Abstract

This study explores elementary school teachers’ perceptions of using digital learning applications to enhance student engagement. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research involved 10 elementary teachers in SD GMIM 24 Manembo-nembo, who integrate digital tools into their teaching. Data was collected through interviews and classroom observations. The findings indicate that most teachers perceive digital applications as effective in increasing student motivation and participation. However, they also highlight challenges such as limited infrastructure and the need for adequate training. This study offers insights into improving digital learning implementation in elementary education.
