Abstract

This study explores the development and implementation of culturally-based thematic multimedia learning materials for first-grade elementary students in Indonesia. Given Indonesia’s rich cultural diversity, integrating local cultural elements into educational content is crucial for preserving heritage and fostering identity among young learners. The study employs a desktop research design, analyzing academic literature, educational reports, and existing multimedia content to assess best practices and challenges in implementing culturally responsive teaching materials. Findings indicate that culturally-based multimedia resources enhance student engagement, understanding, and retention of educational content. However, challenges such as technical limitations and ensuring cultural accuracy must be addressed. This study underscores the importance of collaborative efforts among educators, cultural experts, and multimedia designers, along with comprehensive teacher training, to optimize the effectiveness of these materials and enrich the learning experience for students.
