Abstract
This paper examines the implementation of Digital Literacy and Ecopedagogy within the school club programs at SDI At-Taubah as a strategic approach to enhancing school quality. Based on an original qualitative case study, the findings confirm that school club programs are highly effective in developing students^ non-academic potential in the fields of STEM, arts, sports, and religion. These programs foster 21st-century skills-essential competencies required for success in the information age and global competition-including the 4Cs: critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. Furthermore, they promote additional literacies such as information, media, and technology literacy, along with adaptability, leadership, initiative, productivity, and social skills. Collectively, these outcomes contribute significantly to the cultivation of positive character traits and enhance parental trust in the school.
Moreover, the clubs successfully foster awareness of Sustainable Development (SD) through environmentally and socially responsible programs. This paper articulates these implicit achievements by proposing the explicit and systematic integration of Digital Literacy to regulate the use of technology and Ecopedagogy to strengthen ecological and social responsibility. Such an integrated application directly addresses contemporary educational challenges, including character instability, ineffective time management among students, and the misuse of technology. Ultimately, it ensures that the school clubs at SDI At-Taubah serve as a model for producing superior, highly competent, and globally responsible human resources, thereby enhancing the school^s reputation and aligning with the mandate of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
