This study aims to develop innovative web-based digital eco-literacy project learning models for elementary school students as a renewal of existing learning models. The developed model must meet the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Project-based learning was chosen because it encourages active engagement and is supported by digital applications, enhancing students' understanding of ecology, literacy, and environmental awareness. Eco-literacy is essential in elementary education because it fosters environmental responsibility from an early age. The development process includes model books, teaching modules, student worksheets, learning outcome tests, model implementation, and student responses. The Borg & Gall research method was used to ensure a systematic approach to model development. The study results indicate that the web-based digital eco-literacy project learning model meets the criteria for effectiveness, achieving a 94.8% success rate in student learning outcomes. This is because the web platform provides easy access for students to explore, understand, and apply eco-literacy concepts through hands-on projects. Furthermore, the model enhances students’ awareness of environmental literacy and ecological principles, reinforcing their role in sustainable environmental practices. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
