21st-century science learning requires the development of critical thinking skills; however, students' mastery of these skills remains relatively low, making innovations such as Electronic Student Worksheet necessary. The integration of ethnoscience into Student Worksheet makes learning more relevant to local wisdom while supporting the development of 21st-century skills. This study analyzed articles discussing the role of ethnoscience-based Student Worksheet in strengthening 21st-century skills in science learning through five research questions. The study employed the PRISMA method using data from Google Scholar and Scopus, resulting in 32 articles published between 2020 and 2025. The articles were reviewed based on research trends, topic distribution, measurable outcomes, and implementation. The findings showed a marked increase in publications, peaking at 11 publications in 2025, accompanied by international collaboration that expanded citations and research impact. Research and Development was the dominant research design. Critical thinking skills were the most frequently studied outcome in 17 studies, followed by scientific literacy in 8 studies, while motivation, collaboration, and problem-solving skills were still rarely explored. Ethnoscience frequently incorporated local wisdom, such as traditional games, cultural practices, and food processing, which enhanced conceptual understanding, learning engagement, and 21st-century skills. Overall, ethnoscience-based Student Worksheet makes science learning more contextual and meaningful.

Reading literacy among Indonesian elementary school students remains relatively low, as reflected in Indonesia’s PISA 2022 reading score of 359, which is considerably below the OECD average. This condition underscores the urgent need for innovative, technology-based learning media, including interactive digital comics. Despite the increasing number of studies on digital learning media, systematic evidence specifically addressing interactive digital comics in Indonesian language learning for lower-grade elementary students remains limited. This study aimed to identify research trends, examine learning effectiveness, and map the strengths, limitations, and research gaps related to interactive digital comics published between 2020 and 2025. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA 2020 framework. Literature was collected from Google Scholar, Scopus, and ERIC databases. From 800 identified articles, 30 studies met the inclusion criteria after screening, eligibility assessment, and quality evaluation using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Data were analyzed through thematic and narrative synthesis, supported by bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer. The findings revealed a significant increase in studies on interactive digital comics after 2021, particularly on Android- and web-based platforms integrated with multimedia features. Most studies reported positive effects on reading comprehension, vocabulary mastery, learning motivation, and student engagement. However, research gaps remain in longitudinal studies, large-scale experiments, local cultural integration, and the assessment of affective learning. Interactive digital comics demonstrate strong potential as multimodal learning media for elementary language education.
