<![CDATA[Learning dance in elementary school often stops at imitating movements without understanding the cultural meaning behind them. This study aimed to describe the strengthening of fifth-grade students’ deep understanding of the meaning of Bengkulu Persembahan dance movements through MAGPEBU, an interactive learning medium based on basic assessment. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 24 fifth-grade students (class 5A) at SDN 07 Kota Bengkulu. Data were collected through a basic assessment (pretest) and a posttest, then analyzed using normalized gain (N-gain). The mean score increased from 62.50 to 87.92, with a mean N-gain of 0.74 (high category). Fifteen students (62.5%) were in the high category, seven (29.2%) in the medium category, and two (8.3%) in the low category; 23 of the 24 students improved their scores. These findings indicate that MAGPEBU is promising for strengthening students’ understanding of movement meaning and local wisdom.]]>
