Abstract

Background. Learning in early childhood is an important foundation in the development of cognitive abilities, especially in numeracy skills. However, challenges in teaching the concept of counting effectively are often faced by educators. Interesting learning media, such as number smart boards, are expected to help overcome this obstacle. This media is designed to make it easier for children to understand the concept of numbers and basic operations of mathematics through fun and interactive methods. Purpose. This study aims to test the effectiveness of the use of number smart board learning media in improving numeracy skills in early childhood. In addition, this study also focuses on how this media affects children's motivation to learn and whether there is a significant difference between the use of this media and conventional learning methods. Method. This study uses a quantitative approach with an experimental design. The subjects of the study were children aged 4-6 years in a kindergarten who were divided into two groups, namely an experimental group that used the media of a number smart board and a control group that used traditional learning methods. Data collection was carried out through observations, numeracy tests, and questionnaires to measure children's motivation to learn. Results. The results showed that children who learned to use a number smart board experienced a significant improvement in numeracy compared to the control group. In addition, the motivation to learn in the experimental group was also seen to be higher. Conclusion. The use of number smart board learning media has been proven to be effective in improving early childhood numeracy skills. This media is also able to increase children's learning motivation, making it an effective alternative to conventional learning methods.

Abstract

Curriculum alterations have become a common occurrence, coincident with advances in technology and informational resources. This is designed to maintain alignment with the current educational landscape and to ensure relevance to contemporary times. Research is a scientific process that is formal and intensive. This is because it refers to established rules, cycles, and ways of representation that are necessary to obtain results that are recognized and beneficial to human life. The methodology employed in this research study was a systematic review of the literature. This approach was utilized to describe and elucidate the fundamental tenets of qualitative, quantitative research, as well as research and development initiatives associated with the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum. This result of the study is the concepts of qualitative, quantitative, and research & development research—along with their respective characteristics, types, and applications—offer significant benefits in the realm of education, particularly in the context of curriculum development. These research methodologies, which are commonly utilized in educational settings, align with the 2013 curriculum guidelines, facilitating studies or research related to education, thereby enabling more effective and impactful outcomes.
