This research is aimed to find out to what extent digital literacy and the application Ruang GTK impacts the readiness of elementary school teachers in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Tasik Putripuyu Kepulauan Meranti. The research is quantitative in nature and is ex post facto correlational. A sample of 72 teachers was included, and their selection was purposive. A Likert-type scale was administered to measure the variables. The analysis performed was Pearson correlation, multiple regression analysis, and SPSS v.31. The findings revealed that digital literacy (r = 0.869, p < 0.001) and Ruang GTK (r = 0.921, p < 0.001) both positively and significantly impacted the teacher readiness. These two factors, combined, accounted for 86.5% of the variance in readiness. The findings suggest that improving digital competencies and equipping teachers with relevant software applications such as Ruang GTK significantly enhance preparedness to teach in difficult remote and under-resourced regions where drastic changes to the curriculum, imposed by national policy, are difficult to execute.Referensi
