Analysis of Digital Comic Media Containing Local Wisdom in Elementary School Science Literacy Learning

Science learning in the digital era still tends to be conventional and lacks the utilization of digital technology and local wisdom. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive qualitative design. The purpose of this research was to provide an in-depth description of the development and implementation process of digital comics containing local wisdom in science learning. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers and students, classroom observations, and document analysis. The results of the study show that: (1) the development pattern of local wisdom-based digital comics requires the collaborative involvement of teachers, students, and cultural experts; (2) the effectiveness of the media is reflected in the improvement of students’ conceptual understanding, learning motivation, and connection with local culture; and (3) key factors for successful implementation include teacher support, content relevance to daily life, and integration of cultural values. The implication of this study highlights the importance of collaborative strategies in developing digital learning media based on local wisdom to support more contextual science literacy.
