DEVELOPING AN ANDROID APPLICATION BILINGUAL FOLKLORE OF PROBOLINGO REGENCY

Abstract

In today’s world, despite advancements in technology providing widespread access to information, folklore faces endangerment due to urbanization and modernization. Younger generations are increasingly forgetting or disregarding folktales. Preliminary research indicated that an Android application could be an effective tool to introduce and preserve Probolinggo’s folklore. This research utilized the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) for product development. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires, with feedback from the Head of the Culture Department and the public. The study successfully developed a bilingual folklore application, which received a positive average score of 4.25 out of 5. The application is now ready for public use and can be utilized by the Department of Education and Culture of Probolinggo Regency (Dikdaya) to digitally promote local tourism.
