<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the low learning outcomes of fourth-grade students in Indonesian language learning, particularly in folk story materials, where only 35% of students achieved the learning mastery criterion. This study aimed to determine the validity, practicality, and learning gain associated with the use of a digital flipbook based on the Malaka folk story, the Kolo Bian Legend. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The population consisted of 50 fourth-grade students, comprising 26 students in Class IV.A and 24 students in Class IV.B. A sample of 26 students from Class IV.A was selected using purposive sampling based on preliminary findings regarding students’ learning needs and difficulties in understanding folk story materials. Data were collected through observation, interviews, expert validation questionnaires, teacher and student response questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. Learning outcomes were examined using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The results showed that the digital flipbook was highly valid, with media and material expert scores of 83.33% and 90%, respectively. The practicality scores were 89% in the limited trial and 88% in the field trial. Students’ mean learning outcomes increased from 41.69 on the pre-test to 87.46 on the post-test, with an N-Gain score of 0.78, indicating a high level of learning gain. These findings indicate substantial improvement in students’ learning outcomes following the implementation of the digital flipbook. However, because the study used a one-group pre-test and post-test design without a control or comparison group, the findings should be interpreted as evidence of learning gain rather than definitive evidence of causal effectiveness. The study contributes a locally grounded digital learning medium for Indonesian language instruction in elementary schools.]]>
