This study used a qualitative approach with interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) as instruments to gather data. The findings showed that preschool teachers’ digital literacy improved, particularly in their ability to create digital content for learning. The strategy to enhance preschool teachers’ digital literacy was conducted through a sustainable professional development scheme that placed the teacher community at its center, serving as a medium for teachers to develop their professional abilities. The program focused on three main schemes to improve teachers’ digital literacy skills: (1) self-development through Wakelet training to assist teachers in managing digital content in collaboration with other teachers, (2) conducting research-based learning to improve the quality of learning, and (3) fostering teacher innovation in developing teaching media that integrates technology into learning practices. The results of this study provide a significant contribution to exploring the schemes for preschool teachers’ professional development in improving digital literacy skills. Future research could capture more creative solutions to technical challenges in sustaining teachers’ professional development programs.

The role of families in creating moral and ethical ideals that will serve as guiding principles for individuals in their daily lives is of the greatest significance. The absence of moral education contributes to the increasing rate of infidelity within current society.

This research uses an extensive literature review to collect data from various sources. Researchers analyzed research, books, and articles on moral education in the family and infidelity and looked for relevant findings. The results show that self-preservation morals play a crucial role in preventing infidelity. A case of infidelity behavior is frequently associated with a consistent pattern of moral values instilled by parents, whereby those who have been raised in an environment characterized by honesty, responsibility and love, tend to exhibit similar actions after getting married. A responsible person undertakes parental duties by demonstrating affection for his spouse, like he loves his mother or sister, thereby preventing infidelity.
