<![CDATA[Education has undergone changes due to digital technology, especially in terms of interactive media that improve student understanding. This study examines the extent to which fourth-grade students understand the Kingdoms in the Archipelago in history lessons using INFORIA (Interactive Infographics of Archipelago History). Sixty-two students were deliberately selected to be divided into an experimental group and a control group in this study, which was conducted at an elementary school in Bandung Regency. P retests, posttests, and student response questionnaires were used to collect data in a quasi-experimental design (Non-Equivalent Control Group Design). With an average pretest score of 44, a posttest score of 80.10, and an N-Gain of 65.39% (moderately effective), the results show that the performance of the experimental group improved significantly. The average pretest score was 40, the average posttest score was 67.16, and the N-Gain for the control group was 44.84% (ineffective). The difference was significant between the groups, as confirmed by an independent sample t-test (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Students also expressed positive opinions about the media in their responses. These results show that INFORIA is a useful and enjoyable tool for improving historical understanding in social studies lessons at the elementary school level.]]>
