Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of implementing the results of digital comic development in improving the information technology literacy skill of fourth grade elementary school students.

The research subject was fourth grade students at Kuranji State Elementary School, Cirebon City. Furthermore, the data collection technique was the media expert, linguist, material expert validation questionnaire, test techniques and student responses. Aiken's validity results show the lowest index results from media experts, language experts and material experts of 0.67 and the highest index is 1. Furthermore, the results show that the student test instrument variables are declared reliable based on Cronbach's Alpha reliability calculations that is 0.937 with very high criteria.
