Abstract

This study explores the implementation of STEAM-based learning integrated with loose parts media to develop early childhood creativity at TK Nurul Qur’an Stabat. The research was conducted in response to the increasing need for learning approaches that prepare young children to think critically, solve problems, and adapt to rapid technological development. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation to describe the real conditions of children aged 4–5 years before and during the application of STEAM activities using loose parts materials. The findings indicate that children’s creativity measured through their ability to generate new ideas, create original products, and modify existing formshad not developed optimally prior to the intervention. The implementation of STEAM with loose parts provided opportunities for children to explore, experiment, imagine, and create freely according to their ideas. The study concludes that STEAM-based learning using loose parts has strong potential to enhance early childhood creativity, supported by engaging activities that integrate science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. This approach also fosters children’s curiosity, collaborative skills, and problem-solving abilities. The research further identifies supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation process, emphasizing the need for teacher competence, appropriate learning media, and a conducive environment to optimize children’s creative development.

Abstract

This study aims to find out how to improve the mathematical logic intelligence of children aged 5-6 years through loose part media at PAUD Harapan Ummat, Sari Rejo Village, Medan Polonia District. To support the ability of mathematical logic intelligence in early childhood 5-6 years old, it can be done by utilizing loose part media, which includes natural materials, such as leaves, seeds, grains and shells. This study uses the Classroom Action Research method.The data collection techniques carried out are observation and documentation.with two cycles. Each cycle consists of 2 meetings. Then the researcher will observe the improvement of children's mathematical logic intelligence in each cycle to see the percentage increase. Observations were carried out based on research instruments in the form of BB, MB, BSH, BSB. Therefore, the conclusion of the study proves the effectiveness of loose part media in developing early childhood logic intelligence skills. Researchers recommend teachers to use loose part media to stimulate the mathematical logic intelligence of 5-6-year-old children.
