Abstract

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has changed the educational landscape, encouraging the transformation of the role of teachers into learning facilitators in the digital era. This research aims to explore this transformation phenomenon by exploring shifts in learning paradigms, identifying challenges faced by teachers, evaluating strategies for solving them, and analyzing their impact on student learning. The research method used is a qualitative approach, by collecting data, including in-depth interviews with teachers who actively use technology in learning and direct observation in classes that apply a technology-based approach. The research results show that the transformation of the teacher's role involves a shift in focus from a teacher-centered learning model to a more student-oriented approach, where the teacher acts as a learning facilitator who encourages active student involvement and collaboration. Challenges such as lack of digital skills and gaps in technology access among students are major barriers to adopting these new roles. However, resolution strategies such as training and professional development, collaboration with colleagues, and differentiation of learning have proven effective in overcoming these challenges. The impacts of this transformation include increased student engagement, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration in digital learning. In conclusion, the transformation of teachers as learning facilitators in the digital era is a complex process that requires in-depth understanding, appropriate strategies, and ongoing support to achieve optimal learning outcomes in an ever-evolving context.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate how active learning strategies can enhance student engagement and facilitate the internalization of Islamic values. This study used a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving IRE teachers. The study findings revealed that active learning significantly increased student participation and moral reflection, offering a more dynamic and practical approach to character education. Teachers reported that activities such as role-playing, group discussions, and problem-solving not only made religious teachings more relevant but also encouraged students to apply Islamic principles in real-life situations. However, the study also identified challenges, including lack of training and resources, and the need to contextualize active learning within an Islamic framework. This study contributes to the broader discourse on educational strategies that nurture intellectual and moral development, offering insights and recommendations for improving character education in Islamic educational settings. Future research should focus on the long-term impact of these strategies and the development of specific training programs for IRE teachers.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered educational practices, leading to the widespread adoption of blended learning, which integrates face-to-face and online instruction. As schools transition into the post-pandemic era, blended learning has evolved from a crisis-response tool into a lasting pedagogical approach. This study aimed to investigate the challenges and innovations in implementing blended learning within post-pandemic classrooms in Indonesia. Using a qualitative research method, the study was conducted from January to March 2025 in three secondary schools and two higher education institutions representing diverse socio-economic and technological backgrounds. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and classroom observations involving 25 participants, including teachers, students, and administrators. The findings revealed significant challenges, such as unequal access to technology, difficulties in maintaining student engagement, and the need for pedagogical adaptation and professional development. However, the study also highlighted innovative practices, including the use of collaborative platforms, multimedia resources, and student-centered learning models that enhanced engagement and independent learning. Teachers reported a transformation in their roles, shifting from content deliverers to learning facilitators. Despite progress, both students and educators expressed the need for stronger support systems to navigate hybrid learning effectively. The study concludes that while blended learning offers flexibility and digital engagement opportunities, its sustainability depends on addressing technological, pedagogical, and human-centered challenges.

Abstract

This study explores the evolving role of teachers as digital facilitators, focusing on the shift from traditional content delivery to learning design in digitally mediated classrooms. With the rapid integration of technology in education, many teachers still struggle to adapt their practices, which raises the question of how they can effectively transition to roles that require instructional design thinking and technological fluency. The research employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis to investigate the experiences of 12 secondary school teachers in West Java, Indonesia. The findings reveal that teachers are increasingly adopting roles as learning designers, curating digital tools and resources to foster student-centered, collaborative, and inquiry-based learning. However, challenges such as rigid curriculum standards, lack of institutional support, and limited professional development hinder the full realization of this shift. The study concludes that becoming an effective digital facilitator requires not only technical skills but also pedagogical flexibility, reflection, and systemic support.

Abstract

The demands of the 21st century require students to possess academic knowledge and essential life skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and digital literacy. However, traditional teaching methods often fail to cultivate these competencies effectively. This study aims to explore how Project-Based Learning (PBL) can enhance 21st-century skills among senior high school students. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis over three months at a senior high school in Indonesia. Thematic analysis revealed that PBL significantly improved students' critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, communication skills, and digital literacy. Students engaged more deeply with the content and demonstrated greater autonomy, creativity, and collaboration in real-world project tasks. Despite some initial challenges, such as unfamiliarity with group-based learning and limited digital competence, students gradually developed confidence and independence. The study concludes that PBL is a powerful pedagogical model for preparing students to meet future academic and professional demands. Its contribution lies in promoting more meaningful, student-centered learning while offering insights into the conditions necessary for effective implementation in varied educational contexts.
