Promoting Nationalism among Young Learners Using Localized Video E-Book

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a localized video e-book in promoting nationalism among young learners in Pulilan. Addressing the challenge of fostering national pride and cultural understanding in young learners, the research applied a mixed-method approach with exploratory sequential design. Qualitative data came from classroom observations, and teacher interviews, while quantitative data were gathered through the checklist, likert scale, technological acceptance mode (TAM), and system usability scale (SUS). Results revealed that there’s a strong acceptance from the teachers, excellent usability, ratings and notable improvement in students’ comprehension and retention of Pulilan’s local symbols, landmarks, and cultural narratives. The study concludes that integrating localized multimedia resources in early childhood education enhances both cognitive and affective dimensions of nationalism. These findings have recommendations for curriculum development, teacher training, and developing an application to integrate technology inside the classroom smoothly and effectively, offering a valuable contribution to civic education in the digital era.
