Keywords:
Digital Teaching Materials, Elementary School Teachers, Digital Literacy, Educational TransformationAbstract
The digital transformation in education has driven significant changes in the use of teaching materials at the elementary school level. This study aims to analyze the problems and formulate solutions for the use of digital teaching materials in elementary schools, particularly in the context of limited infrastructure, teacher competency, and adaptation of learning strategies. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation in five elementary schools that have implemented digital teaching materials. The findings suggest that the primary challenges in the implementation of digital teaching materials are a digital competency gap among teachers, limited internet access and devices, and a lack of ongoing training. However, various adaptive strategies were identified by teachers, such as the use of free platforms, peer collaboration, and the implementation of hybrid learning models. These results underscore the significance of a comprehensive strategy for facilitating digital transformation in elementary schools, which includes the enhancement of teacher competency, the provision of sufficient infrastructure, and the promotion of policies that foster innovation. This research offers practical contributions to the development of education policies and teacher training programs that are more adept at accommodating the demands and requirements of 21st-century learning.
