<![CDATA[This study investigates the efficacy of the Canva program as an interactive learning tool and examines the difficulties fifth-grade elementary school pupils encounter in comprehending the Harmony in the Ecosystem theme. Because of the abstract nature of the relationships between its components, the ecosystem subject is sometimes seen as challenging. This difficulty is exacerbated by traditional teaching techniques and a dearth of interactive tools. Data were gathered through interviews and observations at a public elementary school in East Jakarta during the 2024–2025 school year using a qualitative descriptive method. The purpose of the study is to investigate how Canva's interactive and visual elements can enhance students' comprehension and learning motivation. The higher average posttest scores in the experimental group relative to the control group demonstrate that Canva considerably improves students' understanding of ecosystem subject. Canva also boosts students' motivation and involvement in the learning process. Despite challenges such as limited internet access and time constraints in preparing materials, these issues can be addressed by providing printed materials and utilizing available school devices. This study concludes that Canva is an effective and innovative tool for improving understanding of ecosystem concepts while fostering an engaging, participatory learning environment. The study recommends integrating Canva into elementary school learning as part of a technology-driven educational approach in the digital era.]]>
