The development of information and communication technology has significantly transformed the field of education. Teachers no longer depend only on lectures to deliver learning materials but also use various learning media to improve the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. One of the most widely used innovations is interactive learning media, which combines text, images, audio, video, and other interactive features to support student learning. Interactive learning media can create a more engaging and enjoyable learning environment. Through this media, students actively participate in learning activities rather than simply receiving information passively. As a result, their attention, motivation, and understanding of the learning materials can improve. However, low student learning outcomes remain a challenge in education. Limited student involvement in the learning process often affects their ability to understand lessons and achieve learning objectives. Previous studies have indicated that interactive learning media can enhance both the quality of learning and student achievement. Therefore, examining the influence of interactive learning media on student learning outcomes is important to support the development of more effective, innovative, and technology-based learning processes in the digital era.

Breast cancer is a serious health problem among women, with incidence and mortality rates that continue to rise. The disease is often detected at an advanced stage due to low levels of awareness, knowledge, and skills related to early detection. Among adolescent girls, particularly high school students, knowledge and skills regarding Breast Self-Examination (BSE) remain limited. This is largely due to restricted access to health information, a lack of targeted educational initiatives, and learning methods that are insufficiently engaging. BSE is a simple and effective early detection method that can be performed independently beginning in adolescence. Video-based education is considered an effective tool for enhancing adolescents’ understanding. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of video-based education in improving knowledge and BSE skills among Grade XI female students at MAN (State Islamic Senior High School) 2 Yogyakarta. This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The study population consisted of all Grade XI female students at MAN 2 Yogyakarta, with a sample of 59 students selected through purposive sampling on predetermined inclusion criteria. The intervention involved a single session of a BSE educational video lasting approximately seven minutes. It was conducted in 15 groups, with each group accompanied by one facilitator. Data were analyzed using the nonparametric Wilcoxon statistical test. The Wilcoxon test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) for both knowledge and skills variables, indicating a statistically significant improvement between the pre-test and post-test scores. In conclusion, video-based education was proven effective in improving knowledge and BSE skills among Grade XI female students at MAN 2 Yogyakarta. Future researchers are encouraged to assess BSE skills using a structured checklist based on standardized evaluation criteria.  

This project is motivated by the increasing rate of deforestation in Indonesia, which has led to ecosystem degradation and the threat of extinction for endemic species, as well as the relatively low environmental awareness among young people due to the abstract and systematic presentation of data. The main objective of this work is to produce a 5-minute 2D animation that effectively raises awareness among adolescents aged 14–24 about the threat of environmental extinction caused by deforestation in Indonesia. This is achieved through a three-act narrative approach using a first-person perspective of the Javan surili, positioned as a narrative “lens” and a representation of a victim of a damaged ecosystem, allowing abstract issues to be understood in a more personal, emotional, and empathetic way. The method includes pre-production (research, concept development, and scriptwriting), production (development of dialogue, monologue, and visual direction based on a three-act structure), and post-production (narrative evaluation and script refinement). The result is an educational animation script titled “Jaga Alam, Cegah Kepunahan,” which integrates scientific data, visual storytelling techniques, and multimedia learning principles to deliver messages in an informative and emotional manner. The three-act structure successfully constructs a systematic storyline from introduction, conflict, to resolution with a call to action. The conclusion shows that 2D animation with a personal narrative approach is effective in transforming environmental issues into accessible messages, increasing empathy, and encouraging audience awareness and participation in environmental conservation.
