Abstract

The development of critical and creative thinking skills has become an important priority in early childhood education as part of preparing children to face the challenges of the twenty-first century. Early childhood learning environments should therefore encourage exploration, problem-solving, and creativity through meaningful and interactive activities. One innovative approach that supports these objectives is the STEAM approach, which integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics into interdisciplinary learning experiences. This study aims to analyze how the integration of the STEAM approach in early childhood education contributes to the development of children’s critical and creative thinking skills. This research employs a mixed-method approach involving qualitative and quantitative analysis. Data were collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and documentation of STEAM-based learning activities conducted with children aged 4–6 years in early childhood education settings. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis for qualitative findings and descriptive statistics to examine improvements in children’s thinking skill indicators. The findings indicate that STEAM-based learning significantly improves children’s ability to observe, ask questions, experiment, generate original ideas, and collaborate in problem-solving activities. These learning experiences also enhance children’s engagement, creativity, and early scientific literacy through hands-on exploration and interdisciplinary activities. In conclusion, the integration of the STEAM approach in early childhood education effectively supports the development of critical and creative thinking skills while creating meaningful and engaging learning environments for young learners

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the relationship between teacher’s knowledge of Bloom’s Taxonomy and character education with their digital-based understanding of the Javanese philosophy Sura Dira Jayaningrat Lebur Dening Pangastuti within technology-integrated cultural education enviroments. Methodology: A quantitative correlational method was implemented using a digital Likerts-scale questionnaire administered through an online platform. Data were analysed with SPSS using validity and reliability test, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple regression analysis to measure relationships among Bloon’s Taxonomy knowledge, character education knowledge, and digital-based philosophical understanding. Main Findings: The study reveals significant positive correlations between teachers’ knowledge of Bloom’s Taxonomy and their digital-based understanding of Javanese philosophy. Teachers’ knowledge of Indonesian character education also shows a strong and significant relationship. Combined, both variables explain 92,8% of the variance in teacher’s ability to interpret and internalize philosophical values within technology-supportes cultural learning. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a new framework linking pedagogical knowledge with digital cultural interpretation, demonstrating how technology enhances teachers’ ability to translate Bloom’s Taxonomy and character education technology by integrating local wisdom, digital media, and oedagogical theory into a coherent model for cultural preservation.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan media pembelajaran Pattern Sound Safari untuk mengenalkan konsep pola pada anak usia dini. Pengembangan dilakukan untuk melatih daya ingat pendengaran anak dalam memahami urutan pola melalui suara, sekaligus melengkapi jenis media pembelajaran yang sudah ada di sekolah agar anak tidak hanya belajar pola melalui benda fisik dan gambar, tetapi juga melalui suara. Metode yang digunakan adalah pengembangan dengan menggunakan model ADDIE. Subjek penelitian ini adalah siswa kelompok B di TK Dharma Wanita Jalen, Ponorogo. Data dikumpulkan melalui proses penilaian oleh ahli materi dan ahli media untuk menguji kelayakan alat, serta observasi langsung dan dokumentasi saat siswa melakukan uji coba penggunaan media di kelas. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada tahap analisis dan desain, pembelajaran pola sebelumnya diketahui hanya mengandalkan media visual sehingga anak kurang melatih daya ingat suara, sehingga dirancang media yang menggabungkan stik, suara hewan, kartu gambar, dan buku panduan sebagai petunjuk penggunaan media.
