and internalize these values. This study identifies a significant opportunity for educational innovation through the development of culturally and socially relevant narrative-based learning media as a means to strengthen student character.

Abstract

This study explores the role of transformational leadership among principals in effectively implementing digital learning within elementary educational institutions in Indonesia. The urgency of digital transformation in education, especially after the pandemic, highlights the need for leadership to align vision, motivation, and infrastructure to support sustainable pedagogical innovation. The study examines how transformational leadership practices influence the development of digital learning ecosystems at the school level, particularly by fostering teacher empowerment, professional growth, and strategic resource mobilisation. This research systematically identifies, evaluates, and synthesises empirical studies and theoretical frameworks relevant to transformational leadership and digital learning using a literature review methodology. Data were collected through document analysis of peer-reviewed journal articles and academic publications. Following Braun and Clarke’s six-phase model, thematic analysis was employed to identify key patterns and concepts. The results reveal four major themes: (1) the importance of a shared and inspirational vision for digital transformation, (2) leadership strategies to motivate and support teacher-led innovation, (3) the promotion of intellectual stimulation and continuous professional development, and (4) the mobilisation of digital infrastructure and material resources. These findings suggest that transformational leadership fosters a culture of innovation, collaboration, and responsiveness, positioning schools to adapt effectively to technological and educational change. The study concludes that sustained principal commitment, strategic leadership, and supportive conditions are essential for embedding digital learning as a core element of school development.
