This study aims to analyze the forms, experiences, and meanings of learning innovations applied by teachers and educational units in facing the era of technological disruption. Using an exploratory qualitative approach and case study method, this study was conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Banyuwangi, involving teachers, students, and the principal as the main informants. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation analysis. The results of the study indicate that the forms of learning innovation include the use of artificial intelligence (AI), the Learning Management System (LMS) platform, interactive learning videos, and blended learning models. Teachers and students experience significant changes in their roles and learning methods. This innovation is interpreted as a process of adaptation to the demands of the times and is considered capable of increasing the efficiency and quality of learning, although there are still obstacles such as limited access to technology. This study strengthens the relevance of the Diffusion of Innovation, TPACK, and SAMR theories in the context of digital learning and provides implications for the development of contextual and sustainable digital transformation-based education policies.

This study explores the integral role of language and culture in shaping character within educational contexts. Language serves as both a medium of communication and a vehicle for cultural values and ethical principles, influencing how students perceive themselves and their interactions with others. By examining the interplay between language, culture, and character education, this study highlights the importance of a culturally responsive curriculum. Research indicates that integrating diverse linguistic and cultural perspectives in educational practices fosters empathy, respect, and social responsibility among students. Additionally, culturally relevant pedagogy encourages students to engage critically with their own values while appreciating the richness of others' backgrounds. Teacher training that emphasizes cultural competence is essential for creating inclusive learning environments, thereby enhancing character development. The findings suggest that educational systems must embrace linguistic and cultural diversity to effectively promote character education. By doing so, schools can cultivate well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also socially aware and ethically responsible. This article concludes by emphasizing the need for continuous research and practice in integrating language and culture into character formation, ensuring that education prepares students for the complexities of a globalized society.

This qualitative study examines the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) models in developing critical thinking and 21st-century skills among middle school students in multicultural classroom environments. Through an interpretive qualitative approach employing in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and focus group discussions, this research explores how PBL methodologies foster active learning and enhance students' analytical capabilities across diverse cultural backgrounds. The study involved 24 middle school teachers and 72 students from three multicultural schools in Indonesia, implementing a purposive sampling strategy. Data analysis utilized Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis framework to identify patterns and themes related to critical thinking development and cross-cultural learning experiences. Findings reveal that PBL significantly enhances students' critical thinking abilities, promotes collaborative problem-solving skills, and facilitates meaningful cross-cultural interactions. The research demonstrates that multicultural PBL environments create authentic learning opportunities where students develop both cognitive and social competencies essential for 21st-century success. However, implementation challenges include teacher preparation requirements, resource limitations, and the need for culturally responsive instructional materials. The study concludes that well-structured PBL approaches in multicultural settings effectively prepare middle school students for complex problem-solving while fostering intercultural understanding and communication skills. These findings contribute to educational scholarship by providing evidence-based insights into the integration of active learning methodologies with multicultural education frameworks
