Strategy for Strengthening Teacher Capacity at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in the Digital Era

Strengthening the capacity of teachers in madrasas in the current digital era cannot be postponed. The research aims to explore in depth the strategy formats used by madrasas to strengthen teacher capacity in the digital era. This field research uses descriptive qualitative methods, with interviews, documentation and observation as data collection techniques. Meanwhile, data analysis consists of three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The research was conducted at one of the MI Ma'arif in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta. The research results show that the strategy carried out is divided into two large parts, namely strategies based on internal activities and those based on activities outside the madrasah. Internal activity-based activities are carried out through internal workshops and periodic sharing sessions between teachers. As for activity-based strategies outside madrasas, this is carried out through sending delegates to training activities/seminars and assignments to take part in online training on platforms provided free of charge by the Ministry. These two big strategies can have an impact on increasing the capacity of teachers in the madrasah
