Portraits of elementary schools in practicing integrated multiliteracy in learning: A phenomenological study

Abstract

In society 5.0, everyone is faced with multiliteracy. Ideally, this multiliteracy is learned from elementary school. However, information on the implementation of learning that trains multiliteracy has not been widely studied. This study aims to describe or photograph the implementation of multiliteracy learning carried out by teachers in elementary schools. This research is a phenomenological type of qualitative research. The participants of this study were elementary schoolteachers in Indonesia. Data were collected by interviewing teachers and observing multiliteracy learning in schools. Data analysis was carried out using the Bogdan and Biklen model with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing and verification. The results show that the teachers’ understanding of multiliteracy was not correct. The implementation of learning that leads to multiliteracy learning has not been carried out; it is still limited to reading and writing activities. 
 
 Keywords: Multiliterate learning, elementary school, phenomenology.

“…The other studies reviewed cover various aspects of the effects of digital tools and devices in the development of behaviors, metacognition, and the types of choices Internet users make (Nieto-Márquez, Baldominos & Pérez-Nieto, 2020;Kurniawati, Kartowagiran, Wuryandani, Retnawati, & Herwin 2022). This highlights the interest in intensively leveraging digital tools and media for general literacy among primary school students, including digital literacy.…”

Thus, time has shaped how digital devices are used by students and the research interests of theorists in the field.…”
