Abstract

This study aims to enhance the cognitive abilities of Group A children aged 4–5 years at TK ABA Purwodadi, Purwodadi District, Purworejo Regency in the 2024/2025 academic year, particularly in understanding numerical concepts through the use of “number cup” media. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) model consisting of four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. A qualitative descriptive approach was used to explore the meaning, process, and impact of instructional actions implemented to improve children’s learning outcomes. The study was conducted over two cycles, and data were collected using observation sheets.The research subjects were 22 children aged 4–5 years, comprising 9 boys and 13 girls. The findings indicate a significant improvement in children’s cognitive mastery of numbers 1–10. During the pre-cycle stage, only 18% (4 children) demonstrated adequate understanding. This increased to 41% (9 children) in Cycle I. Following adjustments made to address challenges identified in Cycle I, Cycle II showed a further improvement, reaching 77% (17 children). These results demonstrate that the use of number cup media effectively enhances young children’s ability to understand numerical concepts. Additionally, the media contributed to increased interest and motivation in learning numbers among Group A children at TK ABA Purwodadi.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implementasi pembelajaran sains kehidupan kelautan dalam mengenalkan keanekaragaman biota laut Indonesia kepada anak usia dini melalui tinjauan literatur sistematis. Penelitian menggunakan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan mengacu pada pedoman PRISMA, terhadap artikel ilmiah yang diterbitkan pada rentang 2015–2025. Dari 143 artikel yang teridentifikasi melalui berbagai basis data ilmiah, sebanyak 11 artikel memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan dianalisis untuk menjawab tiga pertanyaan penelitian terkait urgensi, materi pembelajaran, dan praktik terbaik pembelajaran sains kehidupan kelautan bagi anak usia dini. Hasil sintesis menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran interaktif dan berbasis pengalaman seperti penggunaan media visual, buku cerita bergambar, permainan edukatif, serta aktivitas eksploratif efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman anak terhadap jenis biota laut, hubungan ekosistem, dan isu lingkungan maritim. Pendekatan kontekstual yang mengaitkan materi dengan lingkungan sekitar anak terbukti memperkuat minat belajar dan kesadaran ekologis. Keberhasilan pembelajaran juga dipengaruhi oleh peran guru, dukungan orang tua, serta keselarasan dengan kurikulum, khususnya Kurikulum Merdeka. Secara keseluruhan, pembelajaran sains kehidupan kelautan berpotensi memperkaya kurikulum PAUD dan menjadi sarana strategis dalam menanamkan kepedulian terhadap kelestarian ekosistem laut sejak dini.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze early childhood education (ECE) teachers’ professional competencies in designing lesson plans. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using a survey method. The participants consisted of 100 ECE teachers from DKI Jakarta and Banten Provinces, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using closed-ended questionnaires to measure teachers’ professional competence and open-ended questionnaires to examine the lesson plans prepared by the teachers. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. The results indicate that 98% of the ECE teachers were female, with 49% holding a high school qualification and 43% holding a bachelor’s degree. Teachers aged over 50 years demonstrated higher levels of professional competence compared to younger teachers. In terms of educational background, teachers with diploma-level qualifications exhibited higher professional competence than those holding bachelor’s degrees. Teachers with 4–6 years of teaching experience achieved the highest professional competence scores. However, analysis of the lesson plans revealed that most teachers relied heavily on student worksheets, resulting in limited variation and low creativity in learning activities. This study concludes that although ECE teachers demonstrate relatively high levels of professional competence, these competencies are not fully reflected in the quality of their lesson plan design. The findings highlight the need for continuous professional development programs that emphasize creative and innovative lesson planning practices. This study reveals a mismatch between teachers’ measured professional competence and their practical ability to design varied lesson plans within the Indonesian ECE context. Future research is recommended to employ mixed-methods or longitudinal designs to explore the underlying factors influencing this mismatch and to examine the effectiveness of targeted professional development interventions in improving lesson plan quality.
