Perencanaan Media Interpretasi Sejarah Berbasis Animasi untuk Siswa Sekolah Dasar di Monumen Nasional

Abstract

Monumen Nasional merupakan destinasi wisata sejarah nasional yang menyediakan Museum Sejarah Nasional sebagai ruang interpretasi utama, namun media interpretasi non-personal berupa panel teks diorama belum sepenuhnya memenuhi kebutuhan kognitif pengunjung anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi kondisi eksisting media interpretasi non-personal, menganalisis persepsi dan preferensi siswa sekolah dasar, serta menyusun perencanaan media interpretasi berbasis animasi. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Museum Sejarah Nasional Monumen Nasional pada Januari hingga April 2026 dengan pendekatan mixed method. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner kepada 370 responden siswa sekolah dasar dengan teknik purposive sampling, serta observasi dan studi literatur sebagai data pendukung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan persepsi siswa terhadap media interpretasi eksisting berada pada kategori baik dengan indeks 60,74%, sedangkan preferensi siswa terhadap media interpretasi berbasis animasi menunjukkan dukungan yang tinggi dengan indeks 80,1%. Prioritas pengembangan meliputi peningkatan aspek thematic dan relevant pada penyampaian pesan sejarah. Penelitian ini menghasilkan rancangan media interpretasi berbasis animasi live action hybrid 2D dengan karakter edukatif bernama Laras, dilengkapi storyboard, narasi audio, dan alur cerita yang disusun menggunakan pendekatan Design thinking.

The National Monument (Monas) is a national historical tourism destination that provides the National History Museum as its main interpretation space, yet the existing non-personal interpretation media in the form of diorama text panels have not fully met the cognitive needs of child visitors. This study aims to identify the existing condition of non-personal interpretation media, analyze elementary school students' perceptions and preferences, and develop a plan for animation-based interpretation media. The research was conducted at the National History Museum, National Monument, in January – April 2026 using a mixed-methods approach. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 370 elementary school student respondents using purposive sampling, supported by observation and a literature review. The results indicate that students' perception of the existing interpretation media falls into the good category with an index of 60.74%, while students' preference for animation-based interpretation media shows strong support with an index of 80.1%. Development priorities include strengthening the thematic and relevant aspects of historical message delivery. This study produced a design plan for animation-based interpretation media in the form of a 2D live-action hybrid animation, featuring an educational character named Laras, complete with a storyboard, audio narration, and a storyline developed using the Design Thinking approach.
