Strengthening Digital Literacy-Based Character Building in Arabic Teaching and Learning

Abstract

Strengthening character building is an educational movement to strengthen the students' character in schools. This study aimed to explore the stages of strengthening digital literacy-based character building carried out by teachers in Arabic teaching and learning processes in an elementary school. A case study design was applied in this study, and data were collected using interviews, observation, and documentation, then validated using triangulation. The findings showed the urgency of strengthening digital literacy-based character building in Arabic teaching and learning processes. Three stages of strengthening digital literacy-based character building carried out by Arabic teachers included teaching and learning planning including teacher's vision and mission, curriculum, syllabus, lesson plans, and textbooks used; the implementation of teaching and learning processes consisting of opening activities, core activities, and closing activities; and learning evaluation including formative and summative assessments. The findings are expected to be an alternative effort and solution for teachers to strengthen students' character in teaching and learning processes at school.
