INTRODUCTION
Currently, the progress of information technology is experiencing rapid development.This phenomenon can be observed from the growth of cutting-edge technologies such as data science, artificial intelligence, and the increasingly widespread use of the internet in all aspects of life (Ghufron, 2018).In the education sector, the advancement of information technology is changing the way we learn, teach, and impacting the entire education ecosystem.Therefore, teachers, students, and all stakeholders involved must be able to adapt for the achievement of quality education.Teachers are required to possess the ability to prepare students to work with and utilize technology in addressing the challenges encountered in the learning process and in community life.In this regard, a deep understanding of the characteristics of learning in the digital era becomes crucial for teachers to master (Indra et al, 2019).
Speaking of education, Indonesia places it in a very important position and considers it as a fundamental element.This is in line with the content of the fourth paragraph of the preamble of the 1945 Constitution, which emphasizes that the goal of enlightening the life of the nation is the responsibility of the state (Sherly, Dharma, & Sihombing, 2020).In facing the increasingly modern world, with easy access to information and rapid digital technology capabilities, there are great opportunities to transform education in Indonesia to be more interactive, connected, and adaptive (Nagri, Muqawim, Radjasa, Munastiwi, & Santika, 2020).By harnessing these potentials, Indonesian education can keep up with the times, prepare the younger generation with relevant skills, and provide quality education for the entire society.
The 21 st century learning is oriented towards a digital lifestyle, where digital technology becomes an integral part of the learning process (Lukum, 2019).In this context, the use of digital tools, online platforms, and digital resources becomes the means to access, interact, and collaborate in learning.Teachers cannot avoid interacting with the digitally active generation that utilizes technology.This generation tends to be less interested in formal education and quickly gets bored with conventional learning methods.As agents of change, teachers must adapt and develop the ability to harness technology in teaching to meet the needs and expectations of this digital generation.This includes using digital tools in learning, providing technology-relevant content, and developing digital skills to actively participate in the digital era (Murfi'ah, 2017).
In utilizing technology, there are several prerequisites that need to be fulfilled.Firstly, the readiness of teachers and students to use technology.Secondly, the commitment of educational institutions or schools to provide adequate access and infrastructure facilities (Suciati, 2018).Although technology has improved accessibility to educational resources, there are still digital divides that need to be addressed.In certain regions, not all students and schools have equal access to technology and reliable internet connections (Amelia et al., 2017;Eugenia et al., 2013;Tae & Ngongo, 2022).Additionally, educators who feel comfortable with traditional teaching methods and classroom management may hesitate to explore new ideas and approaches that are considered outside of their usual practices.This is what causes many teachers in schools to struggle and face difficulties in adapting to the digital era (Zuriah, Sunaryo, & Yusuf, 2016).So, how do we address the digital divide and develop teachers' abilities to effectively integrate technology in teaching?
To address such matters, strong support from educational institutions, improved access to technology, and adequate training for educators are undoubtedly necessary.These factors enable them to confidently and skillfully utilize technology within the context of learning.Because each individual possesses a unique creative potential within themselves.As time goes by, they continue to sharpen their creativity to enhance competitiveness in all fields.Creativity plays a crucial role in our lives.It's not just about discovering new things, but also about transforming and modifying existing inventions to provide added value.
As the catalyst or main driving force in implementing changes and advancements in the field of education, teachers must not be 'outdated'.In response to this, the Government has developed a program called "Teacher Leaders" that is integrated with the independent learning curriculum, aiming to reform education (Kholik, 2021).The teacher leaders education becomes one of the prestigious platforms for teachers to showcase their skills, and its graduates will be facilitated to become educational leaders in the future.The role as an educational leader includes positions such as School Principal, School Supervisor, and Training Instructor (Yusup, 2015).The selection process itself presents a special challenge for the chosen teachers, as their teaching creativity is put to the test, and the 9-month education period, conducted both online and offline, serves as evidence of the perseverance possessed by these teachers (Ardiyan, Purba, Siburian, & Sinaga, 2022).
Teacher leaders in education must be able to balance the demands of the modern era, particularly in terms of character education as the foundation for students to remain wise in the face of evolving challenges of the times, and to have a critical mindset in responding to all available information.An Teacher leaders is a teacher who motivates other teachers in independent learning to develop students' potential holistically.An Teacher leaders in independent learning not only has the ability to manage learning effectively but also needs to establish good relationships with students within the school community by utilizing available technology for the improvement of teaching quality.Additionally, they should engage in continuous reflection and evaluation to enhance their teaching practices.An empowering teacher should serve as a role model, demonstrating both competence and determination to bring about change (Rahmani, Radiana, & Saputra, 2022).
