APPLICATION OF DIGITAL ENCYCLOPEDIA IN CIVICS EDUCATION: BALI NATIONAL MUSEUMPEDIA

Abstract

This study aims to develop an advanced, technology-based learning medium through Bali National Museumpedia, an interactive digital encyclopedia presented in the form of a flipbook. The flipbook integrates historical and national values from various museums in Bali into an engaging and accessible format. Adopting the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), the research identifies students' needs for learning media that are more visual, contextual, and easy to access. Initial findings show that 90% of students enjoy using digital media and 98% express interest in visiting museums; however, few have done so due to physical and geographical constraints. These findings emphasize the urgency of digitizing culturally rich educational content to enhance character and citizenship education. The Museumpedia flipbook offers a concrete solution by combining multimedia elements, interactive quizzes, and mobile-friendly access, making learning more adaptive and enjoyable in 21st-century classrooms.
