Abstract


This research and development (R&D) study aimed to create an Android-based interactive learning multimedia to improve digital literacy skills at the junior high school level, specifically within Social Studies learning at SMP Negeri 17 Tulang Bawang Barat. The methodology for this study adhered to the ADDIE model, which systematically guides the process through five distinct stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.. The process involved validating the product with experts before testing it with users. The validity and effectiveness were measured using a questionnaire with a Likert scale, analyzed through both qualitative and quantitative methods, including inferential statistical tests. The multimedia was deemed highly valid based on evaluations by media and content experts, with scores of 86.45% and 85.66%, respectively. It was also rated as attractive by teachers and students, with a percentage of 88.83%. Additionally, it was found to be effective, with an N-Gain of 0.73 (high category) and an average digital literacy improvement of 17.01%. The results of this research present an engaging and effective learning media that helps enhance students’ understanding of Social Studies through the development of digital literacy.
