Abstract

Understanding the development of children's fine motor skills through the use of colored sand media is crucial for teachers when providing stimuli to students. When learning with colored sand, children can enhance their imagination and exercise greater freedom in developing their physical fine motor skills. Utilizing colored sand media to develop fine motor skills in early childhood is a viable strategy, as it facilitates easier learning and practice for the children. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of colored sand media on children's fine motor development. This study employed a quantitative method with a descriptive experimental design. The subjects were 15 students from Group B at TK YPPI Donggala. Based on the results prior to the treatment, the data showed Very Well Developed (BSB) at 2.22%, Developed as Expected (BSH) at 11.11%, Starting to Develop (MB) at 55.56%, and Undeveloped (BB) at 31.11%. Conversely, the results after the treatment showed Very Well Developed (BSB) at 26.67%, Developed as Expected (BSH) at 53.33%, Starting to Develop (MB) at 20.00%, and Undeveloped (BB) at 0.00%. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was performed using percentage techniques and t-tests. The t-test results indicated a calculated t-value of 7.436 with a significance of 0.00. Since the significance value is less than 0.05, it is concluded that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. This indicates that the colored sand media method has a significant effect on the fine motor development of children in Group B at TK YPPI Donggala.

Abstract

Early childhood cognitive development requires engaging learning media. However, many PAUD classrooms still rely on monotonous activities that reduce children's motivation and limit cognitive progress. This study aimed to develop an Android-based interactive learning application to stimulate early childhood cognitive development, particularly in recognizing colors, geometric shapes, and sizes. The study used a research and development method based on the ADDIE model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The population comprised children at RA Al Ikhlas Birobuli. Participants for the classroom trial were selected through purposive sampling, focusing on children who took part in the learning activities during the implementation stage. Data were collected using observation sheets to measure learning engagement and cognitive performance, expert validation questionnaires to assess media and material feasibility, and cognitive tests in the form of a pretest and posttest to measure learning outcomes. Expert validation results indicated that the application was highly feasible, with a media feasibility score of 95% and a material feasibility score of 92%. Classroom implementation showed a significant improvement in children’s cognitive abilities, as indicated by higher posttest scores than pretest scores and a p-value of 0.000. The application includes interactive features such as visual animations, sound effects, game-based tasks, and a reward system, which increased engagement and motivation and supported constructivist principles that emphasize active and multisensory learning. In conclusion, the Android-based interactive application is effective, practical, and innovative for supporting early childhood cognitive development. It is recommended that PAUD teachers use this application as complementary learning media. Future studies should involve larger and more diverse samples and evaluate long-term learning retention and usability across different devices.

Abstract

Alphabet and counting skills are fundamental components in the development of early childhood literacy and numeracy. However, many children aged 4-5 are only able to memorize letters and numbers without understanding their concrete forms and meanings. This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of PAMIN (Interactive Magnetic Board) as a learning media to enhance alphabet and counting skills in early childhood. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), and was conducted at TK Dharmawanita Tawangsari 2, Sidoarjo. The study involved 23 children in Group A (aged 4ÔÇô5 years). The instruments used included observation sheets, skill tests, and expert validation questionnaires. The results showed that PAMIN is feasible to use, based on validation by subject matter and media experts. Moreover, there was a significant improvement in both alphabet and counting abilities, with an average N-Gain score of 0.81 (classified as high). PAMIN proved to be effective as it integrates enjoyable multisensory learning through a combination of visual, manipulative, and singing methods. This study concludes that PAMIN is an innovative learning media and is recommended to support interactive learning processes in early childhood education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of natural material-based ecoprint activities on the fine motor skills of of 5-6 year old children. A mixed methods approach was employed using a quasi-experimental design. The research subjects consisted of 28 children from Group B at State Kindergarten of 8 Wita Ponda, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received treatment through ecoprint activities for ten days, while the control group engaged in regular activities without similar interventions. Data were collected through fine motor skills tests (pretest and posttest), observations, documentation, and interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test and N-Gain Score, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the fine motor skills of children in the experimental group compared to the control group, with a p-value < 0.05 and an average N-Gain Score of 68.4%, categorized as moderately effective. Interviews with teachers and the principal affirmed that ecoprint activities provided enjoyable learning experiences, enhanced hand and finger coordination, and fostered childrens environmental awareness. Therefore, ecoprint is considered a viable alternative learning method to holistically develop fine motor skills in early childhood education.

Abstract

Cognitive ability is one of the essential aspects of early childhood development that must be stimulated through approaches aligned with the children’s developmental stages. This study aims to determine the effect of the storytelling method on the cognitive abilities of children aged 5–6 years. The research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design of the one-group pretest-posttest type. The study involved 14 children from Group B as research subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, using observation sheets, assessment rubrics, and interview guidelines as instruments. The data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using a paired sample t-test. The results revealed a significant improvement in the aspects of retelling stories, answering questions, and identifying story settings and characters after the implementation of the storytelling method. This improvement was reflected by an increase in the “Very Well Developed” category and a notable decrease in the “Not Yet Developed” category. The t-test results showed a significance value of < 0.05, indicating a significant effect of the storytelling method on children’s cognitive abilities. These findings confirm that the storytelling method is an effective learning approach to actively, enjoyably, and meaningfully stimulate children’s cognitive development in the context of early childhood education.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of contextual learning in developing children’s cognitive abilities. The subjects of this research were all 18 children in Group B of Pelita Hati Kindergarten, consisting of 9 boys and 9 girls. The findings revealed that contextual learning played a significant role in enhancing the cognitive development of children in Group B, particularly through the use of spinach as a learning medium. Before the learning activity began, the teacher introduced spinach, explained its parts, and encouraged the children to identify and count them. The teacher then invited the children to play a sorting game by arranging the spinach from the smallest to the largest. Through contextual learning, children were able to interact directly with concrete materials, which supported the early childhood education principle of learning through play and facilitated better understanding. Observations conducted over three weeks showed that contextual learning greatly contributed to children’s cognitive growth, particularly in three key aspects: sequencing, identifying, and counting.
