Abstract

This research was driven by the limited use of digital learning media in teaching rights and obligations, as well as the low critical thinking skills among 5th-grade elementary school students at SDN Bintara II. This study aims to develop digital educational media based on Smart Apps Creator (SAC), evaluate its feasibility and practicality, and measure its effectiveness in improving students' critical thinking skills on the topic of rights and obligations. This study adopted a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The trial involved 30 5th-grade students at SDN Bintara II. Data were collected through interviews, observations, expert validation questionnaires, teacher and student response surveys, and critical thinking tests. The results showed that the digital educational media based on Smart Apps Creator (SAC) is highly feasible, practical, and effective for classroom instruction. The average feasibility score from experts reached 97.50%, while the overall practicality score reached 93.67%. Furthermore, the media effectively improved students' critical thinking skills, yielding an N-Gain score of 0.30
