The Danish education system is an example of an inclusive and individual development-oriented education model, with an emphasis on active and collaborative learning. Primary education in the country is compulsory and free of charge, allowing all children to have equal access to quality education. One of the main strengths of this system is the pedagogical approach that emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, and social skills, which prepares students to face the challenges of the modern world. However, behind these successes, there are some shortcomings, such as inequities in academic achievement among different socio-economic groups and criticism of the evaluation system as lacking transparency. Improvement efforts are ongoing to address these issues, including increased training for educators and the development of a curriculum that is more responsive to student needs. Thus, although the Danish education system has many strengths, challenges remain and require attention to ensure equality and fairness in education for all children.    

The digital era has brought significant changes in the world of education, especially in the implementation of technology-based policies to support the learning process. Technology-based education policies aim to improve the quality of learning through the integration of digital tools such as learning software, e-learning platforms and internet-based applications. In addition, student motivation is an important factor in the successful implementation of this technology. This research discusses the role of technology-based education policies in increasing learning effectiveness and how student motivation influences learning outcomes in the digital era. This study uses qualitative methods with a case study approach in educational institutions at various levels. The research results show that policies that support adequate technological infrastructure, training for teaching staff, and technology-based curriculum development can increase student engagement and achievement. On the other hand, students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is greatly influenced by digital environments that are interactive and support personal learning. Therefore, integration between technology-based education policies and efforts to increase student motivation is the key to educational success in the digital era.      

This study aims to analyze the effect of self-control and peers on student learning motivation in Financial Management courses in the Office Administration Education Study Program, State University of Jakarta. This research is motivated by the high dropout rate in Indonesia, which shows that learning motivation is an important factor in achieving academic success. The method used is quantitative with data analysis using the t test and F test to test the hypothesis. The results showed that self-control had no significant effect on learning motivation, with a t value of 1.455 and a significance of 0.170. In contrast, peer influence proved significant, with t count 2.640 and significance <0.001. The F test also showed that both variables simultaneously had a significant effect on learning motivation, with a calculated F value of 5.306 and significance below 0.05. The findings confirm the importance of social support from peers in increasing students' learning motivation, while self-control needs to be strengthened to support better academic achievement. This study provides recommendations for students to choose a positive social environment and for lecturers to create a learning atmosphere that supports interaction between students
