Abstract

Natural and Social Sciences learning in a Grade 4 class in Central Java, Indonesia, showed a mean end-of-semester score of 59.64 against a learning achievement criterion of 70, and only 8 of 28 students scored above this criterion. Existing Canva-based studies have mostly examined interactive media, infographics, e-comics, and flashcards, so this study developed a Canva-based animated video on cultural diversity and local wisdom and examined its validity, practicality, baseline conditions for effectiveness testing, and student learning activity. The study used research and development with the ADDIE model, and seven validators assessed the product, namely two media experts, two content experts, two language experts, and one IPAS classroom teacher. Twenty-eight students completed a response questionnaire, their pre-test and post-test scores were screened for normality, and classroom observation notes from three days were summarized descriptively. The mean validity score was 90.8%, with media 97.5%, content 83.3%, language 92.5%, and IPAS learning 90.0%, and student responses yielded a practicality score of 92.6%. The video was rated very valid and very practical in this setting, and the content aspect received the lowest and most variable ratings, which indicates where revision attention is most useful. Evidence of learning gains requires a controlled comparison with larger samples, and the findings are preliminary and apply to a single class.
