Abstract

Focus is a fundamental cognitive ability that underlies successful learning in early childhood. This study aims to: (1) develop the FANZZLE learning media suitable for improving the focus of children aged 5–6 years; (2) examine the feasibility of the FANZZLE learning media based on expert validation; and (3) test the effectiveness of the media in enhancing children's focus. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The research subjects consisted of 29 children aged 5–6 years at TKIT Ar’rosyiid, divided into two groups: B1 (14 children) and B2 (15 children). Research instruments included a needs analysis interview guide, expert validation sheets, and observation sheets measuring children’s focus through four indicators: engagement duration, engagement intensity, resistance to distraction, and attentional flexibility. Data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis for needs assessment, feasibility percentage analysis for expert validation, and N-Gain analysis to measure effectiveness. The results showed that the FANZZLE media was categorized as “highly feasible” with an average validation score of 93.33%. The media also proved effective in improving children's focus, indicated by an increase in the mean score from 7.76 (pretest) to 12.62 (posttest) with an N-Gain score of 0.595 (moderate–high category). These findings indicate that FANZZLE learning media is both feasible and effective for improving the focus of children aged 5–6 years in early childhood education.

Abstract

This study aims to develop TAS LISA learning media (Tas Literasi Anak Sederhana dan Atraktif) using a Research and Development (R&D) approach to improve the beginning reading skills of early childhood learners. The study was motivated by the low level of beginning reading ability among kindergarten children, particularly in recognizing letters, associating letters with sounds, and reading simple syllables and words. In addition, the literacy learning media used in classrooms are generally conventional and provide limited opportunities for concrete, interactive learning experiences that align with the developmental characteristics of young children. Therefore, an innovative learning medium developed through a systematic research and development process is needed. This study employed an R&D method consisting of several stages: analysis, data collection, product design, design validation by material and media experts, design revision, product trial, product revision, usage trial, and final product revision. The research subjects were 20 children from Group B in a kindergarten. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and expert validation questionnaires. Data analysis used quantitative descriptive methods to determine product feasibility and improvement in children's beginning reading skills, and qualitative descriptive analysis to describe the development process and children's responses to the media. The results indicate that the TAS LISA learning media is feasible based on expert validation and effective in improving children's beginning reading abilities, including letter recognition, syllable reading, and simple word reading.

Abstract

Spatial intelligence is a fundamental ability that needs to be developed from an early age; however, its stimulation remains limited due to the lack of learning media that integrate visual, kinesthetic, and cognitive aspects. This study aims to: (1) develop the Cheerful Engklek Carpet game to stimulate spatial intelligence in early childhood, (2) examine the feasibility of the game, and (3) test its effectiveness in enhancing children’s spatial intelligence. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using a modified 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The subjects consisted of 48 children aged 5–6 years at TK Plus Tunas Rimba, Purwakarta Regency, divided into an experimental group (24 children) and a control group (24 children). Data were collected through expert validation, observation, interviews, and spatial intelligence tests, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (independent and paired sample t-tests). The results indicate that the developed game is highly feasible (4.65), practical (4.41), and well-implemented (95.6%). It is also highly effective, with a 49.6% improvement in the experimental group compared to 7.0% in the control group (p < 0.001; Cohen’s d = 2.92). In conclusion, the Cheerful Engklek Carpet game is highly feasible and effective in holistically stimulating spatial intelligence in early childhood.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Early Detection of Child Growth and Development Program (DDTK) at RA Bani Adam, Bekasi City using the CIPP model (context, input, process, product). The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data sources from the principal, teachers, parents, activity observations, and program documentation. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results of the study indicate that in the context aspect, the DDTK program was born from the institution's real need for objective data on child development and is aligned with the direction of SDIDTK, but is not yet supported by written SOPs. In the input aspect, the school has basic anthropometric tools and support from collaboration with the community health center, but the number of tools is limited, teachers have not received formal training, and screening instruments are not yet available independently. In the process aspect, physical measurements have been conducted monthly but not consistently across all classes, recording is still manual, and follow-up is not systematically scheduled. In the product aspect, the program helps detect delays, strengthens school-parent communication, and triggers early referrals, but longitudinal analysis and documentation of intervention results are not optimal. Overall, the DDTK program at RA Bani Adam is relevant and beneficial, but requires strengthening of standardization, teacher training, data integration, and sustainable follow-up to be more effective and sustainable.

Abstract

Phonological ability is an important foundation for early childhood reading and writing readiness, but learning in early childhood education often takes place conventionally and does not utilize play activities. This study aims to develop Engklek Literacy Media and test its feasibility and limited effectiveness in improving the phonological abilities of children aged 5–6 years. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model. The field test subjects were all children in group B at Telkom Rancaekek Kindergarten, consisting of Group B1 (28 children) and Group B2 (26 children). Both groups were positioned as two parallel implementation groups that both received media intervention. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and expert validation sheets, then analyzed descriptively and using N-Gain at the evaluation stage. The results showed that the media received a very feasible category from material experts (94%), media experts (91%), and language experts (92%) with an average feasibility of 92%. In the field test, the combined average score increased from 43 (51%) in the pretest to 59 (70%) in the posttest with an N-Gain of 39% in the moderate category. These findings indicate that the Engklek Literacy Media is feasible to use and has an indication of effectiveness in improving children's phonological abilities in the context of Telkom Rancaekek Kindergarten, although the interpretation of effectiveness needs to be done proportionally because the research design is still pre-experimental and the intervention duration is relatively short.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an emoji puzzle assisted by picture cards to improve the emotional intelligence of children aged 4–6 years. The background of the study indicates that some children at TK Cinta Ibu experience difficulties in identifying and expressing their emotions, while others are not yet able to recognize the emotions of their peers. The limited availability of learning media specifically designed to support emotional intelligence development has become a major challenge in early childhood education institutions. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Four-D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The define stage involved needs analysis through observation and interviews. The design stage produced a puzzle prototype representing eight basic emotions (happy, sad, angry, afraid, surprised, shy, proud, and disgusted) supported by contextual situation cards. The develop stage included expert validation and a limited trial using a one-group pretest–posttest design with 30 children (10 children aged 4–5 years and 20 children aged 5–6 years). Effectiveness was analyzed using the Normalized Gain (N-Gain). The results show that the emoji puzzle model is theoretically feasible, highly valid according to expert evaluation, and moderately effective in improving children’s emotional intelligence.
