Abstract

The rapid integration of digital technology in early childhood education highlights the need for learning media that are not only cognitively effective but also emotionally engaging. The Sekolah Enuma literacy application represents an innovative digital tool whose effectiveness should be examined from both User Experience (UX) and children’s affective responses. This study aims to analyze the quality of UX and the affective responses of young children when interacting with literacy features, as well as to explore the relationship between these aspects in supporting learning outcomes. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and facilitators serving, and documentation. Data analysis followed the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the application demonstrates good UX quality, characterized by ease of use, intuitive navigation, and visually engaging design. Most children exhibited positive affective responses such as enjoyment and enthusiasm, although some experienced confusion when encountering more complex instructions. The results reveal a strong relationship between UX quality and affective responses, which significantly influences children’s learning engagement. In conclusion, well-designed UX contributes substantially to positive emotional experiences and enhances the effectiveness of early literacy learning. Future research is recommended to adopt mixed-method approaches and longitudinal designs to provide more comprehensive insights.

Abstract

This study explores audio-visual media's development process and effectiveness in improving memory retention among early childhood learners. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the Borg and Gall model (2003), the research followed ten stages, including preliminary studies, planning, product development, implementation, and evaluation. The media developed consisted of educational animated videos presenting letters and numbers through visual elements, audio, and interactive activities tailored to the learning characteristics of young children. The validation results showed a feasibility score of 97.14%, categorized as very high. The trial was conducted at RA Darussalam and involved both teachers and students. Observations and interviews revealed that the children were enthusiastic, focused, and actively engaged in learning. They could answer questions and recall information effectively after using the media. Teachers noted that the press enhanced student participation and engagement in classroom activities. The audio-visual media created an enjoyable learning atmosphere and stimulated children's cognitive and social abilities. It also helped reduce learning fatigue and increased students' interest in the subject. Based on these findings, the media is considered adequate for early childhood education, particularly in strengthening memory retention and understanding of basic concepts.
