Abstract
Digital transformation in education has become a strategic priority in Indonesia, particularly through the implementation of belajar.id accounts as part of the school digitalization program launched by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. This initiative offers teachers access to Google Workspace for Education as a tool to support digital-based learning and strengthen pedagogical innovation. However, despite its availability, its utilization rate among teachers varies. This study aims to analyze the extent to which teachers at State Junior High School 1 Caringin utilize belajar.id accounts in the learning process, identify factors that support and hinder their utilization, and analyze their impact on teaching practice. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through online questionnaires, interviews, and observations of teachers involved in digital learning activities. The results indicate that although most teachers have activated and used their belajar.id accounts, their use is still limited to basic features, such as Google Classroom, Google Meet, and Google Drive. Advanced features such as Google Forms, Jamboard, and Google Calendar are used less frequently due to limited digital skills and technical constraints, including internet stability and device access. This study concludes that enhancing digital competency through structured training and school policy support is crucial for optimizing the use of belajar.id as part of a sustainable digital learning ecosystem. Therefore, policies supporting the provision of adequate infrastructure and ongoing training programs for teachers are needed to improve the effectiveness of digital learning implementation.
