It is hoped that this program will help increase interest in digital literacy and numeracy learning for students. This research aims to provide an understanding of the importance of enhancing digital literacy and numeracy, especially in the development of engaging, innovative, efficient, and effective learning media suitable for children's early development, to educators and parents"


INTRODUCTION
"The Ministry of Education and Culture continues to make efforts to improve the quality of education, one of which is by promoting a culture of literacy through the National Literacy Movement model (Fajri, 2023;Fajri et al., 2021).The National Literacy Movement is an initiative aimed at fostering students who are literate and possess noble character through various activities, such as reading books for 15 minutes in schools (Ambarwati & Kurniasih, 2021;D et al., 2022;Patriana et al., 2021;Siskawati et al., 2020;Wahyuni, 2022).Among various types of literacy, one fundamental literacy that can be implemented in basic education is numeracy literacy (Budiharto et al., n.d.;Ekowati et al., 2019;Faridah et al., 2022;Pusapningtyas, 2020;Sidiq et al., 2023)."

LITERATURE REVIEW
"Literacy numeracy can be defined as the ability of students or individuals to analyze things in everyday life and express them orally or in writing using various Arabic numerals and Hijaiyyah letters (Salvia et al., 2022).
Education is a process of shaping human personality that allows the potential and resources of each individual to grow and develop (Latifah, 2020).In the era of globalization, education is crucial and prioritized because there are global challenges that learners must face.Through education, learners are expected to prepare themselves well to meet the challenges of globalization.Education in the era of globalization cultivates analytical and problem-solving skills.The applied learning techniques can encourage new discoveries and imaginative thinking.In 21st-century education, learners are required to have four skills: critical thinking skills in problem-solving, skills in building relationships and expanding connections through communication, skills in creating new things (Annisa Alfath et al., 2022;in Yakin, 2019;Fajri, 2023;Jariah, 2019;Junaedi, 2019;Kuncahyono & Aini, 2020;Rifa'i, 2018;Suhairi & Santi, 2021;Tafonao, 2018;Tahel & Ginting, 2018;Zaman, 2020).These skills, and collaboration skills, can be achieved by understanding and applying literacy in learning.
In the current era of globalization, students are less interested in literacy due to technological developments in the field of information, such as gadgets and television (Anashrulloh & Tranggono, 2022;Ate & Lede, 2022;Herawan, 2021;Perdana & Suswandari, 2021;Rahmwati, 2021;Siregar et al., 2023).When students use gadgets, the lack of supervision and guidance from their parents results in the majority of students becoming addicted to playing with gadgets (Bali et al., 2023;Jannah & Oktaviani, 2022;Khakima et al., 2021;Mahmud & Pratiwi, 2019;Mulyati & Watini, 2022;Nudiati, 2020;Ratnasari, 2020;Sulistyanto et al., 2023).To reduce the use of gadgets by students, the government has created the School Literacy Movement (Wulandari, 2017).As the times evolve, digital learning media is becoming more prevalent.In the past, learning media was used in a simple manner, for example, teachers explaining using books or other concrete objects.Whereas in the current era, the advancement of digital technology is widely utilized as a learning medium."From the explanation above, it is clear that this research is motivated by several reasons, namely that teachers have not used innovative digital-based media.Apart from that, in implementing numeracy literacy, teachers only invite students to memorize types of numbers in Arabic and hijaiyah letters.Seeing these problems, innovative digital-based media is needed to advance students' digital numeracy literacy.Looking at these problems, innovative digital-based media is needed to advance students' digital numeracy literacy (Ate & Lede, 2022).Thus, researchers collaborated with class II teachers at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Ihyaul Islam to increase students' digital numeracy literacy using learning video media.Learning videos include Android-based applications so they can be used anytime and anywhere.
Researchers are interested in utilizing learning videos with digital numeracy literacy skills because researchers want to design learning that is needed in the era of globalization.Researchers use learning videos that students can install on their respective smartphones to make it easier for students to learn both at home and at school.Apart from that, students can also improve digital literacy when using it.Students will also be taught numeracy literacy skills such as mentioning types of numbers in Arabic and hijaiyyah letters.By looking at the success of previous research, researchers want to show learning videos with digital numeracy literacy skills in children in order to get better results.

METHODOLOGY
This research approach is descriptive qualitative.The qualitative descriptive research in this study is intended to produce data descriptions and theoretical generalizations regarding the management of digital literacy and numeracy education programs at MI.The research was conducted at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Ihyaul Islam starting on August 30 2023, namely in class II with a total of 7 male and 9 female students.Meanwhile, the subjects of this research are teachers and students.Data collection in this research used documentation, interviews and observation techniques.
The documentation used in this research is documents in the form of planning, organizing, managing and evaluating school literacy and numeracy education programs (Harsiati, 2018).This documentation was carried out to obtain document data such as the learning outcomes scores of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah students regarding Digital Literacy and Numeracy Education to Increase Children's Interest in Learning.These data are used as study material to be analyzed and generalized as research results.Documentation data was obtained from data from teachers or students of class III Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Ihyaul Islam.Documentation data regarding the learning outcomes of 16 students, namely test scores consisting of 10 questions given to all students.
Interviews were used to dig up information related to the process of implementing digital literacy and numeracy education programs at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah.Researchers during this research conducted interviews with digital literacy and numeracy education program managers at MI. Technically, interviews are conducted directly, namely face to face or by telephone.In order to focus the ongoing interview and not expand on issues that are less related to the topic of this research, the researcher has anticipated this by making an agreement in advance regarding the topics that will be asked about to the informant either in person or by telephone.This interview was conducted with teachers and students of class III Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Ihyaul Islam regarding digital literacy and numeracy education data to increase children's interest in learning.Interviews were conducted with the class teacher and several students to determine the teacher's increased interest in learning through digital literacy and numeracy learning.The interview was conducted as a free interview but still discussed digital literacy and numeracy education to increase children's interest in learning.
Observation is a tool used by researchers to collect data, namely a recorder and notebook.Observations were carried out through observing the process of implementing the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah digital literacy and numeracy education program (Kusmanto, 2022).This observation was carried out during the implementation of digital literacy and numeracy education to increase children's interest in learning.One type of data that you want to obtain is student interactions or activities during learning activities regarding digital literacy and numeracy education.Observational data is really needed as material for studying data in the field during research activities.
The final step is data analysis.Data analysis in this research applies an interactive analysis model.Interactive analysis is an analysis process that has three components, namely 1) data reduction, 2) data presentation, and 3) drawing conclusions/verification which is carried out simultaneously or cyclically.In this interactive analysis, we move between the three components of the analysis through the collection process until we reach the stage of drawing conclusions.

RESULTS
Based on the results of research in class II with 16 students, the researchers obtained documentation data about learning outcomes through a test of students' numeracy literacy skills in the digital era which used a test instrument in the form of 10 questions and was carried out by the class teacher.Each question consists of indicators of numeracy literacy ability, namely: 1) Being able to know types of numbers in Arabic and hija'iyah letters 2) Being able to memorize numbers in Arabic.The results of the documentation data in this research can be presented in the form of tables, diagrams and pictures.The example displays the table as below.
