Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of drawing and coloring activities on improving early childhood cognitive abilities. Drawing and coloring activities are considered as fun and creative activities for children, but they also have the potential to improve their cognitive abilities. The research method used was an experiment with a control group. Fifty children aged 4-6 years were randomly selected and divided into two groups, namely the experimental group which did drawing and coloring activities, and the control group which did not. The experimental group was given a series of drawing and coloring tasks designed to engage various cognitive aspects such as color recognition, hand-eye coordination, problem solving, and spatial understanding. Meanwhile, the control group was involved in daily routine activities without any special intervention. Before and after the intervention, both groups were given cognitive ability tests which included tests of memory, problem solving, and understanding of basic concepts. The results showed that the group of children who did drawing and coloring activities experienced a significant increase in cognitive abilities compared to the control group. They showed better improvements in memory tests, problem solving, and understanding basic concepts. In addition, children in the experimental group also showed an increase in their creativity and imagination. These findings indicate that drawing and coloring activities can be an effective method of improving early childhood cognitive abilities. Therefore, it is suggested that these activities be integrated in the early childhood education curriculum to enrich their learning experience and promote optimal cognitive development.

Abstract

Dance is one of the essential tools in supporting the development of early childhood, especially in motor, social, emotional, and creative aspects. This study aims to examine the dance teaching methods applied at PAUD/TK Syawal and their influence on children's development. This topic was chosen due to the lack of integration of dance education in many early childhood institutions. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of two dance teachers, several students, and parents involved in learning activities. The results showed that teachers at PAUD/TK Syawal taught dance creatively using familiar children’s songs, simple movements, and rhythmic musical instruments. These activities were proven to enhance children’s activeness, confidence, movement coordination, and expressive ability. This study highlights the importance of dance as an integral part of early childhood learning that is not only entertaining but also educational. In conclusion, appropriate dance teaching methods have significant potential in shaping children's character and holistic skills.
