Abstract

This study explores integrating humanistic animated learning media with ecological education to improve elementary students’ reading interest. Drawing on principles of humanistic pedagogy, the intervention aimed to cultivate empathy, critical thinking, and environmental awareness while simultaneously stimulating literacy skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 217 participants, who engaged with animated stories centered on ecological themes. Data were collected using questionnaires, classroom observations, and interviews, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that students exposed to the animated human-ecological content demonstrated significantly higher reading interest levels than their control group peers. Moreover, the narratives fostered a deeper engagement with ecological issues, highlighting the potential of digital media to address dual objectives of literacy development and value education. However, limitations of the study include the short intervention period, reliance on self-reported measures, and lack of long-term follow-up. These findings contribute to current literacy and environmental education debates by showing that combining humanistic approaches with multimedia can produce meaningful educational outcomes. Future research should extend this model across different cultural and socio-economic contexts, employ longitudinal designs, and assess broader cognitive and affective impacts. This study provides insights for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking innovative strategies to integrate literacy promotion with sustainable education goals.

Abstract

The low literacy skills of elementary school students remain a challenge in Indonesian language learning, as many students still face difficulties in reading, writing, and storytelling. This situation requires innovative learning media that can foster motivation, engagement, and meaningful learning experiences. This study aims to analyze and synthesize the effectiveness of a literacy-based pop-up book learning model in Indonesian language learning through a systematic literature review (SLR). We examined and selected eight peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 using predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria through Google Scholar. We systematically extracted the data and thematically analyzed it to identify patterns of effectiveness, implementation strategies, and challenges. The findings reveal that pop-up book media significantly enhance literacy skills, particularly reading comprehension, creative writing, and oral storytelling, while simultaneously strengthening student motivation and participation through engaging visual representations. Moreover, the integration of pop-up books with interactive learning strategies such as quantum teaching demonstrates a higher impact on learning outcomes. Nevertheless, constraints related to teacher competence and resource availability remain obstacles to broader implementation. This study concludes that pop-up books are an effective medium for promoting literacy-based learning in elementary education and recommends continuous innovation supported by policy and teacher professional development to ensure sustainability and scalability.
