The transformation of education in the digital era demands inclusive, creative, and relevant learning innovations in line with technological developments. To address these challenges, utilizing digital platforms is a strategic step in driving the digitalization of education. One innovative solution that is becoming widely used is no-code platforms like Thunkable, which enable users, including students, to create applications without having to master complex programming. This article reviews the results of a community service activity conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Sorong City, focusing on improving digital literacy and strengthening 21st-century skills through training in creating educational applications based on Thunkable. This activity utilized experiential learning and project-based learning approaches, implemented through hands-on training, interactive demonstrations, independent practice, and participatory evaluation. This training not only targeted students as the primary participants but also involved teachers as facilitators who accompanied the learning process and encouraged the application of training outcomes in classroom activities. Evaluation results showed a significant increase in student enthusiasm, critical thinking skills, and creativity in designing simple educational applications tailored to learning needs and local contexts. Despite obstacles such as limited digital devices and uneven internet access, this activity still succeeded in creating an innovative and transformative learning space. Furthermore, this training makes a significant contribution to supporting the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile, particularly in the areas of digital literacy, independence, mutual cooperation, and creativity. It also serves as an effective means to instill the value of digital responsibility and foster a learning culture that is adaptive to technological change. The success of this program demonstrates that a simple yet applicable technology-based approach like Thunkable can be replicated in other schools, particularly in the 3T (disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost) regions, with the support of structured and collaborative training.

This research aims to comprehensively explore the strategic role of educators in improving the quality of learning at the elementary school level. In the context of basic education, teachers play a central role as agents of change and the main drivers in the learning process. The main focus of this research includes three important aspects, namely the professionalism of teachers in carrying out their duties, the challenges faced in the implementation of teaching and learning activities, and optimization strategies carried out to improve the quality of learning. The research was conducted at SDN 2 Kerso, Jepara Regency, using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews with educators and principals, direct observations in the classroom, and documentation of learning implementation plans and other supporting activities. The results of the study showed that the teachers in the school applied the practice of professionalism through work discipline, mastery of materials, pedagogical skills, and a humanist approach to students. In addition, they also use learning strategies that are adaptive, creative, and based on student needs. However, in practice, teachers face various challenges, including the diversity of student characters, low learning motivation, the influence of the family environment, limited learning facilities, and the lack of periodic training. To answer these challenges, teachers make various optimization efforts, such as participating in professional training, establishing collaboration between teachers, implementing reflective supervision, and building active communication with parents and the community. Support from school principals, committees, and social environments is also an important factor in supporting learning effectiveness. This study concludes that the improvement of the quality of learning in elementary schools is largely determined by the capacity, commitment, and ability of teachers to manage challenges creatively and professionally. With systemic support and sustainability of competency development, the role of teachers can be significantly optimized to create meaningful, effective, and sustainable learning.

Thus, the use of ethnoscience as a contextual source not only enriches teaching materials,but also becomes a strategic means of instilling democratic values that are in accordance with the local context of students.

Pancasila learning at the elementary school level has a strategic role in forming the ethical and moral foundations of the younger generation from an early age. This article aims to analyze the influence of Pancasila learning on the formation of ethical and moral character of elementary school students with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained through classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and documentation studies in several elementary schools in urban and rural areas. The results of the study indicate that Pancasila learning that is implemented consistently and contextually can foster an attitude of tolerance, responsibility, mutual cooperation, and a sense of love for the homeland in students. Pancasila values ​​conveyed through a thematic approach and based on real experiences have proven to be more effective in forming positive student behavior in the school environment and at home. However, challenges remain, such as the lack of teacher understanding of effective learning methods and low support from the environment outside of school. Therefore, there needs to be continuous teacher training and synergy between schools, families, and communities so that Pancasila learning can function optimally in forming children's character. In conclusion, Pancasila learning has a significant influence on the formation of ethics and morals of elementary school students, but the success of its implementation is highly dependent on the method, consistency, and support from various parties. This article is expected to be a reference for educators and policy makers in designing a more adaptive and applicable value curriculum.

Cooperative learning has been known as an effective learning method in increasing student learning motivation. This research aims to present a literature review of cooperative learning strategies and their impact on student learning motivation. Cooperative learning methods involve interaction between students to achieve joint learning goals, thereby encouraging them to actively participate in the learning process. Literature studies show that cooperative learning strategies, such as team learning, pair learning, and group discussions, can increase student learning motivation through increasing a sense of responsibility, mutual trust, and cooperation between students. In addition, cooperative learning can also increase student involvement in the learning process, strengthen social relationships between students, and help students develop important social skills. The results of this literature review indicate that the implementation of cooperative learning strategies can make a positive contribution to student learning motivation. Therefore, it is recommended that educators consider using cooperative learning strategies in designing learning that can effectively increase student learning motivation.

Collaborative learning strategies are approaches that emphasize pressure, cooperation and active involvement between students in a learning community. In Islamic Religious Education learning, implementing this strategy allows students to support each other, share knowledge, and solve problems together, in accordance with the values ​​of mutual assistance contained in Islamic teachings. On the other hand, competitive learning methods place more emphasis on individual efforts to achieve goals, which may not maximize social interaction and collaboration between students. Therefore, the use of collaborative strategies in PAI learning is thought to be more effective in increasing understanding of the material and building students’ cooperation skills and tolerance for other people’s opinions.
