Development of an Introduction to East Javanese Culture Learning Application Through Glideapps Titled "Ej Culture
Keywords:
Culture, Development, East Java, Learning Application, GlideappsAbstract
The preservation of East Javanese cultural heritage faces significant challenges due to the rapid influence of globalization and modernization, with many younger generations becoming increasingly detached from their cultural roots and identity. Technology-based learning applications present a promising solution to introduce and preserve East Javanese culture in a more interactive and engaging way, potentially reigniting interest among youth through digital platforms they are familiar with. The research employed Research and Development (R&D) methodology by adapting the ADDIE model, which consists of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation phases to systematically create an educational technology solution. Data collection was conducted using quantitative techniques through questionnaires and assessment sheets distributed to participants representing various demographics, including students, educators, and general community members with diverse technological literacy levels. The sampling approach targeted a representative population from East Java regions to ensure comprehensive feedback on the application's usability. Validation results from expert assessments indicated high levels of content accuracy and educational value, while user testing demonstrated significant improvement in cultural knowledge and appreciation among participants who engaged with the application. The interaction patterns revealed that users particularly valued the application's visual representations of cultural artifacts and interactive elements that facilitated deeper engagement with East Javanese cultural content.
