Abstract

This research aims to strengthen the classroom environment to support early childhood learning activities by analyzing the factors of the classroom environment that do not support learning activities, as well as to identify and understand the factors that influence the early childhood learning environment at PKK Maguwoharjo Kindergarten. The research method used is qualitative, with a case study approach through direct observation and interviews with teachers and parents. The results show that several factors in the classroom environment do not support early childhood learning activities, including failures in classroom arrangement that interfere with children's focus and concentration, lack of relevant learning resources, lack of variety and diversity of learning materials, lack of social interaction and collaboration in learning activities, lack of individualized attention to children, and physical discomforts such as noise, uncomfortable temperatures, lack of natural lighting, and poor air quality.  This research provides practical recommendations that can be implemented to improve the quality of the learning environment, especially in the management of the classroom environment for early childhood at PKK Maguwoharjo Kindergarten.Keywords - Learning Activities, Early Childhood, Classroom Environmental Factors, Less Supportive Environment, Classroom Environment Management

Abstract

This study aims to explore the provision of rewards in learning as an effort to increase early childhood learning activity. In particular, this study examines the efforts made by teachers in giving rewards through praise, awards, gifts, and signs of respect. The research used descriptive qualitative data collection through documentation, documentation, and structured and free interviews with four teachers. The collected data was analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which included three stages: data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that various forms of rewards significantly increase children's learning activity. Praise and rewards provide a valuable sense of recognition to increase children's motivation and confidence. Simple gifts, such as snacks and stationery, create a fun learning atmosphere, while signs of respect, such as verbal acknowledgments and claps, reinforce the child's social engagement. This study concludes that the application of various reward strategies is effective in creating a conducive learning environment, encouraging children to participate more actively in the learning process. This finding is expected to be a reference for educators in designing innovative and responsive learning methods to children's needs.
