Abstract

Self-regulation is a crucial ability in early childhood development, encompassing the control of attention, behavior, and emotions within learning contexts and social interactions. This ability serves as a foundational component of children’s learning readiness and social adjustment in educational settings. Children with intellectual developmental delay often experience difficulties in self-regulation due to limitations in cognitive capacity and executive functioning, which subsequently affect learning engagement and social adaptability. This study aimed to describe the self-regulation of an early childhood learner with intellectual developmental delay using a case study approach. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with continuous observation conducted over a four-month period in a kindergarten learning environment. The research subject was a six-year-old child diagnosed with moderate intellectual developmental delay. Observations focused on attention regulation, behavioral regulation, emotional regulation, and social-emotional functioning during learning activities. The findings revealed that the child’s self-regulation had not developed in accordance with chronological age expectations. The most prominent difficulties included limited sustained attention, dependence on external guidance for behavior regulation, emotional instability when facing challenges, and restricted peer interactions. These findings indicate that intellectual developmental delay affects multiple and interrelated aspects of self-regulation, highlighting the importance of understanding self-regulation based on developmental rather than chronological age

Abstract

This case study examines language development in a five-year-old child with a palatal physical abnormality, focusing on differences among receptive language, early literacy skills, and expressive language. Observational findings indicate that the child’s receptive language development is age-appropriate, as shown by the ability to understand instructions, recognize vocabulary, and participate effectively in conversations. In addition, early literacy skills are well developed, reflected in the ability to recognize letters, associate sounds with symbols, and comprehend simple stories. However, the most significant area of difficulty is expressive language. This is characterized by limited vocabulary, short sentence production, difficulties in articulating certain speech sounds, and the presence of hypernasality. Although the child has undergone palatal surgery, speech function has not fully recovered, resulting in expressive language abilities that remain below age expectations. These expressive language difficulties are influenced by limitations in articulatory function, suboptimal control of airflow, restricted communication experiences, and the possibility of mild hearing impairment.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an innovative learning medium called Rumah Pintar Gembira (MAHARIA) to improve the cognitive abilities of early childhood. The research was conducted using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The study was carried out in two early childhood education institutions, namely TK Sukakarya and TK Cemerlang in Sukabumi City, with children aged 4–5 years as the research subjects. The needs analysis revealed that cognitive learning media used in both institutions were limited and mostly consisted of worksheets and static picture cards. Most teachers (78–90%) expressed the need for concrete, manipulative, and interactive learning media, while the average cognitive ability of children was still in the low category (43.7%). Based on these findings, the MAHARIA learning media was developed in the form of a three-dimensional miniature house equipped with eight learning activity components designed to stimulate number recognition, one-to-one correspondence, classification skills, and simple problem-solving abilities. The feasibility of the media was validated by three experts consisting of one media expert and two material experts, resulting in an average feasibility score of 75.3%, categorized as feasible with revision. The effectiveness test was conducted using a comparative experimental design. The experimental group obtained an average N-Gain score of 0.51 (moderate category), which was higher than the comparison group with an average N-Gain score of 0.28 (low category). These findings indicate that the MAHARIA learning media contributes positively to improving early childhood cognitive abilities compared to conventional learning media. Therefore, the MAHARIA learning media can serve as an alternative innovative learning medium to support cognitive development in early childhood education.
