Abstract

Students still have difficulties in developing their interest in learning and the ability to solve science problems. This has an impact on students having difficulty working in groups, communicating, solving problems, and making decisions as the right solution to a problem. The objectives of this study are (1) to analyze whether there is a difference in learning interest and science problem-solving ability of students who use educational comics and students who do not use educational comics (2) to analyze the influence of educational comics on the increase in learning interest and science problem-solving ability in students. This research is expected to provide data about the use of comics in improving students' problem-solving abilities and interest in learning. This research was carried out with the research subject in the form of 5th grade elementary school students. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control design. The data collection method uses research instruments in the form of questionnaires and tests. The data analysis technique used is quantitative descriptive analysis. Based on the hypothesis test, the independent t-test with a significant level (a) of 0.05 obtained a significance value of 0.000 and the paired sample t-test with a significance level of (a) 0.05 obtained a significance value of 0.000. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a difference in learning interest and science problem-solving ability between students who use educational comics and students who do not use educational comics, educational comics also affect the increase in learning interest and science problem-solving skills of 5th grade elementary school students.

Abstract

Multicultural Indonesia has local wisdom as a marker of national identity, but rapid digitalization—accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic—has changed students' perceptions, rendering cultural values obsolete. This study describes a strategy for cultural preservation by integrating local wisdom into intra- and extracurricular activities in elementary schools. A qualitative design was implemented through observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Participants (students, teachers, and principals) were purposively selected in educational units that instill cultural values. Data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana interactive model (reduction, presentation, and verification) and validated through the triangulation of sources and techniques. These local wisdom-based activities foster students' cultural identity while enhancing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The implications of these findings include the need for ongoing policy support, targeted teacher training, and the judicious use of technology to maintain cultural content in digital classrooms. The results indicate that schools function as agents of cultural transmission, as local content is integrated into Javanese Language, Fine Arts, and Civic Education subjects. At the same time, Pencak Silat and Karawitan expand their practices into extracurricular areas. These findings underscore the importance of revitalizing local wisdom as a foundation for character education in today's globalized world.
