Abstract

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of low social skills in group A children, which includes aspects of cooperation, interaction between individuals, and independence during learning activities. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the use of block media with the integration of growth mindset in improving social skills. Using the quantitative method of experimental design, this research involved group A participants as intervention subjects. Data were collected through structured observation techniques using social behavior assessment instruments, where the results were analyzed by comparing conditions before and after the action was given. The findings show a significant positive transformation in all indicators. The most notable increase was seen in the aspect of independence which reached the category of developing very well at 60%, followed by aspects of social interaction (53.3%) and cooperation (33.3%). Overall, these results confirm that the growth mindset-based block game strategy is very effective in optimizing early childhood social development, as well as being a reference for the application of more varied learning methods. This study contributes to the development of innovative play-based learning methods to support early childhood social development.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of developing religious values and moral behavior in early childhood as a foundation for character formation. One strategy that can be used to instill these values is Islamic stories combined with a growth mindset approach. This study aims to determine the improvement of religious values and moral character in early childhood through a growth mindset-based Islamic story strategy. The study used a mixed methods approach with an explanatory sequential design. The research subjects were 10 children aged 5–6 years. Quantitative data were obtained through observations using religious values and moral character assessment sheets given before (pretest) and after treatment (posttest), while qualitative data were obtained through observations during the learning process and documentation of children's activities. Quantitative data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test method, while qualitative data were analyzed descriptively to clarify the results of the quantitative data analysis. The study showed that the average value of religion and moral character of children increased from 13 in the initial trial to 21.9 in the final trial. The results of the Wilcoxon Test showed that all children experienced an increase in scores after treatment. Qualitative findings indicate that children are more enthusiastic about participating in learning activities, are able to identify good behaviors through Islamic stories, are active in coloring and discussion activities, and are able to practice religious values and morals through role-playing activities. Combining the results of quantitative and qualitative research indicates that a growth mindset-based Islamic story strategy is quite effective in improving religious values and moral attitudes in early childhood. This is achieved through learning experiences that are meaningful, enjoyable, and developmentally appropriate.
