<![CDATA[General Background: Science learning in elementary schools requires concrete and meaningful learning experiences, particularly for students with intellectual disabilities who may experience difficulties understanding abstract concepts. Specific Background: The five-senses topic requires clear visual representations and learning activities that correspond to students’ characteristics and everyday experiences. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have demonstrated the use of Augmented Reality and Assemblr Edu in learning, but limited research has focused on developing Assemblr Edu 3D media for teaching the five senses to students with intellectual disabilities in inclusive elementary schools. Aims: This study aimed to develop Assemblr Edu 3D learning media for the five-senses topic and examine its feasibility and use for supporting science learning among students with intellectual disabilities. Results: Using Design Based Research, the study involved problem identification, prototype development, iterative testing and improvement, and reflection. The research involved one third-grade student with intellectual disabilities at SDN Bulusidokare. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Expert validation resulted in an overall feasibility score of 86.5%, consisting of 83% for media feasibility and 90% for material suitability. The limited trial indicated greater student attention, engagement, and understanding during learning activities. Novelty: The developed learning product integrates simple visual presentation, interactive three-dimensional objects, contextual illustrations, and audio narration specifically adapted to the learning characteristics of a student with intellectual disabilities. Implications: The findings indicate that Assemblr Edu 3D provides a feasible technology-based learning option for presenting abstract five-senses concepts more concretely and interactively in inclusive elementary education. Key Findings Highlights Feasibility validation reached 86.5%, categorized as feasible. One learner demonstrated greater attention, participation, and understanding during the limited trial. Interactive visualizations and audio supported concrete presentation of five-senses concepts. Keywords : Assemblr Edu, Augmented Reality, Intellectual Disabilities, Science Education, Five Senses]]>
