Abstract

Naturalist intelligence refers to children’s ability to recognize, understand, and demonstrate concern for the natural environment around them. Initial observations at Integrated Islamic Kindergarten (TKIT) As-Sunnah Napabalano revealed that the naturalist intelligence of Group B children had not yet developed optimally. The children still experienced difficulties in recognizing plants, understanding plant growth processes, and showing concern for the environment. This study aimed to improve children’s naturalist intelligence through planting activities using hydroponic growing media at Integrated Islamic Kindergarten (TKIT) As-Sunnah Napabalano. This study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 11 Group B children, consisting of 5 boys and 6 girls. Data were collected through observation and documentation techniques. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis based on early childhood development categories. The findings indicated that planting activities using hydroponic growing media were effective in improving children’s naturalist intelligence. Teacher teaching activities increased from 73.33% in Cycle I to 93.33% in Cycle II. Children’s learning activities also improved from 71.42% to 92.86%. In addition, the results of children’s naturalist intelligence development increased from 72.73% in Cycle I to 90.91% in Cycle II. The children became more capable of recognizing plants, understanding plant growth processes, and demonstrating environmental awareness through direct plant-care activities. Therefore, planting activities using hydroponic growing media can be considered an effective learning strategy for improving early childhood naturalist intelligence.

Abstract

This community service program aims to evaluate the outcomes of ecoprint batik training  on students’ creativity, including conceptual understanding, application of ideas, and the ability to produce visual works based on natural materials. The evaluation employed conceptual understanding questionnaires, practical skill observation sheets, and ecoprint product assessment rubrics to measure participants’ knowledge, technical abilities, and creative outputs. The initiative responds to the growing need for creative, adaptive, and sustainability-oriented learning models in higher education. A one-day training was conducted on 21 April 2025 at Universitas Halu Oleo, involving 58 students from the Early Childhood Teacher Education Study Program. The implementation employed a structured approach comprising theoretical instruction, hands-on practice, and evaluation. The results of the program evaluation showed that 90% of participants demonstrated an understanding of basic creativity concepts, while 95% demonstrated an understanding of basic ecoprint concepts. All participants completed the ecoprint process, and 95% produced distinctive patterns through material selection, visual composition, and pigment transfer. Participants also demonstrated collaborative engagement and appreciation of local natural resources and environmentally responsible art practices. These findings indicate that the training supported immediate dimensions of creative capacity, particularly the application of ideas, experimentation with natural materials, and production of varied visual outcomes. In conclusion, ecoprint batik training serves as a relevant and sustainable model for fostering student creativity and appreciation of environmentally sustainable and culturally relevant art practices. Future programs should extend the duration, incorporate product development workshops, and involve community partners to broaden impact and ensure long-term continuity.
