Evaluation of the Impact of Learning Application Innovation on Improving Literacy and Numeracy of Elementary School Students of SD UPT SDN 068007 Medan

This study aims to evaluate the impact of the use of digital learning applications on improving literacy and numeracy of elementary school students in the context of the Independent Curriculum. The study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test model. The subjects of the study were 25 grade IV students at one of the partner elementary schools. Learning outcomes were measured using literacy and numeracy evaluation instruments before and after learning using the IKM application. Data analysis showed a significant improvement in both aspects, with a p-value < 0.001 based on paired t-tests. These results show that learning applications make a positive contribution to student learning outcomes. This research supports the integration of technology in basic education as a strategy to increase learning effectiveness and equitable distribution of learning outcomes.
