Videos and E-Books Featuring Central Kalimantan Folklore as Resources for Interactive Narrative Text Learning

This research addresses the lack of references for Central Kalimantan folktales available in three languages: Indonesian, English, and Dayak Ngaju. These materials aim to enrich the narrative text learning content for elementary and junior high schools, particularly those developed with digital technology. This is very important for supporting learning, which leverages digital technology while integrating local wisdom, such as folklore, into narrative text instruction. Furthermore, this approach aligns with the profile of Pancasila students, who embody global characteristics through the internalization of cultural values, fostering the holistic development of cognitive and affective domains. The goal of this study is to create videos and e-books featuring Central Kalimantan folklore as interactive learning resources, based on local wisdom, for students in the city of Palangka Raya. Using the technology-enhanced language learning (TELL) approach and ethno-pedagogy within the R&D framework of the ADDIE model, the research resulted in video and e-book products derived from field studies which designed for classroom use. The study was conducted over an eight-month period in 2024, using instruments such as observation guideline sheets, interview guideline sheets, and expert validation. The research has developed 24 videos and e-books validated by experts in content and TELL media. Product trials will be conducted with students from two exemplary schools in the city—one elementary and one junior high school—covering the subjects of Indonesian, Dayak Ngaju, and English language learning. Comprehensive production and validation from the product trials will be resumed in the implementation stage.
