The purpose of this paper is to complete the shortcomings of previous studies related to the challenges of implementing learning in the current era of disruption. In an effort to find alternative solutions that are more effective, this study seeks to analyze and examine how educators transform themselves to face various challenges in education in accordance with the spirit of the times. The existence of educational disruption has not been followed by an emphasis on the importance of digital-based transformative education and strengthening the competence of educators as an increasingly ideal basis for transformation. This paper is based on the argument that no matter how strong the influence of the pace of development of digital information technology, which tends to be disruptive, the spillover of which has shaken the education sector, creative and dynamic efforts will increasingly find momentum during the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, educators continue to play a vital role in the educational process that cannot simply be replaced by technological sophistication. Within the limits of this understanding, basically all achievements of scientific and technological progress are rooted in the educational process by placing the basis of digital transformation as a starting point for change to a better, civilized and quality direction.

Learning motivation is one of the important things that can affect the student's learning process. This study aims to explore the phenomenon of learning motivation of elementary school students. This research is quantitative research using survey exploratory research. Subjects involved in this study amounted to 51 elementary school students. Data collection uses a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The questionnaire was compiled based on four components of learning motivation, namely the drive for achievement, discipline in learning, readiness to overcome difficulties, and curiosity. The questionnaire uses a Likert scale with the categories "always", "often", "sometimes", and "never". The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that in general, the students had high motivation. However, this high motivation is not in line with concrete actions that show their enthusiasm for learning. This is because the motivation that develops is extrinsic. Students learn to get rewarded or to avoid punishment from teachers. Nevertheless, the students are aware of their obligations as students and believe in their abilities. This can be used as initial capital to encourage students to improve their learning achievement.
