Abstract

The development of digital literacy in primary schools has not progressed in line with the increasing availability of digital devices. This study analyzes the implementation of digital libraries in supporting digital literacy learning in a public primary school in Purwakarta Regency. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the study involved 25 participants consisting of one principal (4%), four teachers (16%), and 20 students from grades four and five (80%). Data were obtained through observation, semi structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that digital libraries expand students’access to information and enhance independence in searching for digital content, where 70% of students demonstrate high information-seeking autonomy. Teachers’ utilization of digital libraries is categorized as moderate (50%), while access to digital devices remains uneven, with only 35% of students in the high-access category. The use of digital libraries also strengthens students’ critical and reflective skills, although implementation is constrained by limited facilities, low teacher proficiency in managing digital shelves, and restrictive school policies particularly the ban on mobile phone use. Overall, digital librariesfunction as collaborative learning spaces that support the development of 21st-century competencies when supported by adequate infrastructure and flexible school regulations.

Abstract

This study was driven by the limited availability of basic literacy teaching materials that integrate local cultural values for students in Phase A of elementary school. The research aims to develop and validate the interactive multimedia “Si Leungli” as a digital medium to strengthen basic literacy through West Javanese folklore. Using the Design and Development (D&D) approach with the PPE (Planning, Production, Evaluation) model, the study ensured a systematic and iterative process. In the planning stage, learning objectives were formulated according to the Merdeka Curriculum’s Phase A outcomes, focusing on early reading, basic writing, and text comprehension within a cultural context. The production stage produced an interactive audio-visual flipbook that includes folklore stories, engaging illustrations, and literacy activities such as reading, word guessing, writing, and coloring. In the evaluation stage, three categories of experts subject matter, learning, and media validated the product using a Likert-scale instrument, yielding a 94.8% feasibility score (excellent category). The results indicate that integrating folklore into interactive media enhances engagement, reading interest, and moral values like empathy, cooperation, and responsibility. The study contributes to culture-based emergent literacy theory and offers contextual, character-building learning innovations for early-grade teachers. In practice, this innovation can support Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 4 on Quality Education by promoting inclusive, equitable, and responsive early literacy learning.
