Introduction: javanese script is a traditional writing system with a rich history and philosophy, and it is one of the most endangered forms of cultural heritage. This study aims to determine the effect of understanding the concept of the Javanese script on the literacy skills of students interested in Android-based learning media. Methods: this study uses a mixed-methods approach with quantitative and qualitative analysis stages. A sample of 286 students was selected using purposive random sampling. Quantitative data were obtained by administering student questionnaires, while qualitative data were obtained through observation, interviews and documentation. Quantitative data were analysed using SEM-PLS. Qualitative data analysis was conducted using triangulation of data and sources. Results: the results of the path coefficient calculation show an effect of 0.341, with a t-count of 6.646, and a p-value of 0.000. Understanding the concept of Javanese script influences interest in Android-based media. The path coefficient obtained from the calculation was 0.486, with a t-count of 8.250, and a p-value of 0.000. The results show the influence of children's literacy skills on interest in Android-based media. Conclusions: javaScript learning media based on Android can increase interest in and understanding of the concept of JavaScript. Further research is recommended, with a wider and more diverse sample of participants from different schools and backgrounds, to make the results more generalisable.
