The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for effective disaster mitigation literacy among students, yet awareness and adherence to health protocols remain inadequate despite available information. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a student-oriented learning model in enhancing disaster mitigation literacy regarding COVID-19, focusing on virus transmission, mask usage, handwashing, and social distancing, while also assessing student responses. The research employed a 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) and was conducted with Class X MIPA 1 students at SMAN 2 Mataram. Data were collected using pre-tests, post-tests, response questionnaires, and observation sheets, with knowledge improvement measured using the N-Gain score. Results showed that the student-oriented disaster mitigation literacy education was effective in significantly improving students’ knowledge of COVID-19 transmission and health protocol implementation, yielding an average N-Gain of 0.60 (moderate category). Furthermore, students responded positively to the learning process. These findings indicate that student-oriented literacy education can successfully enhance both knowledge and behavioral readiness toward health protocols in school settings during the pandemic.
