Abstract

The attention span of early childhood children is a critical factor in forming their developmental foundation, encompassing physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth. Informal interviews with classroom teachers reveal that students struggle to maintain attention during instruction, often displaying behaviors such as restlessness and lack of focus immediately after the lesson begins. This thesis aims to investigate the impact of internal and external factors on the attention span among Kindergarten 3 students at Sekolah XYZ, focusing on regular classroom settings and specialized classes (music and art). This research employs a case study method by combining observations, interviews, and documentation to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issue. The findings of this research include a limited direct exploration within the classroom and the type of curriculum currently used, which are reasons for the low attention span of Kindergarten 3 students. This study highlights the novelty of tactile learning approaches to enhance attention span. To expand these findings, future research is expected to consider comparative studies across Yayasan XYZ network, investigating the impact of direct exploration and different educational approaches on the attention and learning outcomes of students in specialist classes. Abstrak bahasa Indonesia Rentang perhatian anak usia dini adalah faktor kritis dalam pembentukan dasar perkembangan mereka, mencakup pertumbuhan fisik, kognitif, sosial, dan emosional. Wawancara informal dengan guru-guru kelas mengungkapkan bahwa murid kesulitan untuk mempertahankan perhatian selama instruksi, sering menunjukkan perilaku seperti gelisah dan ketidakfokusan segera setelah pembelajaran dimulai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki dampak dari faktor internal dan eksternal terhadap rentang perhatian di kalangan murid Kindergaten 3 di Sekolah XYZ, berfokus pada setting kelas reguler dan khusus (musik dan seni). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kasus dengan menggabungkan observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi untuk memberikan pemahaman komprehensif tentang isu tersebut. Hasil dari penelitian ini ialah eksplorasi langsung yang terbatas dalam kelas, juga jenis kurikulum yang digunakan saat ini yang menjadi alasan rendahnya rentang perhatian siswa TK 3. Penelitian ini menyoroti kebaruan dari pendekatan pembelajaran taktil untuk meningkatkan rentang perhatian. Untuk memperluas temuan ini, penelitian masa depan diharapkan mempertimbangkan studi perbandingan di seluruh jaringan Yayasan XYZ, menyelidiki dampak eksplorasi langsung dan pendekatan pendidikan yang berbeda terhadap perhatian dan hasil belajar murid di kelas-kelas khusus.

Abstract

The current rapid development of science and technology and the limitations of face-to-face learning during the Covid 19 pandemic, have required online learning. This affects the length of screen time, especially in the early childhood stages. The impact of online learning and increased screen time in early childhood needs to be investigated to become a reference for learning methods and strategies for both teachers and parents. This study was conducted by comparing some of the literature on online learning and screen time in early childhood. This study shows that the positive impact of online learning is that it allows children to be able to learn from anywhere and at any time, increases the time and cost efficiency, and allows children to have a wealth of unique learning experiences. While the negative impacts are the uneven quality of internet connections, especially in remote areas, limited access to learning tools to support online learning processes, limited digital skills of children and teachers, and limited interaction between teachers and children. The side effects of excessive amounts of screen time in early childhood can be detrimental to physical and mental health, causing speech delays, and limiting opportunities to develop social skills.
