Abstract

This study aims to improve the English vocabulary mastery of Group B children (aged 5–6 years) at TK Bhakti Siwi through guess-the-word games based on audio-visual media. The research background stems from the children’s limited vocabulary, characterized by low interest, participation, and ability to mention and understand simple words. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach following the Kemmis and McTaggart model over two cycles, involving 10 children (4 boys and 6 girls). Data were collected through observation, documentation, and informal interviews, and analyzed qualitatively and descriptively by comparing the results of the pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II. The findings showed a significant improvement. In the pre-cycle, the average achievement was 0%, with nearly all children unable to name or understand vocabulary correctly. After Cycle I, the achievement increased to 20%, though not yet evenly distributed. In Cycle II, the achievement reached 80%, exceeding the minimum criterion in which at least 75% of children were categorized as A (Good). Almost all children were able to mention, understand, and use simple English words with more accurate pronunciation and confidence. The application of this medium also enhanced motivation, active participation, and enthusiasm, making it a suitable, interactive, and enjoyable strategy for English learning in early childhood education.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the basic writing skills of children aged 4-5 years through collage activities using rubber seeds at TK Islam Al-Husein. The research employs the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method using the Kemmis & McTaggart model, implemented in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 12 children from Group A, with data collection techniques involving observation, documentation, and informal interviews.The results show a significant increase from the pre-cycle to cycle II. In the pre-cycle, no children (0%) achieved the minimal "Developing as Expected (BSH)" category. After Cycle I, the achievement rose to 33.33% of children in the BSH category. In Cycle II, 75.00% had reached the minimal category, with details as follows: Developing Well (BDB) at 33.33% (4 children), Developing as Expected (BSH) at 41.67% (5 children), and Starting to Develop (MB) at 25.00% (3 children). This improvement reflects the effectiveness of the rubber seed collage activity in training hand-eye coordination, strengthening fine motor skills, and fostering children's motivation to learn to write. Thus, the collage method using rubber seeds can be recommended as a creative learning medium to stimulate pre-writing skills in early childhood.
