Abstract This study was inspired by elementary school kids' low value for national ideology and the necessity to overcome it. It was vital to know the scientific influence of using culture-based electronic storybooks on the value of national ideology among elementary school students, so this attempt was made by creating such storybooks for elementary school students. This study used a control group and a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest approach. Up to 200 fifth-grade elementary school students who were split into control and experimental classes were the participants. Questionnaires were utilized as data-gathering instruments. To analyze the data, SPSS was used to help with the normality test, homogeneity test, homogeneity test of the variance-covariance matrix/Box-M, and Multicollinearity Test. According to the findings, they were using culture-based electronic storybooks that positively impacted elevating national ideology. The findings of this study have implications for efforts to elevate national ideology among primary school children. Keywords: Storybook, Electronic, İdeology, Nationality INTRODUCTION National ideological values are those a nation maintains and embraces to foster and reinforce national identity and unity in society (Kulin et al., 2021). The principles of national ideology represent a common understanding of the goals, norms, and aspirations that the community has for achieving glory and prosperity for all (Halder et al., 2020). As a result, all citizens, especially those in elementary school, must be taught the principles of national ideology at a young age. It is wise to encourage pupils in primary school to value national ideology. This statement allows youngsters to develop their character and fundamental life values throughout this stage. Through this process, students learn to comprehend and absorb the values that form the foundation of life in society, the nation, and the state. Students are intended to create a strong sense of love and love for their country by forming national ideological principles (Setyono & Widodo, 2019). Developing ideological principles can foster a sense of pride in the country's national identity (Asif et al., 2020). This development is crucial for primary school pupils to foster a sense of belonging and unity amid society's variety. Students can learn and practice good moral and ethical principles with the aid of developing national ideological values. The students will be taught the values of honesty, justice, respect, unity, and appreciation of others.
