As time goes by, interest in learning
Javanese culture is decreasing. One of Java's icons is the Javanese script,
which is a form of communication through writing. However, today's children
find it difficult to write Javanese script correctly. Therefore, this study
aims to develop a web-based game learning media “DHEBARAJA” for learning to
write in Javanese script material for grade 5 students of techical
implementation unit state elementary school 199 Gresik. This study also seeks
to determine the feasibility of this learning media. This type of research uses
the research and development (R&D) method according to Dick and Carrey
which is composed of 10 stages, but in this study only carried out 7 stages.
The researcher only carried out 7 stages because this research uses a level 1
research method. This means that this research aims to produce a product design
and test its validation on a limited basis. These stages are (1) Identify
Learning Objectives, (2) Conducting Learning Analysis, (3) Identity Behaviors
Characteristics, (4) Formulate Learning Objectives, (5) Develop Criterion
Reference Test, (6) Develop and Select Instructional Materials, (7) Design and
Conduct Evaluation. The “DHEBARAJA” learning media was validated by material
experts, namely lecturers of Javanese Language and Literature Education, UNESA,
media experts, namely lecturers of Fine Arts Education, UNESA, and learning
experts, namely Javanese Language teachers at SMP Negeri 40 Surabaya who are
pursuing Masters education. The research instrument was a questionnaire with a

with 12 tanggapandents. This research resulted in a web-based learning media
product, "“DHEBARAJA”," accessible through the link https://schienetren.com/”DHEBARAJA”/.
The results of this study indicate that the “DHEBARAJA” learning media is
suitable for use in Javanese script learning for fifth-grade students. The
material validation results showed a percentage of 88%, categorized as
"Very Suitable," while the media validation results showed a
percentage of 90,6%, categorized as "Very Suitable," and the learning
validation results showed a percentage of 92.9%, categorized as "Very
Suitable."
