        Abstract

        This study was motivated by the low levels of teachers' digital literacy and learning motivation, as well as the suboptimal utilization of the Rumah Pendidikan platform, which may hinder the development of teacher professionalism amid digital transformation. This study aims to analyze the effects of digital literacy and learning motivation on teacher professionalism through the utilization of the Rumah Pendidikan platform among public elementary school teachers in Serang Regency. Using a quantitative approach and survey method, data were collected through valid and reliable questionnaires from 264 teachers selected using a probability sampling technique. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to examine the direct and indirect effects of digital literacy and learning motivation on teacher professionalism, with the Rumah Pendidikan platform serving as a mediating variable. The results indicate that digital literacy and learning motivation have positive and significant direct effects on teacher professionalism. Both variables also have positive and significant indirect effects on teacher professionalism through the Rumah Pendidikan platform, which significantly mediates these relationships. Furthermore, digital literacy and learning motivation significantly contribute to the utilization of the Rumah Pendidikan platform. The study concludes that improving teacher professionalism requires strengthening teachers' digital literacy and learning motivation, supported by optimal utilization of the Rumah Pendidikan platform.
