Abstract

Early childhood literacy development is a crucial foundation for children’s future academic achievement and communication skills, yet literacy learning in many early childhood institutions remains conventional and less engaging for young learners. This study aimed to improve children’s literacy skills through the use of wayang media at TK Assalam Martapura. The research employed a collaborative Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles involving 15 children in Group A. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and assessment of teacher activities, student participation, and literacy outcomes covering listening, speaking, letter recognition, and early writing skills. The findings revealed significant improvement in children’s literacy development after the implementation of wayang-based learning activities. In the pre-intervention stage, 66.7% of children were categorized as “Not Yet Developed,” while by the end of Cycle II, 66.7% reached the “Very Well Developed” category and 33.3% achieved “Developing as Expected,” resulting in 100% classical completeness. The study concludes that wayang media effectively enhances children’s literacy skills by creating interactive, culturally relevant, and enjoyable learning experiences. This research contributes to the development of innovative early childhood literacy instruction by integrating local cultural heritage into meaningful educational practices that support children’s language, creativity, and active participation.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of developing early childhood cognitive abilities through engaging and meaningful learning experiences. The aim of this study is to enhance children's cognitive skills through science-based hydroponic planting projects at Handayani Kindergarten, Awang Bangkal Barat Village. The method used is Research and Development (R&D), consisting of the stages of design, validation, revision, and limited implementation. The research subjects are children aged 5–6 years. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and questionnaires, while data analysis employs both quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results show that the developed hydroponic learning media received a feasibility score of 100% from material and media experts, categorized as highly feasible, and a practicality score of 85% from teachers, categorized as very good. Furthermore, the use of this media is able to improve children's cognitive abilities, particularly in observation, logical thinking, and drawing simple conclusions. Therefore, science learning based on hydroponic planting projects is effective in enhancing the cognitive abilities of early childhood learners

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to improve fine motor skills in children aged 5–6 years old in Group B TK ABA Rahmaniah Banjarbaru through a series of structured handicraft activities. The research was motivated by the observation that most children exhibited underdeveloped fine motor skills, which are essential for daily functioning and school readiness. The intervention consisted of two cycles, each with three sessions, where children created pencil holders from recycled plastic bottles, engaging in cutting, gluing, coloring, and decorating. Data were collected through observation checklists, documentation, and descriptive analysis. The results revealed a significant improvement: children in the "Very Well Developed" category increased from 0% at baseline to 85.7% after the second cycle. The findings confirm that creative handicraft activities provide an effective, enjoyable, and sustainable approach to developing fine motor skills in early childhood. Recommendations are offered for teachers, schools, parents, and future researchers.

Abstract

Early childhood education is recognized globally as the most critical period for optimizing holistic child development cognitive, social-emotional, language, and moral. This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of inclusive education at TK Aisyiyah Ranting V Martapura, focusing on planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning for children with special needs (CWD). The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis employed the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of four stages data reduction, data coding, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that inclusive education planning has been carried out over the past two years but remains limited to administrative aspects, lacking adequate support in the form of Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Implementation is conducted through collaborative and individual approaches, however, limited facilities and human resources present significant challenges. Evaluation is carried out informally through teacher observations and communication with parents, without standardized formal instruments. The analysis indicates that the success of inclusive education is strongly influenced by teacher commitment, flexibility in teaching approaches, and parental involvement. However, program sustainability requires stronger policy support, specialized training, and collaboration with external experts.

Abstract

Early childhood education (ECE) forms a vital foundation for children’s cognitive, linguistic, emotional, and social development. This study aims to develop and evaluate Flipbook Art as a digital learning media to enhance early reading skills among children aged 5–6 years at RA Al-Mushallun, Kecamatan Alalak. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the Four-D (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) model, the research produced an interactive flipbook tailored for early learners. Validation was conducted by material and media experts as well as classroom teachers, followed by small and large-scale trials involving 100 children. Results indicate that Flipbook Art is highly feasible (validated at >80% by all validators) and effective in improving children’s ability to recognize letters, decode sounds, comprehend words, and develop reading fluency. The integration of visual design, interactive features, and curriculum alignment proved vital in fostering literacy engagement. The study recommends Flipbook Art as an innovative, accessible solution for addressing early reading challenges and supporting teachers in early childhood education settings.
