Abstract


This article analyzes interactive Javanese script applications as a bridge between digital literacy and local cultural preservation for elementary school students through the lens of Edward L. Thorndike’s Connectionism theory. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this systematic literature review synthesized 11 core articles published between 2020 and 2026. Findings reveal that traditional Javanese script learning faces low student engagement due to rote-based methods and limited interactive media. Digital tools such as Android apps and augmented reality (AR) significantly enhance engagement by providing visual-audio stimuli and instant feedback. The discussion highlights how Connectionism principles specifically stimulus-response, the law of readiness, the law of exercise, and the law of effect explain the efficacy of these digital environments. Ultimately, these applications serve as an integrative learning space, harmonizing digital competency with cultural identity.
