The limited use of digital teaching materials via Genially, which integrate natural materials into arts and culture lessons, specifically for collage techniques contributes to low student learning outcomes and creativity levels. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of these teaching materials on the creativity and learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SD Negeri Gisikdrono 02 Semarang, and to analyze the differences between instruction using these digital materials and instruction relying on conventional visual aids. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. The research sample consisted of 50 students: Class IV A (26 students) served as the control group, while Class IV C (24 students) served as the experimental group. Data collection techniques included pre-tests and post-tests, interviews, questionnaires, observations, and document analysis. The results indicate that the significance value (2-tailed) for learning outcomes and creativity, obtained via an independent samples t-test, was ≤0.001< 0.05, while the two-tailed significance value for learning outcomes obtained via a paired samples t-test was also ≤0.001< 0.05. Thus, it can be concluded that digital teaching materials integrating natural materials are effective in enhancing student creativity and learning outcomes, and that there is a significant difference in the mean scores for creativity and learning outcomes between instruction using these digital materials and instruction using conventional visual aids.
