Abstract

This study examines the influence of APE puzzle hopscotch on higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in children aged 4-6 years at PAUD IT ADAR Kalasan DIY. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the research included an experimental group receiving the APE puzzle hopscotch intervention and a control group without any intervention. Over four months, pretest and posttest assessments were conducted to evaluate HOTS in both groups. The research instruments measured indicators across analysis (C4), evaluation (C5), and creation (C6). Results revealed significant enhancements in the experimental group’s HOTS, with N-Gain scores showing moderate effectiveness. Statistical tests confirmed the intervention's impact, demonstrating significant differences in post-test scores between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that APE puzzle hopscotch effectively stimulates cognitive development in early childhood. Despite limitations such as a small sample size and short study duration, the study underscores the potential of interactive educational tools in enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Implications for educational practice include the integration of engaging tools into curricula to foster HOTS. Future research should address the current study's limitations, validate the findings across different settings, and explore the effects on other developmental areas. Additionally, longitudinal studies could provide deeper insights into the long-term benefits of such educational tools. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the importance of innovative teaching strategies in early childhood education, emphasizing the role of interactive play in cognitive growth.

Abstract

The curriculum is an important factor in organizing the teaching and learning process to achieve goals. One way to improve educational standards is to implement an effective and innovative curriculum in early childhood education institutions. This research aims to analyze the early childhood education curriculum in Singapore and Finland. The author uses a type of library research. In this research, the author used the data collection instrument by reviewing documents from several books, articles, journals, laws of the Republic of Indonesia, and the Singapore and Finnish curriculum frameworks as literature that supports this research. Data analysis starts with data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The results of the research show that the education curriculum in Singapore and Finland is included in the category of an advanced education system in terms of the welfare of society or its population (education and economy), the quality of educators or teachers, and the focus on children's future development. The novelty of the analysis results is that in terms of review, it relates to curriculum objectives, content/material, learning media (facilities and infrastructure), learning strategies, and evaluation.
