ENHANCING LITERARY APPRECIATION THROUGH CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE DIGITAL LEARNING: INTEGRATING 3D FLIPBOOK MEDIA IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate a literary appreciation learning model integrating Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) with 3D Flipbook media. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the study involved needs analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The results indicate that the model is highly valid, as evidenced by expert validation scores exceeding established criteria, and significantly more effective than conventional methods in enhancing students’ literary appreciation. Students also demonstrated highly positive responses, particularly in terms of engagement, cultural relevance, and learning motivation. The integration of culturally responsive pedagogy with interactive digital media fosters deeper understanding and meaningful engagement with literary texts. These findings suggest that the model provides a valid, practical, and effective instructional innovation for higher education, contributing to the advancement of culturally responsive and technology enhanced learning.
