Abstract

This study aims to develop and test the feasibility of the “Colorful Science Kit” as a colorful-based learning media to improve early childhood science literacy. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects consisted of 20 children aged 5–6 years at an early childhood education institution. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, documentation, and expert validation using a Likert scale instrument. The validation results showed that the media obtained a very feasible category with an average percentage of 91%. The implementation of the media showed an increase in children’s scientific literacy skills, especially in the skills of observing, grouping, predicting, and communicating the results of simple experiments. Children showed high enthusiasm during the color exploration activities and were able to work actively together in small groups. The use of color-based media also helped improve children’s attention, creativity, and communication skills during the learning process. The results of the study showed that the “Colorful Science Kit” was effectively used as an interactive and fun science learning media in early childhood education. This media is recommended as a contextual learning innovation to support the development of scientific literacy in early childhood education (PAUD).

Abstract

This study aims to develop and determine the effectiveness of the "Rainbow Learning Box" learning media in fostering scientific literacy in early childhood. This media is designed as a simple, experiment-based science learning tool using colorful colors to help children understand the concepts of color, color mixing, and simple changes through play-and-learning activities. The study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The study subjects consisted of 20 children aged 5–6 years at a pre-school (PAUD) institution. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, documentation, and child development assessment sheets. The results showed that the use of the "Rainbow Learning Box" increased children's engagement in learning, curiosity, observation skills, and simple communication skills related to experimental results. Children appeared more active and enthusiastic during learning activities because the media was engaging, interactive, and suited to the learning characteristics of early childhood. Furthermore, teachers responded positively to the media's use, citing its ease of use, safety, and affordability. Therefore, the "Rainbow Learning Box" can be an alternative, innovative science learning media to optimally support the development of scientific literacy in early childhood.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of science learning based on experiments using natural and artificial dyes in improving early childhood color recognition skills and science process skills. Early Childhood Education (ECE) requires learning activities that are concrete, enjoyable, and based on direct experiences so that children can actively understand concepts through exploration. Color-mixing activities were chosen because they can stimulate curiosity, creativity, observation skills, and children’s communication abilities. The study employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The subjects consisted of 20 children aged 5–6 years in an ECE institution. The experiment was conducted over four meetings under the theme “Me and Colors,” using natural dyes such as turmeric, pandan leaves, butterfly pea flowers, and dragon fruit, as well as safe artificial dyes for children. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and child development assessment sheets. The results showed an improvement in children’s color recognition skills from the “Beginning to Develop” category (55%) in the pretest to “Developing as Expected” and “Very Well Developed” (80%) in the posttest. Science process skills, creativity, fine motor skills, and socio-emotional development also improved through experimental and group activities. This learning approach proved effective in creating active, interactive, and enjoyable learning experiences in early childhood education.

Abstract

Science learning in early childhood education plays an important role in developing children's critical thinking, creativity, and exploration skills through direct experiences. This study aims to describe the implementation of the theme “Rainbow Science Learning of the Indonesian Archipelago for Early Childhood Using Natural Dyes from Local Materials” to enhance children's science process skills, creativity, and appreciation of the environment and local culture. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed involving 20 children aged 5–6 years in an Early Childhood Education (ECE) institution. Learning activities were carried out through color-mixing experiments using local natural materials such as turmeric, butterfly pea flowers, pandan leaves, and dragon fruit. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and child development assessments, then analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that natural dyes from local materials effectively increased children's active participation in science learning. Children enthusiastically explored colors, observed changes, tested color combinations, and communicated their findings. Experiment-based activities improved science process skills, including observing, classifying, predicting, and drawing conclusions. Furthermore, the use of local natural resources provided contextual, safe, economical, and environmentally friendly learning experiences while introducing children to Indonesia’s cultural heritage and fostering environmental awareness and appreciation of local culture
