Abstract

This study aimed to develop valid, practical, and effective Macromedia Flash-based interactive multimedia to improve elementary school students’ computational thinking skills on the topic of Indonesian Cultural Wealth. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The participants were fourth-grade students of SDN 05 Sawahan and SDN 01 Sawahan, Padang Timur District. The results showed that the developed multimedia was highly valid, with validation scores of 90.48% from material experts, 90.79% from language experts, and 87.50% from media experts. The practicality test indicated very practical criteria, with teacher and student response scores of 89.28% and 91.08%, respectively. The effectiveness test revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores in the experimental class (t = 15.499 > 1.711; Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05), indicating an improvement in students’ computational thinking skills. The N-gain results were 0.64 for the experimental class and 0.48 for the control class, both categorized as medium. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of computational thinking components—decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking—into interactive multimedia through animations, simulations, and educational games tailored to elementary school students. Therefore, the developed multimedia can serve as an effective learning medium in elementary education.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the demand for the transformation of basic education in response to the challenges of the 21st century, particularly in developing elementary school students’ critical reasoning through the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. This curriculum emphasizes student-centered learning and is grounded in an epistemological framework that views knowledge as the result of learners’ active construction. The study aims to analyze the epistemological foundations of the Merdeka Curriculum at the elementary school level, its implementation in the learning process, and its role in fostering students’ critical reasoning. The research employs a library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data sources consist of official Merdeka Curriculum documents, as well as relevant national and international books and journal articles on educational epistemology and the development of critical reasoning. Data analysis was conducted using interpretative and critical content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that the Merdeka Curriculum is grounded in a constructivist epistemology, enriched by pragmatic and empirical approaches, thereby supporting contextual, project-based learning oriented toward students’ learning experiences. The curriculum plays a positive role in cultivating students’ critical reasoning; however, its implementation still faces challenges related to teachers’ readiness, school culture, and students’ adaptation. It can be concluded that strengthening teachers’ epistemological understanding and providing support from the educational ecosystem are key factors in the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in developing elementary school students’ critical reasoning.
