Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of nature-based science learning on the cognitive development of early childhood students at TK IT Nada Ashobah Wiyung Surabaya. The research method used is a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population in this study consists of all group B children at TK IT Nada Ashobah, totaling 15 children. The sampling technique used is saturated sampling. The sample consists of 15 group B children. The results show a significant improvement in children's understanding of plant parts after the treatment. The pretest indicated that most children were in the "Starting to Develop" category, while the posttest showed an increase, with the majority of children in the "Developing Very Well" category. The Wilcoxon test showed an Asymp (2-tailed) value of 0.001, indicating that nature-based science learning has a significant impact on children's cognitive development. The study concludes that the nature-based learning approach is effective in enhancing children's understanding and interest in science and recommends integrating this method into the early childhood education curriculum.

Abstract

An effective learning method to stimulate children's cognitive abilities and creativity is simple science experiments, such as ecoprint activities. Ecoprint is a printing technique using natural materials such as leaves and flowers, which can enhance children's cognitive abilities and creativity. The purpose of this study is to improve the cognitive abilities and creativity of Group B children through the enjoyable activity of ecoprint. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach and was conducted at TK IT Nada Ashobah Wiyung Surabaya, with Group B children as the subjects. Data was obtained through observation and interviews with Group B teachers, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman data analysis model, which consists of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results of the study show that ecoprint activities can improve children's cognitive abilities and creativity. Children learn to recognize the characteristics of various plants, observe, analyze, and combine leaf shapes to create interesting pictures. This activity also develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as increases children's curiosity and exploration.
