Background: Transformative learning is a learning process that 'brings' learners closer to reality, presenting critical-reflective knowledge, by positioning the teacher more as a facilitator to guide and encourage that process. Online learning has become a choice for face-to-face learning systems in the Digital Era using Learning Management Systems (LMS) to support learning achievements.
Research Objectives: The ultimate goal to be achieved in this research is the emergence of a new product on the transformative learning model assisted by the LMS "Setara Daring" for learners of Equivalency Education in the city of Bandung, Indonesia
Research Method: This research employs a qualitative approach utilizing the case study method to explore the implementation of transformative learning through the Setara Daring LMS in equivalency education. The qualitative approach is chosen to gain an in-depth understanding of the learning process, interactions, and experiences of learners and educators in a digital learning environment. The case study method enables a comprehensive and context-specific analysis by examining real-world applications of the LMS in non-formal education units in Bandung City. Data collection techniques include observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, ensuring a holistic examination of the learning dynamics. Through this approach, the study aims to capture the nuances of learner engagement, critical thinking development, and the role of facilitators in guiding transformative learning. The qualitative nature of this research allows for an exploratory and interpretive analysis, providing valuable insights into how LMS-supported transformative learning can enhance the critical attitudes and adaptability of learners in non-formal education settings.
 
Research Findings: The findings of this study highlight the crucial role of the Setara Daring Learning Management System (LMS) in fostering a transformative learning experience within the context of equivalency education. The system effectively promotes active learner engagement through structured yet flexible learning pathways, enabling meaningful interactions between students, instructors, and learning materials. Interactive features such as discussion forums, collaborative assignments, and formative assessments further reinforce knowledge construction and participation. Additionally, the LMS facilitates critical reflection by integrating activities that encourage students to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information critically, supported by immediate feedback and self-paced learning opportunities. Through guided discussions and problem-solving tasks, learners are empowered to question assumptions, articulate reasoning, and engage in higher-order thinking processes. Moreover, the Setara Daring LMS enhances critical thinking skills by incorporating inquiry-based learning strategies, case studies, and self-assessment tools, fostering an environment that supports independent exploration, analytical reasoning, and decision-making abilities.

This study discusses the role of the government in promoting Islamic moderation in North Sumatra. Through qualitative and quantitative data analysis from 15 academic sources, the author concludes that the government’s main strategy is to make education an effective tool to preserve moderate values. Interfaith dialogue forums are an important platform for local residents to understand and appreciate differences. The results of the study indicate that government efforts have succeeded in reducing indicators of radicalism and increasing the level of social tolerance among the community. However, there are still several active obstacles such as economic instability and ignoring the participation of non-Muslim communities that must be further addressed by the government so that the implementation of Islamic moderation remains stable and develops positively. Integration of moderate values ??in the context of local culture is a strategic step towards a harmonious and prosperous society.
