Abstract

After the Covid-19 pandemic passed, the entire system and culture of life, especially in the learning sector in schools, changed. Changes are not only in systems and learning modes that combine blended learning, but changes are also seen in students^ habits of using equipment to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The equipment in question includes the use of hand sanitizers, hand washing, and the use of masks. Currently, life in various sectors including education has entered the post-covid-19 endemic. Today^s challenge is how to ensure that every child in the school can consistently cultivate a caring attitude and be aware of being accustomed to a clean living culture, washing hands, using masks, and using hand sanitizers. Elementary school students, as a group that can be infected with the virus en masse, are given an integrated and systematic understanding of using information media.
One of the information media that students are familiar with is comics. Comics are media literacy combined between text and images that contain certain messages that allow messages to be received quickly so that messages are received effectively. Comics increase students^ reading interest, especially if comics are designed in digital form. This research develops and integrates digital comics (e-comic) for students which is loaded in the Android version. The use of comics media that is closer to students^ daily lives has become deeper in instilling concepts, understanding and positive habits in elementary school students to be able to live peacefully together with covid-19. The growing habit of students to consciously use masks, wash hands, maintain distance and other health protocols at school obtained through reading e-comic shows an increase in the level of life skills of students in the context of preventing the spread of COVID-19.
