Abstract

Teachers' information and communication technology (ICT) competency is a crucial factor in supporting innovative learning processes in early childhood education. However, some teachers still experience difficulties utilizing technology in their learning activities. This situation necessitates the need for effective education and training (diklat) management strategies to improve teachers' ICT competency. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study conducted at Pembina 2 Kindergarten in Medan. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive analysis model encompassing data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the training implementation contributed to improving teachers' understanding of the use of technology in learning. However, the training implementation still faced obstacles such as differences in technology proficiency among teachers and limited opportunities to participate in training. To address these challenges, the school implemented a strategy of knowledge sharing and mentoring among teachers in the use of learning technology. A planned and sustainable training management strategy can improve teachers' ICT competency and support a more effective and innovative learning process.

Abstract

Cognitive development in early childhood, especially 5 years of age, is an important foundation in forming logical and symbolic thinking skills. Although some children are able to recognize and name various types of plants in their environment, there is still variation in understanding the physical characteristics of plants and their habitats. This study aims to describe the cognitive abilities of 5-year-old children in identifying plant types, recognizing where they grow, and understanding the physical characteristics of plants through a checklist-based assessment approach. The study used a descriptive quantitative method with seven children from five kindergartens in Medan City as subjects. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, and documentation of children's activities during the learning process. The results of the study showed that most children, namely 85.71%, were in the "Very Well Developed" category. Children were able to group plants based on their type and where they grow, and recognize plant parts such as roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. These findings indicate that the use of checklist-based observation assessment instruments is effective in mapping children's cognitive development more objectively and contextually. This study contributes to the development of early childhood education learning strategies that are more appropriate to children's developmental stages and based on real experiences.