In the current era, Canva has become a highly suitable application for teacher leaders to enhance their creativity.The collaboration between Canva and belajar.idaccounts further supports the use of this application.Canva for Education is a free enhancement package specifically designed for educators, students, and educational staff.Canva is an online-based design application that is easily accessible through the Play Store or directly from the Canva website.This application provides various attractive design templates, ranging from presentations, resumes, curriculum vitae, pamphlets, infographics, newsletters, book cover designs, bookmarks, and much more.Many research studies, such as Famukhit (2016), Nurhayati et al.,(2022) , Purba & Harahap (2022) have mentioned the diverse use of Canva in various educational contexts.
The advantage of Canva lies in its relatively easy-to-learn features, allowing teachers to quickly master its usage (Apriani, Sumargiyani, & Yanto, 2022).This application provides convenience for teachers to create attractive and high-quality designs without requiring indepth design skills.It becomes the right solution for teacher leaders who want to enhance their creativity through appealing and professional graphic designs.
Previous research studies on Canva have been conducted by several researchers.One of them is the study conducted by Wahyuni and Thohiriyah (2018), which stated that educators can create infographics using the Canva application.Furthermore, Canva also allows educators and students to become "design thinkers," which means they can skillfully create new creations or modify existing designs with their own original designs.Research results have shown that Canva helps students to better understand the taught.This statement is supported by several research findings that indicate Canva's ability to enhance creativity due to its userfriendly interface and simple icons and tools (Fitria, Habibi, Hakim, & Islamiyah, 2021;Junaedi, 2021;Zulhandayani, 2023).
This research is intriguing for two main reasons.Firstly, despite Canva's potential to enhance creativity, educators who utilize Canva as a media tool have not yet achieved the expected level of perfection (Monoarfa & Haling, 2021).Secondly, there has been no specific study that delves into the impact of Canva's usage on the creativity of prospective teacher leaders.In this context, it is essential to comprehend and demonstrate whether the use of Canva genuinely influences the creativity of prospective teacher leaders.By studying the experiences and perspectives of prospective teacher leaders who use Canva as a tool in the educational process, the results of this research are expected to provide valuable insights for education in effectively utilizing the Canva application to enhance the creativity of prospective teacher leaders.The findings of this research can also provide practical recommendations to prospective teacher leaders and educational institutions to utilize Canva in developing engaging, innovative, and creative learning materials.

Before conducting the regresi test, a normality test was used to evaluate whether the obtained data follows a normal distribution or not.The findings indicate that the obtained pvalue is greater than 0.05, indicating that the data meets the assumption of normal distribution as required by the research.Source: Processed primary data The linearity test result shows that the significance value of deviation from linearity is 0.664, indicating the presence of a linear relationship between the usage of Canva application and the creativity of prospective teacher leaders.To determine the influence of the Canva application on the creativity of prospective teacher leaders, a simple linear regression test was conducted.Decision-making is done by comparing the significance value (p-value) with a probability value of 0.05.The regression test results show that the constant value (a) is 10.199, and the Canva value (b/regression coefficient) is 0.428.Therefore, the regression equation can be written as follows: Y = a + bX Y= 10.199 + 0,428 If the significance value (p-value) obtained from the regression test is smaller than 0.05, it indicates a significant influence between the use of the Canva application and the creativity of prospective teacher leaders.On the other hand, if the significance value is greater than 0.05, it suggests that there is no significant influence between the two variables.
Based on the equation above, the constant value of 10.199 indicates that creativity has a baseline value of 10.199.The regression coefficient of 0.428 suggests that for every 1% increase in the Canva value, creativity will increase by 0.0428.Since the regression coefficient has a positive value, it can be concluded that there is a positive relationship between the Canva variable (X) and the creativity of prospective teacher leaders (Y).
