Transformation of Elementary School Learning in the Digital Age: Digital Literacy, 4Cs, and Modern Pedagogy
Abstract
This community service program has successfully improved the competence of 25 elementary school teachers in the PD Persis Karawang area in facing the challenges of learning in the digital age. The program focuses on strengthening digital literacy, 21st-century skills (4Cs), and the application of modern student-centered pedagogy. Through intensive training, ongoing mentoring, and the provision of digital learning resources, the program showed significant improvements. The average digital literacy score of teachers increased from 3.24 to 3.93 (a 21.3% increase) based on a comparison of pre-test and post-test results. Classroom observations showed an increase in the integration of 4C skills and the adoption of student-centered pedagogy. A total of 90% of teachers have utilized WhatsApp for learning communication, and 30% of teachers can create interactive digital media using Canva and PowerPoint. This program has successfully changed teaching practices, with teachers shifting from a lecturing role to a facilitator role, and has had a positive impact on student learning experiences. This activity also produced training modules and scientific articles as a form of dissemination of the results of the community service program.
