Abstract

Early childhood language development is a crucial aspect of holistic growth and development, especially in Dian Harapan Makkio Baji Kindergarten in Takalar, located in an area with a language delay rate of 12–14%. This study aims to examine the effect of play and storytelling methods on the expressive language skills of children aged 5–6 years, analyze development before and after intervention, and assess the effectiveness of the integrated application of both methods. Using a Quasi-Experimental design with 14 subjects divided into experimental and control groups, the study was conducted over six weeks with a Likert-scale pretest and posttest. The results showed a significant increase in the experimental group, with an average score of 67.57 to 86.43, while the control group only increased from 65.29 to 68.43. The Wilcoxon test confirmed a significant effect (p = 0.018) of the play and storytelling method on language development, compared to the insignificant change in the control group (p = 0.310). Thus, this method is proven to be effective in improving the quality of children's language development objectively and measurably.

Abstract

The development of creativity in early childhood is a crucial aspect in education, but often the stimulation provided is not varied enough. In Amatullah Kire State Kindergarten, the level of creativity of children aged 4–5 years still requires optimization through more interactive and exploratory learning media such as clay play. This study aims to describe the application of clay play to children aged 4–5 years, determine the picture of children's creativity before and after the intervention, and test the effect of clay play on increasing children's creativity in Amatullah Kire State Kindergarten. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design of the One-Group Pretest-Posttest type. The study sample consisted of 10 children aged 4–5 years who were given treatment in the form of structured clay play activities. Data was collected through creativity observations and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed that the application of clay play went very well with high enthusiasm from children. Children's creativity before treatment was in the medium category ("Starting to Emerge") but increased significantly after treatment to the high category ("Always Emerging"). The Wilcoxon test confirmed a significant effect with a significant value of 0.004 (p < 0.05). It was concluded that clay play is effective in enhancing the creativity of children aged 4–5 years. This study provides a practical contribution for early childhood educators in adopting clay as an effective learning method to optimize children's creative potential. Furthermore, these results serve as a scientific reference for the development of an arts-based curriculum at the kindergarten level.
