This study aims to identify and understand the root causes of low student learning outcomes in writing descriptive texts in grade IV of elementary school. Based on the results of field observations, it was found that the majority of students scored below the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) in both cognitive and psychomotor aspects.

Other factors are low interest in reading and limited student vocabulary. This study recommends that learning be carried out with a more communicative, applicable, and meaningful approach according to the characteristics of students in elementary schools.

This research aims to develop a pop-up book-based learning media to introduce local wisdom of Indonesian culture to the younger generation. Local wisdom, as an inheritance of knowledge and values from our ancestors, is a national identity that is increasingly poorly understood by the current generation. Therefore, an interesting, creative, and interactive learning media innovation is needed. Pop-up books were chosen because of their ability to present material visually, lively, and allow students to interact directly with the learning content.

The process starts from needs analysis, book design development, prototyping, to trials for grade XI students of SMK. The research instruments included validation questionnaires from material experts, media experts, teacher and student responses, and material comprehension tests. The validation results showed scores of 82.8% (material experts), 78.3% (media experts), and 75.5% (potential user responses), which overall fell into the very feasible category. The findings of the study show that pop-up book media is effective in increasing students' understanding of local wisdom in the context of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. In addition, this research contributes to the preservation of local culture through educational media innovation. This pop-up book media is expected to be an interesting, interactive, and relevant learning solution for students in understanding the diversity of Indonesian culture.
