Abstract

This study was motivated by children's limited understanding of healthy eating habits, evidenced by picky eating behaviors, a dislike for fruits and vegetables, and difficulty distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy foods. The limited range of instructional media used by teachers also highlighted the need to develop engaging and interactive media. This study aimed to develop an interactive Wordwall game, assess its feasibility based on expert evaluations, and gauge the responses of both teachers and children. The study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The research subjects were children in Group B at RA Persatuan Islam Al-Amin Kotabaru. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, expert validation, and product trials, then analyzed descriptively using percentages. Validation results showed scores of 95% from the subject matter expert (highly feasible), 77.08% from the media expert (feasible), and 97.5% from the language expert (highly feasible). Observations of children's activities yielded an average score of 93.33%, while the implementation of the media reached 100%; both were categorized as "very good." Teachers responded positively, and the children demonstrated enthusiasm and active participation in identifying and distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy foods. Thus, the interactive Wordwall game is suitable for introducing healthy eating habits to Group B children.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the problems of emotional regulation and barriers to social interaction in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) at Mutiara Cipayung Kindergarten, such as impulsive behavior, tantrums, and hyperactivity. This study aims to analyze the design of dance activities, the process of reducing impulsive actions, increasing self-control, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors of these activities in improving children's emotional regulation. The research approach used was a qualitative case study method. The research subject, AAB, is a five-year-old boy diagnosed with ADHD. Supporting informants included the class teacher, the principal, and parents. Data were collected over six months (December 2025–June 2026) through direct observation, unstructured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis applied the Miles and Huberman model (collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing), with data validity tests including credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The results showed that implementing structured dance activities (warm-up, main activity, cool-down), with simple, repetitive movements, short duration (15–20 minutes), and varying musical tempos effectively improved children's emotional regulation. AAB subjects demonstrated decreased impulsive behavior, increased compliance with instructions, improved self-control, and a decreased frequency of tantrums at school and at home. Key supporting factors included teacher patience, engaging music, positive reinforcement, and active partnerships with parents; while inhibiting factors stemmed from within the child, including distractions and mood instability. It can be concluded that enjoyable, movement-based dance activities can stimulate motor, cognitive, and social aspects, leading to emotional stability in children with ADHD.
