Abstract

This study explores the integration of ethnoscience and physics perspectives in determining the Hijri calendar in Kudus City, Central Java. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and document analysis, this research reveals that the Kudus community harmonizes scientific reasoning (hisab) with empirical and religious practices (rukyat) based on local wisdom. The findings show that the hisab imkan rukyah haqiqi tahqiqi method applied in the Menara Kudus Almanac represents an advanced traditional model that aligns with modern astronomical calculations involving the Moon's synodic cycle, celestial geometry, and atmospheric refraction. Scientifically, this study contributes to understanding how local ethnoscience can complement and contextualize formal knowledge of physics and astronomy. Practically, it provides insights for developing culture-based science education, particularly in astronomy learning, and offers empirical references for policy formulation on Hijri calendar standardization. However, the study is limited to the Kudus context, suggesting the need for comparative research across other Indonesian regions and further validation using digital simulation or optical instrumentation to enrich the integration between local wisdom and scientific astronomy.

Abstract

This study develops the DILAN (Dalami/Explore, Informasikan/Inform, Latihkan/Practice, Amati/Observe, Nilai/Assess) learning model assisted by Wayang Kamasan Painting to improve global diversity character and cultural literacy in elementary students. The research is based on the limited use of local wisdom in social studies, which makes learning tend to emphasize memorization. Using a Research and Development (RD) design with the ADDIE model, the study followed five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Research instruments included expert validation questionnaires, observation sheets, student and teacher response questionnaires, and cultural literacy tests. The design test showed a feasibility level of 95% (very good). Validation by content, design, and media experts scored ?90% (very good). Student practicality trials reached 87–92.3% (good to very good), while teacher assessment was 93.8% (very good). Effectiveness testing showed significant results: global diversity (t = 2.104 2.064) and cultural literacy (t = 2.121 2.064), indicating H1 was accepted. Thus, the DILAN model with Wayang Kamasan assistance is valid, practical, and effective. It serves as an innovative learning model that integrates local culture, supports character formation, and strengthens national identity in the globalization era.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate digital storytelling-based listening materials that integrate the local culture of Riau Islands to enhance students' listening comprehension. The research employed a Design-Based Research (DBR) approach involving iterative cycles of design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The participants consisted of 35 university students, three lecturers, and three experts in material, language, and media validation. Data were collected through questionnaires, expert validation forms, and pre-test–post-test assessments. The design phase resulted in audiovisual storytelling materials featuring local cultural narratives and interactive comprehension activities. Expert validation indicated that the materials were highly feasible, with mean scores above 85% across material, language, and media aspects. The implementation results revealed a significant improvement in students' listening comprehension, as shown by an increase in the mean score from 61.31 (pre-test) to 80.89 (post-test) with a mean gain of 19.57 points (p .001). The findings suggest that digital storytelling enriched with local culture can serve as an effective and engaging alternative medium for listening instruction. This study contributes to the integration of culturally grounded digital pedagogy in language learning and supports the contextualization of English instruction in multicultural settings.
