Abstract

Education in the digital era requires a holistic and innovative approach to ensure that learning is not only effective but also relevant to the demands of the times. This study aims to identify the interaction effect between instructional leadership, organizational culture, and student learning independence on passion-based learning, teacher creativity, and student skills in the digital era. This research was approached with a quantitative approach, using the Structural Equation Modeling method. The respondents were principals and teachers of senior high schools totaling 270 respondents. The stages of analysis included exploratory factor analysis, normality and outlier tests, confirmatory factor analysis and hypothesis testing with the help of SPSS and AMOS software. The results showed that the three main elements mentioned significantly influenced passion-based learning, teacher creativity and student skills. This means that in order to improve students' skills in the digital era, it is important to encourage the integration of effective instructional leadership practices, the creation of a conducive organizational culture, and students' learning independence, in order to stimulate passion-based learning and teacher creativity, which can further improve students' skills.
