<![CDATA[Background of study: Rapid digital developments demand a transformation in Physical Education (PE) curricula, especially at the primary level, where traditional approaches often fail to integrate digital literacy and character-based learning effectively. Aims and scope of paper: This study aims to develop and evaluate a PE curriculum prototype for elementary schools in the digital era by integrating technology, active learning, and the AKIDAH model (Analytical, Creative, Islamic, Demonstrative, Active, Humanistic). Methods: Using Design-Based Research (DBR), the study involved validation by 7 experts, implementation by 15 teachers, and field trials with 120 elementary students. Data were collected via expert validation sheets, observation rubrics, and student questionnaires, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests. Results: The curriculum demonstrated strong validity (71.43% expert agreement) and significantly improved student engagement (+34%, p < 0.001), motor skills (+27%, p < 0.012), and digital literacy (+31%, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The integration of digital tools and character-based models is effective in PE, aligning with constructivist learning theories and providing a validated prototype ready for digital-era elementary education.]]>
