Abstract

Early childhood literacy development is a crucial foundation for children’s future academic achievement and communication skills, yet literacy learning in many early childhood institutions remains conventional and less engaging for young learners. This study aimed to improve children’s literacy skills through the use of wayang media at TK Assalam Martapura. The research employed a collaborative Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles involving 15 children in Group A. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and assessment of teacher activities, student participation, and literacy outcomes covering listening, speaking, letter recognition, and early writing skills. The findings revealed significant improvement in children’s literacy development after the implementation of wayang-based learning activities. In the pre-intervention stage, 66.7% of children were categorized as “Not Yet Developed,” while by the end of Cycle II, 66.7% reached the “Very Well Developed” category and 33.3% achieved “Developing as Expected,” resulting in 100% classical completeness. The study concludes that wayang media effectively enhances children’s literacy skills by creating interactive, culturally relevant, and enjoyable learning experiences. This research contributes to the development of innovative early childhood literacy instruction by integrating local cultural heritage into meaningful educational practices that support children’s language, creativity, and active participation.

Abstract

Early childhood is a critical period in which foundational aspects of personality and character are established. This research aims to enhance the independence of early childhood learners through the application of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model in Group A at Raudhatul Athfal Harapan Ibu, Desa Labat Muara, Kecamatan Aluh-Aluh, Kabupaten Banjar. Independence is a crucial aspect of early childhood development, reflecting a child's ability to perform tasks without relying on others. The PjBL model was chosen because it provides meaningful, contextual, and active learning experiences through project activities that directly involve children. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 15 children in Group A, while data were collected through observation, documentation, and field notes. Project activities in Cycle I involved making pencil holders from used cardboard and straws, while Cycle II involved creating pencil holders decorated with flannel fabric. The results indicated a significant increase in children's independence after implementing the PjBL model, as evidenced by the shift in children’s independence categories and improvement in key indicators such as initiative, responsibility, and decision-making. Therefore, it can be concluded that the PjBL model is effective in enhancing independence in early childhood education settings.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of developing early childhood cognitive abilities through engaging and meaningful learning experiences. The aim of this study is to enhance children's cognitive skills through science-based hydroponic planting projects at Handayani Kindergarten, Awang Bangkal Barat Village. The method used is Research and Development (R&D), consisting of the stages of design, validation, revision, and limited implementation. The research subjects are children aged 5–6 years. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and questionnaires, while data analysis employs both quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results show that the developed hydroponic learning media received a feasibility score of 100% from material and media experts, categorized as highly feasible, and a practicality score of 85% from teachers, categorized as very good. Furthermore, the use of this media is able to improve children's cognitive abilities, particularly in observation, logical thinking, and drawing simple conclusions. Therefore, science learning based on hydroponic planting projects is effective in enhancing the cognitive abilities of early childhood learners

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to improve fine motor skills in children aged 5–6 years old in Group B TK ABA Rahmaniah Banjarbaru through a series of structured handicraft activities. The research was motivated by the observation that most children exhibited underdeveloped fine motor skills, which are essential for daily functioning and school readiness. The intervention consisted of two cycles, each with three sessions, where children created pencil holders from recycled plastic bottles, engaging in cutting, gluing, coloring, and decorating. Data were collected through observation checklists, documentation, and descriptive analysis. The results revealed a significant improvement: children in the "Very Well Developed" category increased from 0% at baseline to 85.7% after the second cycle. The findings confirm that creative handicraft activities provide an effective, enjoyable, and sustainable approach to developing fine motor skills in early childhood. Recommendations are offered for teachers, schools, parents, and future researchers.

Abstract

Early Humans are born without knowledge but are endowed with innate potential (fitrah) that enables development through the process of education. The Qur'an is the primary guideline in the life of Muslims; therefore, the ability to read the Qur'an needs to be introduced from an early age. A common problem found is children's inability to pronounce hijaiyah letters correctly. This study aims to describe the implementation of the tahajji method using the At-Tibyan book in improving Qur'anic reading (qira’ah) skills of early childhood students at TK TAUD SaQu Ar-Raudah, Marabahan District. This research employed a qualitative approach with a field research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that the implementation of the At-Tibyan method improves children's ability to read the Qur'an, particularly in recognizing hijaiyah letters and improving pronunciation accuracy. In addition, this method increases students' learning interest and assists teachers in delivering learning materials effectively. Therefore, the At-Tibyan method is considered effective for teaching Qur'anic reading to early childhood learners.

Abstract

Early childhood education (ECE) forms a vital foundation for children’s cognitive, linguistic, emotional, and social development. This study aims to develop and evaluate Flipbook Art as a digital learning media to enhance early reading skills among children aged 5–6 years at RA Al-Mushallun, Kecamatan Alalak. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the Four-D (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) model, the research produced an interactive flipbook tailored for early learners. Validation was conducted by material and media experts as well as classroom teachers, followed by small and large-scale trials involving 100 children. Results indicate that Flipbook Art is highly feasible (validated at >80% by all validators) and effective in improving children’s ability to recognize letters, decode sounds, comprehend words, and develop reading fluency. The integration of visual design, interactive features, and curriculum alignment proved vital in fostering literacy engagement. The study recommends Flipbook Art as an innovative, accessible solution for addressing early reading challenges and supporting teachers in early childhood education settings.
