Abstract

This study explores the integration of AI-assisted online data collection and mixed-methods secondary data analysis to investigate how digital learning can connect children in Kampung Kobuni to the world’s animals, cultures, and heritage. Primary quantitative and qualitative data were gathered online, leveraging AI tools for efficient collection, categorization, and sentiment analysis of participants’ responses. Complementing this, a Mixed-Methods Secondary Data Analysis approach examined existing statistical reports, case studies, and qualitative narratives on cultural education and digital learning. The findings aim to reveal how locally grounded yet globally connected educational strategies can foster cultural awareness, biodiversity appreciation, and digital literacy among rural learners, ultimately bridging the gap between local realities and global knowledge.
