Using a qualitative method with a library research approach, this research analyzes various theories, models, and previous studies related to the integration of technology in education management. The findings indicate that DEMS play a crucial role in enhancing educational quality by streamlining administrative tasks, facilitating personalized learning, and supporting data-driven decision-making. Additionally, digital leadership is found to be essential in ensuring the effective implementation of DEMS, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement within educational institutions. However, challenges such as digital infrastructure limitations, resistance to technology adoption, and the digital divide remain barriers that must be addressed for optimal implementation. This study suggests the need for equitable access to technology and the professional development of educators and leaders to improve their digital literacy. Overall, while DEMS hold great potential to enhance technology-based learning, their successful implementation heavily depends on overcoming the existing barriers. Future research is recommended to further investigate strategies to bridge the digital divide and evaluate the long-term impact of DEMS on student learning outcomes.</em></p> Azizah Nurul Husnaini, Lucio Marcal Gomes, Mashudi Rofik, Jakoep Ezra Harianto, Moch.

This study aims to critically examine gender bias in the visualization of social roles and the concept of Gotong Royong (mutual cooperation) as presented in elementary school textbooks. Employing a critical content analysis approach, the research analyzes visual representations found in Pancasila Education and Social Sciences textbooks used at the elementary level. The findings reveal a significant gender paradox embedded within textbook illustrations. Although Gotong Royong is promoted as a collective and inclusive cultural value, its visual portrayal tends to emphasize masculine leadership and dominance in public roles. Male figures are repeatedly depicted occupying strategic and authoritative positions such as flag bearers, police officers, doctors, and community leaders. In contrast, female figures are predominantly represented in domestic, supportive, or subordinate roles. This visual segregation contributes to the formation of a hidden curriculum that subtly reinforces gender inequality, restricts female students’ aspirations in the public sphere, and normalizes the stigma of women’s “double burden.” Therefore, this study underscores the urgency of reconstructing visual representations in independent curriculum textbooks to promote gender equality and foster inclusive educational values</em></p> Kemil Wachidah, Vanda Rezania Copyright (c) 2026 Kemil Wachidah, Vanda Rezania https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ojs.cahayamandalika.com/index.php/jomla/article/view/6201 Mon, 02 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000
