Key words: Simbola Genially Media Development, Civic Literacy, and Collaboration

This research aims to develop simbola genially interactive learning media to improve civic literacy and collaboration skills of grade II elementary school students. The background of the research is based on the low level of civic literacy and collaboration of students at SD Negeri 14 Gresik, as reflected in the results of observations and interviews with teachers and data on students' formative grades. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with validity, practicality, and effectiveness tests. The results of the validity test showed that the genially symbology media was very valid with a validator recapitulation value of 83.53% and high instrument reliability (Cronbach's Alpha 0.969 for the literacy test and 0.746 for the student response questionnaire). The practicality of the media was evidenced through the positive responses of students (95.30%) and teachers (93.4%), as well as an increase in the literacy category from moderate to high. The effectiveness of the media was shown through Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test with significance <0.01 and N-Gain mean of 0.8162 (very high category), and N-Gain per cent of 81.56%. The genially sympathetic media is proven to be effective in improving the understanding of civic literacy and collaboration skills of grade II primary school students. This media is also relevant to the characteristics of child development at the concrete operational stage (Piaget) and the zone of proximal development (Vygotsky). Thus, genially symbols can be an innovative solution to improve the quality of civic learning in primary schools.