In the decision-making process of simple regression analysis, a coefficient significance value of 0.000 was obtained, which is smaller than 0.05.This indicates that the Canva application variable (X) has a significant influence on the creativity of prospective teacher leaders (Y).Additionally, the calculated t-value of 3.968 exceeds the critical t-value of 2.008.Therefore, it can be concluded that the Canva application variable (X) has an effect on the creativity of prospective teacher leaders (Y).In the data analysis, a product-moment correlation test was used to assess the strength of the relationship between the dependent variable, the usage of the Canva application, and the independent variable, the creativity of prospective teacher leaders.The results of the product-moment analysis show a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.489.This indicates a moderate level of influence between the two variables, as the coefficient value falls within the range of 0.40 to 0.599.Furthermore, the obtained Sig.(2-tailed) value of 0.000 indicates that the probability value is less than 0.05.Thus, it can be concluded that the relationship between the variables in this study is significant and positive, supporting the proposed hypothesis.

DISCUSSION
Based on the research conducted on prospective teacher leader in the 7th cohort of Bojonegoro district, the data obtained indicates that there is an influence provided by the Canva application on the creativity of prospective teacher leaders.Currently, the Canva application has become the primary choice for teacher leaders in terms of graphic design for learning purposes.With user-friendly and abundant features, this application enables them to quickly create creative designs that are relevant to the learning materials.Additionally, the availability of various customizable templates and design elements makes Canva a flexible tool for teacher leaders to adjust designs according to their needs.One of the evidence of Canva's popularity among teacher leaders can be seen from the results of an interview conducted on May 21, 2023, via WhatsApp with Mrs. Gestin, a practicum instructor in Bojonegoro District.According to her, almost all teacher leaders use Canva for educational purposes, creating content, and implementing real actions in education.This indicates that Canva has a significant impact in enriching the learning and teaching experience for teacher leaders.
In addition, Koerul Li'umah, one of the participants of the Teacher leaders Program, also revealed that Canva is very easy to learn, even for beginners.This application provides many interesting features that can sharpen users' creativity.Although some Canva templates are paid, fortunately, Canva collaborates with the education sector, allowing many paid features to be accessed by teachers through the belajar.idaccount.With the collaboration between Canva and belajar.id, the teacher leaders can take advantage of various premium features for free.This certainly provides them with the opportunity to explore more design options and enhance the quality of the learning materials they create.Although this application provides many useful features, Huda, who is also a teacher leader, revealed that there are drawbacks regarding the accessibility of some features for teacher leaders.While the majority of features can be used for free, some special features still require payment and copyright when used as open educational resources in their assets.
In line with (Fitria et al., 2021;Junaedi, 2021;Zulhandayani, 2023) who stated that Canva can enhance creativity due to its user-friendly interface, simple icons, and tools, teacher leaders can optimize their creativity in creating engaging learning materials through Canva.This finding also justifies what was stated by Reisoğlu (2022) that the professional performance of teachers assisted by digital technology is increasingly improving.This application not only simplifies the design process but also provides convenience in collaborating with colleagues and sharing design outputs online.This allows aspiring teacher leaders to continuously develop new ideas and enhance the quality of the learning they provide to students.
In the advancing digital era, the utilization of Canva application by aspiring teacher leaders becomes a smart move.The data obtained in this research proves that there is an influence of the Canva application on the creativity of aspiring teacher leaders.They can surpass traditional limitations in creating learning materials.They can combine visual elements, text, and multimedia in creative and engaging ways.Their performance is supported by their positive perspective on the utilization of digital technology (Thohir, Maarif, Rosyid, Huda, & Ahmadi, 2021).Moreover, its usage becomes a necessity in dealing with Generation Z learners (Abdigapbarova & Zhiyenbayeva, 2023;Hernandez-de-Menendez, Escobar Díaz, & Morales-Menendez, 2020).Additionally, Canva also provides various templates that can be used as guides or inspiration in creating unique and dynamic designs.(Khoiriyah et al., 2016).

CONCLUSION
The use of the Canva application significantly enhances the creativity of prospective teacher leaders.As many as 92.3% of prospective teacher leader in Bojonegoro Regency use Canva with a creativity rating of 94.2%, which falls under the category of very high.The statistical analysis results indicate that the Canva application variable has a significant influence on the creativity of prospective teacher leaders.Furthermore, the moment product analysis shows a moderate relationship between the two variables, supporting the proposed hypothesis.This article recommends the use of the Canva application as an effective and efficient solution for prospective teacher leaders to enhance their creativity in creating content or teaching materials.This application provides ease and flexibility in graphic design, allowing prospective teacher leaders to create interesting and innovative teaching materials more easily.Furthermore, the findings of this research also emphasize the importance of utilizing technology in the field of education to provide a better and more meaningful learning experience.
