Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based learning management at Darussalam Islamic Elementary School (SDIT) in Kalidoni District, Palembang City. A qualitative approach with descriptive methods was used to explore how ICT supports the teaching and learning process. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and educational staff. The results indicate that ICT-based learning management has been implemented effectively through systematic planning, the use of interactive digital applications, and online learning evaluation. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the application of ICT management strategies in the context of Islamic elementary education, a topic rarely explored. The practical implications of this study emphasize the importance of ongoing teacher training and improving school infrastructure to support digital learning practices. This research contributes to providing a school management model for optimizing the use of ICT to improve learning quality and administrative efficiency at the elementary school level.
