Abstract

Early Childhood Education (ECE) plays a critical role in shaping foundational cognitive skills, particularly during the preoperational stage (ages 2–7 years) as theorized by Jean Piaget. Children in this phase learn optimally through active, symbolic manipulation and play. However, the global shift towards digital learning necessitates a robust instructional design framework to overcome the limitations of passive media and mitigate the risks of cognitive overload often associated with poorly structured digital content. This study addresses the urgent need for empirically validated, theory-driven digital learning tools for ECE by systematically integrating Piaget’s developmental rationale with Richard E. Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML). The research employed a systematic Research and Development (R&D) approach using the five-phase ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The analysis phase defined specific cognitive targets (e.g., shape, number, and color recognition) suitable for preoperational learners. The design and development phases strictly implemented key CTML principles, such as the Coherence Principle (eliminating extraneous materials like non-essential background music) and the Modality Principle (using audio narration instead of on-screen text to prevent dual-channel overload), thereby optimizing cognitive processing efficiency for young learners. The intervention—an interactive digital simulation designed around these principles—was implemented with a sample of ECE children in Indonesia. The efficacy of the intervention was evaluated using a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the cognitive performance of the treatment group (p < 0.05). Specifically, children exposed to the CTML-designed simulation showed an average cognitive gain of 25% to 30% in targeted skills (classification, counting, and problem-solving) compared to their baseline scores. This substantial gain validates the combined theoretical approach. The study concludes that the effectiveness of digital media in ECE is not inherent to the technology itself but is directly proportional to the rigor of the instructional design, confirming that minimizing extraneous cognitive load through Mayer's principles enables more efficient assimilation and accommodation of new knowledge, aligning perfectly with Piagetian demands for active learning. Future research should explore the long-term retention effects and integrate more immersive technologies like Augmented Reality (AR).10Keywords: Interactive Digital Learning; Cognitive Development; Piaget's Preoperational Stage; Multimedia Learning Principles.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the management of digital media use in early childhood education (PAUD) and its impact on the language development of young children. The research approach used a mixed method with a sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data were obtained through questionnaires and observations of children's language development, while qualitative data were obtained through interviews and in-depth observations. The study sample consisted of 40 PAUD teachers and 80 children aged 4–6 years from three PAUD institutions in Surabaya and Sidoarjo. The results showed that digital media management which includes planning, media selection, duration settings, mentoring, and evaluation has a significant impact on children's language development (p < 0.05). PAUDs that implement structured digital media management show better achievements in vocabulary development, speaking skills, and listening skills than PAUDs that do not have clear media management. Qualitative analysis shows that teacher mentoring is a key factor in ensuring that digital media use is interactive, not passive. These findings emphasize the importance of effective digital media management in supporting the stimulation of early childhood language development.

Abstract

The development of digital technology requires Early Childhood Education (PAUD) institutions to be able to manage the improvement of teachers' digital competence in a targeted and sustainable manner. PAUD teachers are not only required to be able to use technological devices, but also to be able to design interactive learning media that are appropriate to the developmental characteristics of early childhood. This study aims to describe the management of ECE teachers' digital competence development in designing technology-based interactive learning media. The research focuses on planning teachers' digital competence development needs, implementing training or mentoring programs, utilizing digital applications in creating learning media, and evaluating the results of teacher competence development. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects included ECE institution heads and ECE teachers involved in the use of digital learning media. The results are expected to demonstrate that the development of ECE teachers' digital competence needs to be managed through systematic managerial stages, starting from needs analysis, program planning, training implementation, practical mentoring, and evaluating the quality of the resulting learning media. Technology-based interactive learning media, such as interactive PowerPoint, Canva, Wordwall, educational videos, and simple learning applications, can support learning that is more engaging, visual, participatory, and appropriate to the world of children. Thus, managing the development of digital competencies in early childhood education (ECE) teachers is a crucial factor in improving the quality of learning, teacher creativity, and the readiness of ECE institutions to face the digital transformation of education.
