—This research explores the Joyful, Experiential, Meaningful, Personalized, Integrated Technology, and Sustainability Oriented (JEMPITA) learning model as an innovative 21st-century pedagogical approach in Indonesia. This research is grounded in the observation that existing learning models have yet to fully accommodate 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, and technological integration. The JEMPITA model was designed by integrating deep learning theory to create engaging, meaningful, and contextually relevant learning experiences, and has received significant support from both teachers and educational experts. Employing a research and development (R&D) approach, this study adopts the 4D Model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), though it is limited to the defining and designing phases. The research participants consist of Elementary School teachers in West Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through closed-and open-ended questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs). A needs analysis involving 1,875 respondents indicated a strong demand for a learning model that enhances learning motivation, personalization, technological integration, and sustainability orientation. Among the model’s components, joyful and meaningful factors emerged as the most urgently needed, whereas the primary challenges identified were limited training and inadequate infrastructure. These findings suggest that the JEMPITA model holds strong potential as a transformative approach to primary education that is responsive to 21st-century challenges. © 2026 ACADEMY PUBLICATION.
