The lack of student engagement and difficulty in visualizing abstract concepts are notable challenges in education. Audio-visual learning media emerges as an optimal solution, enhancing student involvement through engaging methods and facilitating the understanding of concepts via effective visualization. Therefore, this research aims to understand how interactive audio-visual learning media can improve environmental literacy in science and technology, as well as to identify its impact on enhancing student learning outcomes. This study employs a quantitative method to explore educational phenomena at Public Elementary Schools in the Rappocini Subdistrict, Makassar City, in 2019. The research population consists of 59 fourth-grade students. For sample selection, the researcher used purposive sampling technique. Data analysis in this study was conducted using descriptive and differential statistical analysis techniques. The findings reveal that the use of interactive audio-visual media significantly enhances environmental and science and technology literacy among fourth-grade students. The experimental group, which utilized audio-visual media, showed a more notable improvement compared to the control group. Hence, the integration of audio-visual technology in education is crucial to enrich learning experiences and enhance the understanding of scientific concepts and environmental awareness among young learners.
