Abstract

This study aimed to develop a digital comic based on Indonesian historical heritage and to examine its feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness in enhancing elementary school students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consisted of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants involved 35 fifth-grade elementary school students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, teacher and student response questionnaires, and HOTS tests administered through pretests and posttests. The data were analysed using descriptive percentage analysis and paired sample t-tests. The results showed that the developed digital comic was categorized as very feasible based on expert validation, very practical based on teacher and student responses, and effective in significantly improving students’ HOTS as indicated by the statistical difference between pretest and posttest scores. These findings suggested that digital comics integrating Indonesian historical heritage could serve as an innovative and engaging instructional medium for promoting higher-order thinking in elementary social studies learning. The study implied that culturally contextual digital learning media could support HOTS-oriented instruction and contribute to the development of more meaningful and interactive learning environments in elementary education.

Abstract

In the era of globalisation and digital transformation, elementary education faces challenges in preserving local cultural values within technology-based learning environments. Digital learning media often emphasise globalised content, limiting culturally grounded learning experiences. Meanwhile, Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) have become a core objective of 21st-century education, yet empirically validated media integrating Indonesian cultural diversity with HOTS development remain scarce. This study aims to develop and evaluate KEBAYA (Digital Comics on Indonesian Cultural Diversity), a culture-based digital comic designed to enhance students’ HOTS through interactive narratives. Using a research and development approach with the ADDIE model, the study involved needs analysis, product design aligned with curriculum and cultural values, development using the Canva application, expert validation, and field trials with elementary students. Effectiveness was assessed through HOTS-oriented tests and response questionnaires. The results show that KEBAYA is valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ HOTS, particularly analysis, evaluation, and creative thinking, offering a scalable model for culturally responsive digital learning. This study contributes to culturally responsive digital pedagogy and provides a scalable learning medium for elementary education.
