The Merdeka Curriculum is here as a breath of fresh air in the world of Indonesian education, bringing a spirit of independence for teachers and students to learn and teach with creativity. One of the important instruments in realizing the vision of Independent Learning is the Learning Implementation Plan (RPP) which has undergone a significant transformation compared to the 2013 Curriculum RPP (K13). The Independent Curriculum RPP is made more concise and focuses on essential points, so that it is easy for teachers to understand and use. Learning objectives are formulated clearly, measurably and oriented towards Learning Achievements (CP), ensuring learning is centered on the outcomes to be achieved. Teachers are encouraged to understand students’ learning profiles, including their interests, talents, learning styles and learning needs. This allows learning to be designed in a personalized and meaningful way for each individual.

The first stimulation of creativity in early childhood is so that children can express themselves creatively. Second, they can think creatively as an ability to resolve conflicts or solve problems. Third, independent creative practices give someone pleasure to produce useful goods. Fourth, creativity to improve the standard of living and norms of life.

Rapid technological advances are affecting various fields, one of which is education. Education cannot be separated from the progress that occurs. As an innovator, teaching in schools should be carried out by following all existing changes. In fact, students' digital literacy abilities are known to be in the low category so that each individual's learning needs are not achieved optimally. The aim of this research is to analyze how utilizing rapidly developing information and communication technology can help students meet their learning needs. Digital literacy is a form of ability to obtain, understand and use information originating from various sources in digital form. Literacy itself in the educational context plays a role in developing a person's knowledge of certain subject matter as well as encouraging curiosity and developing their creativity. This is what requires students to have literacy or the ability to process and understand good information to study and understand. With the rapid development of technology, it allows students to access information more easily. Digital literacy is also very necessary to overcome the problem of the ever-increasing explosion of information in digital sources. Society is now faced with very rapid technological developments. People are also required to sort and select information that is appropriate to the actual situation. Exposure to various kinds of information from the media makes most people doubt whether information is true or not. So with this phenomenon, media literacy knowledge is really needed as the ability to process information. This research method uses interviews with PPKn teachers in the city of Medan. The interview was conducted to see the extent of efforts made by PPKn teachers in increasing students' digital literacy. The result is that good digital literacy skills can enrich oneself with knowledge by actualizing oneself in these technological advances. The role of teachers in this case certainly cannot be replaced, but teachers can guide the extent to which students can utilize technology on the positive side and the extent to which they can minimize the possibility of deviating from the use of this technology.

The proposal text is one of the text types taught in Indonesian language learning in elementary schools. However, the teaching of proposal texts is often carried out using conventional methods that do not actively involve students. This research aims to explore innovative strategies in utilizing proposal texts to improve Indonesian language learning outcomes for elementary school students. The research method used is classroom action research by applying a project-based learning strategy through group assignments to develop proposal texts. The research subjects were fifth-grade students at Public Elementary School X in City Y. Data were collected through observations, written tests, and interviews with teachers and students. The research results show that innovative strategies for using proposal texts can improve student learning outcomes, including writing skills, understanding of text structure, and vocabulary and language elements. Students become more motivated and actively involved in the learning process. They also develop critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration skills in developing proposal texts. This strategy has proven effective and can be implemented in Indonesian language learning in other elementary schools to improve student learning outcomes and language skills.

The current curriculum paradigm needs adaptation which takes time. Senior teachers who must adapt to the changing times in education era 4.0 require government attention to improve the quality of teachers through facilities and field support.
