Globalization poses a significant threat to the preservation of Yogyakarta's cultural heritage, particularly among digital-native youth who tend to favor global culture over traditional practices. Conventional learning methods, such as lectures, textbooks, and static visual media, have proven insufficient in engaging students effectively. This study develops an Augmented Reality (AR) based multimedia flashcard to address this gap, employing the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) with a sample of 30 eighth-grade students from three junior high schools in Yogyakarta. The AR flashcards integrate 3D cultural objects, audio narration, quizzes, and immersive mobile interactions to enhance the learning experience. Results from pre-test and post-test assessments indicate a significant improvement in cultural understanding, with an average increase of 22.9 points. The greatest gains were observed in knowledge of the Keraton architecture, with an increase of 24.5 points, and comprehension of classical dance, with an increase of 25.2 points. User satisfaction, measured using the System Usability Scale (SUS), achieved an average score of 86.2, which is categorized as excellent usability. These findings confirm the effectiveness of AR flashcards in promoting cultural education and heritage preservation through technology, providing practical implications for educational practice and theoretical insights for strategies in digital cultural preservation. © 2025 IEEE.
