Case Study: Improving the Character of Students in the Technology and Digital Era at Mulyorejo Primary School
Keywords:
Technology and Digital, Elementary Schools, Playing DuhaAbstract
The digital era brings new challenges and opportunities to the education sector, including the development of students' character. Rapid technological advancements influence children's thinking patterns, behavior, and social interactions from an early age. With easy access to information and global connectivity, character education becomes a crucial aspect of shaping a generation with integrity, discipline, and responsibility. Elementary schools play a strategic role in instilling character values early on, as students at this stage are in a developmental phase heavily influenced by their surroundings.This study employs qualitative research methods to explore how SDN Mulyorejo 1 implements strategies to enhance student character in response to the challenges of the digital era. The primary objective is to examine the strategies, programs, and activities undertaken by the school to foster character development and to understand the role of teachers, parents, and the environment in supporting these efforts.The results reveal that character enhancement at SDN Mulyorejo 1 is driven by digital literacy initiatives and the habitual practice of Dhuha prayers, recitation of short surahs at school, and Javanese Language Fridays.
