Abstract

This research aims to enhance children's cognitive abilities through the implementation of the Quizizz game. Cognitive ability is a crucial developmental aspect that must be stimulated from an early age. At this stage, appropriate stimulation is essential to assist children in developing these skills. One effective method for stimulating early childhood cognitive development is game-based learning, such as Quizizz. This study employed the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, following the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which was conducted in two cycles. The subjects of this research consisted of 14 children. Data collection techniques included observation, cognitive tests, and documentation. The results indicated a significant improvement in children's cognitive abilities from the pre-cycle to Cycle II. In the pre-cycle, classical mastery reached 52.98%. This increased to 62.50% in Cycle I and reached 88.84% in Cycle II. Consequently, the application of the Quizizz game is proven effective in enhancing early childhood cognitive abilities in a fun and interactive manner.

Abstract

Quizizz-based educational game media is an innovative learning tool that integrates play with instruction, fostering a more engaging and interactive environment for cognitive development. This study addresses the challenges of low cognitive abilities in problem-solving, logical thinking, and symbolic thinking among children at TK Raudatush Shibyan, which are often attributed to teacher-centered methods and limited digital media integration. Using a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, the study involved 13 children selected through purposive sampling. Cognitive development was assessed using a pictorial instrument aligned with national early childhood education standards. Data were analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests to determine the significance of the intervention. The findings revealed a substantial increase in children's cognitive scores following the intervention. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference between pretest and posttest results, with a large effect size indicating that the use of Quizizz had a profound impact on cognitive improvement. In conclusion, Quizizz-based educational games are proven to be an effective and powerful medium for significantly enhancing the cognitive abilities of children aged 5–6 years.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers in detecting and addressing mental health issues among young children in Kindergarten Cluster II, Seteluk District. Employing a quantitative approach with a survey design, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 44 teachers across 16 kindergartens. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression with SPSS 30.0. The results indicate that the teacher's role significantly influences the detection and management of mental health problems in early childhood. A regression coefficient of -0.864 was obtained, indicating an inverse relationship: as the teacher's role increases, the level of mental health problems in children decreases. Furthermore, the R-Square value of 0.302 suggests that 30.2% of the variance in children's mental health issues is attributed to the teacher's role. Consequently, teachers play a pivotal role in identifying and mitigating mental health challenges. The study recommends continuous training and collaboration among teachers, parents, and professionals to foster a healthy, supportive environment for early childhood development.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of ethnoparenting socialization at PAUD Al-Hidayah, North Lombok, aimed at evaluating parents’ understanding of the importance of integrating local cultural values into early childhood care. A qualitative descriptive approach was applied through participatory observation, documentation study, and group discussions. Findings indicate that the program successfully enhanced parental awareness of core values such as religiosity, cultural identity, connection with nature, communal cooperation, and the father’s role in child-rearing. These results align with various ethnoparenting studies across Indonesia, including those in Kapuas Hulu, Madura, Sundanese, Minangkabau, and Pamona communities, which emphasize the importance of local wisdom in shaping children’s character. Therefore, ethnoparenting socialization can be considered an effective strategy to strengthen family education in frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged regions.

Abstract

This research is motivated by cognitive abilities, particularly in the ability to recognize number symbols and count simple objects in children whose development has not yet reached its maximum, because kindergarten children are still unable to think abstractly and tend to think concretely. The purpose of this study is to improve children's cognitive abilities through the use of picture media in Group B kindergarten students. This research uses classroom action research (CAR), conducted in two collaborative cycles, starting from planning, implementation, observation, and reflection/evaluation. The data collection methods used were observation and documentation. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and qualitatively by examining the learning process and learning outcomes. The research subjects were 11 students of Group B at TK BA Aisyiyah Lobulian Haji. The results of the study showed that there was an improvement in the ability to recognize number symbols and count in children. In Cycle I, 11 children met the "starting to develop" (MB) criteria. In the implementation of learning using picture media, Cycle I obtained a total score of 37 with an average percentage of 43.7%, and improved in Cycle II with a total score of 57 with an average percentage of 89.6%. These results are considered successful because they exceeded the success indicator of 86%. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that using picture media can improve the ability to recognize number symbols and count in Group B children at TK BA Aisyiyah Labuhan Haji.

Abstract

The use of technology-based media in early childhood literacy learning remains limited, necessitating innovative approaches that support engaging and effective learning processes. This study aims to develop and assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a Wordwall-based educational game in improving the literacy skills of Group B children. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model and was conducted at PAUD Al-Hijrah, West Lombok, involving 18 Group B children as subjects. The research steps included needs analysis, media design, expert validation, limited trials, and effectiveness evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. Data collection techniques involved observation, expert validation questionnaires (media and content), and literacy tests. Validation results indicated that the media was highly feasible, with scores of 100% from media experts and 95% from content experts. Effectiveness testing showed an increase in the average score from 72.31 to 93.08, with an N-Gain score of 0.78, categorized as high. The literacy indicator with the highest improvement was recognizing the initial letter of object names, identifying letter symbols, and understanding the relationship between letter sounds and their written forms. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Wordwall educational game is effective and feasible for enhancing literacy skills in Group B.
