The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum requires learning processes that accommodate students’ diverse learning needs. This study aimed to develop differentiated learning-based interactive multimedia on ecosystem material and to examine its validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants were 28 fifth-grade students of SDN Lirboyo 2 Kediri City, involved in both limited-scale and large-scale trials. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, validation sheets, and pretest-posttest assessments, and were analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques with percentage scores and N-Gain analysis. The results indicated that the developed multimedia achieved a validity score of 96% (very valid), a practicality score of 90% (very practical), and an N-Gain score of 0.84 (high). Therefore, the differentiated learning-based interactive multimedia was considered valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ learning outcomes on ecosystem material.

This study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE development model which includes the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The research subjects were 28 third-grade students of SDN Burengan 3, Kediri City. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, questionnaires, and tests. Data were analyzed using percentage analysis to measure validity and practicality, as well as the N-Gain test to measure the effectiveness of the media. The results showed that the media obtained a percentage of material expert validation of 90% and media expert validation of 90% with a very valid category. The results of the practicality test obtained a percentage of teacher responses of 90% and student responses of 93.6% with an average of 91.8% which is included in the very practical category. The effectiveness test results showed an N-Gain value of 0.795 in the limited trial and 0.78 in the extensive trial, with a high score. Thus, the Articulate Storyline learning media based on the CRT approach was declared valid, practical, and effective in improving student learning outcomes in the subject of East Javanese Cultural Diversity.

The research conducted by the researcher is classroom action research. This study aims to examine the application of the Direct Instruction model, supported by the “Peta Batara (Punctuation Adventures in the Archipelago)” media, in improving punctuation writing skills. The research subjects consisted of 20 second-grade students at SD 2 Sidorekso, and the study was conducted over two cycles comprising four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and evaluation. Data sources included observations, interviews, documentation, and tests. Additionally, descriptive data analysis was used to determine improvements in students’ writing skills throughout the learning process. The results of the study showed a significant improvement: Cycle I had an average score of 46.5, which increased to 75.5 in Cycle II. The number of students meeting the mastery criteria in Cycle I was 5 out of 20 students, or 25%, and in Cycle II, this increased to 14 out of 20 students, or 70%, representing a 45% increase. Therefore, the implementation of the Direct Instruction model assisted by the “Peta Batara (Punctuation Adventures in the Archipelago)” media has proven effective in improving the punctuation writing skills of second-grade students at SD 2 Sidorekso.
