Abstract

The development of early childhood independence requires active parental involvement supported by structured and practical guidance that can be applied in everyday home environments. This study aims to develop a parent-oriented module to optimize early childhood independence and to examine its feasibility and effectiveness in improving parents’ understanding. This research employed a Research and Development approach involving stages of needs analysis, product design, development, validation, and field testing. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, observations, and pre-test and post-test assessments. The results of the needs analysis indicate that parents require practical and structured guidance to support children’s independence at home. The developed module was validated by experts and categorized as valid with minor revisions. User responses in both small- and large-scale trials show that the module is highly acceptable and feasible for independent use by parents. Furthermore, the effectiveness test reveals a significant improvement in parents’ understanding, as indicated by an increase in the mean score from 52.00 in the pre-test to 80.75 in the post-test, supported by statistical analysis showing a significant difference (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the module is effective as a practical learning resource that enhances parental involvement and supports the development of early childhood independence.

Abstract

The development of oral expression skills in early childhood requires engaging and developmentally appropriate learning media that can stimulate children’s ability to communicate ideas, thoughts, and experiences effectively. This study aims to develop animated series-based learning media to stimulate the oral expression skills of children aged 5–6 years and to examine its feasibility and effectiveness. This research employed a Research and Development approach using the 4D model, including define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. Data were collected through needs analysis, expert validation, observation, questionnaires, and field trials. The results of the needs analysis indicate that teachers require innovative and interactive media to support children’s language development, particularly in oral expression. The developed media was validated by experts and categorized as valid with minor revisions. User responses in both small- and large-scale trials show that the media is highly feasible and effective in classroom implementation. Furthermore, the effectiveness test reveals an improvement in children’s oral expression skills, including increased speaking confidence, ability to retell stories sequentially, use of varied vocabulary, and clearer articulation. These findings indicate that animated series-based learning media is effective as an innovative learning tool that enhances children’s oral expression skills and supports language development in early childhood education.

Abstract

Instilling an interest in entrepreneurship from an early age is very important for shaping a strong, innovative, and independent character in children, given that this increasingly competitive era demands the development of soft skills and entrepreneurial character. Until now, entrepreneurial learning practices in early childhood education have tended to focus on basic academic aspects without concrete contextual experiences in optimally fostering an interest in entrepreneurship. This study aims to examine the effect of role-playing on increasing entrepreneurial interest in early childhood through a role-playing approach and group business simulation. The method used was a quasi-experiment with a sample of all 20 students in group B at Al Izhar Kindergarten in Makassar. Data were collected using observation and a Likert scale to measure the variables of entrepreneurial interest, which included confidence, communication, and negotiation. The results showed that the use of role-playing media significantly increased entrepreneurial interest in early childhood by developing children's creativity, confidence, communication, and negotiation skills. These findings confirm that play media, particularly through role-playing and business simulation, is an effective strategy in instilling the basics of entrepreneurship from an early age and supporting the development of children's character and competencies.
