Abstract

Learning in early childhood education remains largely teacher-centered and relies on limited learning media. This article presents the development of a loose parts–based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model with the potential to enhance young children’s cognitive abilities and creativity. The model was developed in response to findings that early childhood education in Bengkulu City still emphasizes reading, writing, and arithmetic, with limited use of varied and open-ended learning materials. The study aimed to produce a loose parts–based PjBL model that is valid, practical, and feasible for early childhood learning. A Research and Development (R&D) approach was employed using the ADDIE model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. A limited trial involved 40 children, while a large-scale trial included 73 children from several PAUD units in Bengkulu City. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and performance assessments, and analyzed using a t-test. The results indicate that the final model consists of five learning phases and its implementation shows a tendency to improve children’s cognitive and creativity and is considered highly feasible and practical by teachers. This study contributes an applicable project-based learning model to support more child-centered early childhood education practices.

Abstract

This study aimed to provide multimedia-based busy book learning resources to enhance the language and cognitive abilities of young children attending Bengkulu City's Lembayung Indah Kindergarten. Both books and multimedia-based busy books are the end products of this research project. Potential and problems, data collection, initial product design, expert validation, design revision, small group trials, product revision I, large group trials, product revision II, and final product are the ten steps that make up this research, which is a development research (Research & Development) using the Borg and Gall model. 36 youngsters made up the sample used in this study, which was selected at random. Children's abilities tests, open interviews, and observation were the methods used to get the data. T tests, percentages, and scores were employed in this study's data analysis. Based on the study's findings, the creation of multimedia-based busy book materials was deemed both practical and successful in enhancing the language and cognitive abilities of young children in group B of Lembayung Indah Kindergarten in Bengkulu City.
