Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of developing early childhood cognitive abilities through engaging and meaningful learning experiences. The aim of this study is to enhance children's cognitive skills through science-based hydroponic planting projects at Handayani Kindergarten, Awang Bangkal Barat Village. The method used is Research and Development (R&D), consisting of the stages of design, validation, revision, and limited implementation. The research subjects are children aged 5–6 years. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and questionnaires, while data analysis employs both quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results show that the developed hydroponic learning media received a feasibility score of 100% from material and media experts, categorized as highly feasible, and a practicality score of 85% from teachers, categorized as very good. Furthermore, the use of this media is able to improve children's cognitive abilities, particularly in observation, logical thinking, and drawing simple conclusions. Therefore, science learning based on hydroponic planting projects is effective in enhancing the cognitive abilities of early childhood learners

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to improve fine motor skills in children aged 5–6 years old in Group B TK ABA Rahmaniah Banjarbaru through a series of structured handicraft activities. The research was motivated by the observation that most children exhibited underdeveloped fine motor skills, which are essential for daily functioning and school readiness. The intervention consisted of two cycles, each with three sessions, where children created pencil holders from recycled plastic bottles, engaging in cutting, gluing, coloring, and decorating. Data were collected through observation checklists, documentation, and descriptive analysis. The results revealed a significant improvement: children in the "Very Well Developed" category increased from 0% at baseline to 85.7% after the second cycle. The findings confirm that creative handicraft activities provide an effective, enjoyable, and sustainable approach to developing fine motor skills in early childhood. Recommendations are offered for teachers, schools, parents, and future researchers.

Abstract

Early childhood education is recognized globally as the most critical period for optimizing holistic child development cognitive, social-emotional, language, and moral. This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of inclusive education at TK Aisyiyah Ranting V Martapura, focusing on planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning for children with special needs (CWD). The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis employed the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of four stages data reduction, data coding, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that inclusive education planning has been carried out over the past two years but remains limited to administrative aspects, lacking adequate support in the form of Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Implementation is conducted through collaborative and individual approaches, however, limited facilities and human resources present significant challenges. Evaluation is carried out informally through teacher observations and communication with parents, without standardized formal instruments. The analysis indicates that the success of inclusive education is strongly influenced by teacher commitment, flexibility in teaching approaches, and parental involvement. However, program sustainability requires stronger policy support, specialized training, and collaboration with external experts.

Abstract

Early childhood education (ECE) forms a vital foundation for children’s cognitive, linguistic, emotional, and social development. This study aims to develop and evaluate Flipbook Art as a digital learning media to enhance early reading skills among children aged 5–6 years at RA Al-Mushallun, Kecamatan Alalak. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the Four-D (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) model, the research produced an interactive flipbook tailored for early learners. Validation was conducted by material and media experts as well as classroom teachers, followed by small and large-scale trials involving 100 children. Results indicate that Flipbook Art is highly feasible (validated at >80% by all validators) and effective in improving children’s ability to recognize letters, decode sounds, comprehend words, and develop reading fluency. The integration of visual design, interactive features, and curriculum alignment proved vital in fostering literacy engagement. The study recommends Flipbook Art as an innovative, accessible solution for addressing early reading challenges and supporting teachers in early childhood education settings.

Abstract

Speaking skills are crucial for supporting elementary school students' communication, yet in practice, their proficiency remains low. This is characterized by limitations in sentence structure, lack of confidence, and difficulty conveying ideas coherently. One approach to addressing these issues is the implementation of storytelling methods using flipbooks, which can create interactive and engaging learning. This research employed a quantitative approach with an experimental design and a one-group pretest-posttest design. The subjects were 39 fifth-grade students at SDN 2 Hegarsari. Data collection used a speaking skills performance test covering both linguistic and non-linguistic aspects. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and a paired sample t-test. The results showed an increase in the average score from 43.46 in the pretest to 67,82 in the posttest, with a significance level of 0.000 <0.05. This improvement occurred because the storytelling method provided students with the opportunity to practice composing and conveying stories orally, while the flipbook media helped students understand the storyline through engaging visualizations, making it easier to remember and retell. Consequently, there was improvement in linguistic aspects, such as vocabulary, sentence structure, intonation, and pronunciation as well as non-linguistic aspects, such as confidence, fluency, expression, volume, and topic mastery. Thus, the integration of the storytelling method and flipbook media has proven effective in improving elementary school students' speaking skills and can be used as an innovative, interactive, and contextual learning alternative

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the learning interest of fifth-grade students in mathematics learning at SDN 3 Dunguswiru. This research uses a quantitative descriptive approach with a purposive sampling technique. The subjects of this study were 29 fifth-grade students. Data were collected through a questionnaire instrument consisting of 19 valid items after validity and reliability testing using SPSS, with a Cronbach Alpha value of 0.884 (very high reliability). The data analysis technique used was descriptive statistics with percentages. The results showed that 79% of students (23 students) were in the high interest category, 21% (6 students) were in the moderate interest category, and no students were in the low interest category. However, a finding also emerged that 79% of students experienced high levels of anxiety in mathematics learning. These findings indicate that although students generally show high enthusiasm and interest in mathematics, high anxiety levels still need to be addressed through varied, supportive, and student-centered learning strategies.
