Learning innovation refers to the development or use of new methods, technologies, or approaches in the learning process. These innovations aim to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance of learning to meet the needs of students. In anticipation of the new Merdeka Curriculum, teachers are eager to innovate, one of which is the use of collaborative approaches in early literacy learning. This study aims to understand the importance of collaborative learning, the process of collaborative learning, and the positive impacts of using collaborative approaches in education. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, conducted at SDN 2 Kuta, Central Lombok. Data collection was carried out through observations and interviews.The results indicate that the use of collaborative approaches is essential as it enriches students' learning experiences and prepares them to face the demands of an ever-evolving world, enhances social skills, improves communication skills, increases student engagement in learning, and empowers students to take an active role in their own learning. Collaborative learning approaches are implemented through peer tutoring, where students help each other understand lesson materials or overcome learning difficulties. Peer tutoring can be a highly effective approach, as it allows students to learn in a relaxed manner, increases student involvement, boosts self-confidence, and supports the development of individual learning.The outcomes of using peer tutoring include improved literacy skills among early-stage students, increased self-confidence, better relationships between students, and heightened student motivation to learn.
