<![CDATA[Viewing ability plays an important role in Indonesian language learning and in strengthening the digital literacy of elementary school students. However, studies on the implementation of digital-based SQ3R strategies to improve viewing ability remain limited, particularly through the use of news videos as learning media. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a digital-based SQ3R strategy using news videos in improving students’ viewing ability. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method through a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of 30 fifth-grade students of SDN Gudang I selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through viewing ability tests and documentation, and were then analyzed using comparative inferential statistical techniques. The results showed that the implementation of the digital-based SQ3R strategy was able to significantly improve students’ viewing ability. This improvement was indicated by an increase in the mean score from 53.20 in the pretest to 92.33 in the posttest. The N-Gain test obtained an average score of 0.8349, which was included in the high category, while the hypothesis test showed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. These findings indicate that the digital-based SQ3R strategy is effective in helping students understand, identify important information, and summarize the content of news videos more systematically. The conclusion of this study confirms that the integration of the SQ3R strategy with digital media in the form of news videos is an effective learning alternative for improving the viewing ability of elementary school students. The implications of this study include a theoretical contribution to enriching studies on the SQ3R strategy in digital-based viewing instruction and a practical contribution for teachers in designing innovative, contextual, and audiovisual media-based Indonesian language learning.]]>
