Abstract

Natural and Social Sciences learning in elementary schools requires instructional materials that integrate scientific and social concepts while remaining relevant to students’ cultural environments. Existing materials frequently present local culture as supplementary information and provide limited guidance for interdisciplinary learning. This study aimed to develop the Pesona Jepara textbook, which integrates Jepara’s local culture into Grade V Natural and Social Sciences learning through a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics approach. The study employed a research and development design involving the analysis, design, and development stages of the ADDIE framework. Product feasibility was evaluated by three experts in elementary education, elementary science education, and elementary social studies education using a four-point validation instrument covering nine aspects. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively, while expert comments guided product refinement. The textbook obtained an overall mean score of 3.78 out of 4.00, equivalent to 94.53%, and was categorised as very feasible. Conceptual accuracy, STEAM implementation, and the integration of natural and social sciences received the highest percentages of 97.25%. Design practicality received 88.25% but remained within the very feasible category. Classroom trials are required to establish the product’s practicality and effectiveness.

Abstract

Natural Science and Social Studies in elementary schools often face limitations in integrated teaching materials that are relevant to students’ socio-cultural context, while the curriculum demands contextual and interdisciplinary learning. This study developed the natural Science and Social Studies textbook “Pesona Jepara”, which integrates science and social studies concepts with the local culture of Jepara Regency through a STEAM-based approach, employing a Research and Development (R&D) method limited to the stages of analysis, design, development, and expert validation. Validation results from three experts indicated a very high level of feasibility across all aspects, including curriculum alignment, conceptual accuracy, cultural integration, and STEAM implementation, confirming that the teaching materials are coherent, contextual, and pedagogically sound. Limited testing through expert validation highlights the need for further research to evaluate student responses and classroom effectiveness. This textbook provides an integrated reference that bridges the need for contextual learning with interdisciplinary STEAM principles, while serving as a foundation for future studies.
