Balinese Language, Interactive Multimedia, Cultural Values, Contextual Learning;, MDLCAbstract
Balinese language education at the elementary school level faces significant challenges due to the lack of contextual visual media and declining student interest in their mother tongue. This study aims to design and develop "MELALI," an interactive multimedia tool as an innovative Balinese language learning medium that integrates local cultural values. Employing the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method, this research highlights novelty in the visual representation of characters and environments relevant to Balinese cultural identity for first-grade students at SD Negeri 3 Kukuh. The study involved 24 first-grade students as participants. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and field trials using a pre-test and post-test design. Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to measure feasibility, while comparative analysis was employed to evaluate student learning outcomes. The results indicate that the "MELALI" multimedia is highly feasible based on material expert validation (96%) and media expert validation (88%). Empirically, the use of this medium was associated with an increase in average scores from 49.1 to 90.8. These findings suggest that integrating cultural values into interactive multimedia technology has the potential to serve as an effective catalyst for preserving local languages and improving the quality of contextual learning in the digital era.
