Abstract

This research investigates the role of local media in political communication during the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections in Bima City, focusing on how accessible information affects candidate electability. It highlights challenges faced by local media, including political bias that undermines reporting objectivity and how shifts in political party support alter public perceptions. The study aims to assess how local media presents political information and its impact on public participation, as well as how local media adapt to the digital age through social media engagement by politicians. Findings indicate that local media significantly enhance political education and public involvement, although issues regarding independence and neutrality persist. While local media effectively disseminate information about candidates and their programs, biases can sway public opinion and impact democratic quality. The research concludes that improving professionalism and commitment to balanced journalism principles is essential for fostering a more transparent and accountable democratic process.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate an eye health literacy module based on the ADDIE model and a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach to strengthen elementary school students’ understanding of the negative impacts of gadget use. The research employed a research and development (R&D) design consisting of needs analysis, design, expert validation, implementation, and evaluation. A total of 72 students participated, selected purposively based on their high daily exposure to digital devices. The instruments, namely, an eye health literacy test and expert validation sheets were reviewed by specialists in education, health, and instructional media. Validation results yielded an average score of 87.6%, categorized as highly feasible. The effectiveness test demonstrated a significant improvement in literacy scores, increasing from 61.4 (pre-test) to 83.7 (post-test) (t = 9.84; p < 0.001). Indicator-based analysis showed consistent enhancement across basic eye-health knowledge, awareness of gadget-related risks, eye-care habits, preventive strategies, and positive health attitudes. These findings confirm that the module not only strengthens conceptual understanding but also fosters preventive behavioral change. The novelty of this study lies in integrating PBL with eye-health literacy materials tailored to students’ digital routines, offering a contextual, interactive, and practice-oriented learning resource. Thus, this module is feasible, practical, and effective as an innovative educational medium and a preventive strategy to mitigate visual health risks associated with prolonged gadget use among elementary school students.
