Abstract

Purpose – Cooperation skills are essential for children’s social-emotional development. However, observations at Al-Falah Islamic Kindergarten, Jambi City, indicated that children aged 5–6 years demonstrated low levels of cooperation, including limited teamwork, sharing behavior, and compliance with group rules. Although play-based learning has been widely applied in early childhood education, limited studies have examined the effectiveness of flag relay games in improving cooperation skills. Based on sociocultural learning theory, this study aimed to determine the effectiveness of flag relay games in improving children’s cooperation skills. Design/methods/approach – This Classroom Action Research (CAR) involved 11 children in Group B of Al-Falah Islamic Kindergarten, Jambi City. The study was conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. Findings – The results showed a significant improvement in children’s cooperation skills following the implementation of the flag relay game. Classical completeness increased from 36.36% in the pre-cycle stage to 63.64% in Cycle I and reached 90.91% in Cycle II, exceeding the predetermined success criterion of ≥76%. Research implications/limitations – The study was limited to a small number of participants in one kindergarten setting. Nevertheless, the findings suggest that flag relay games can effectively promote cooperation skills and social interaction among young children. Originality/value – This study highlights the use of flag relay games as an interactive and collaborative learning strategy to enhance cooperation skills in early childhood education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of the traditional dhakon game and its impact on the cognitive and social-emotional development of early childhood at TK Pertiwi 5B. The main problem underlying this research is the low concentration of children, lack of basic counting skills, and the high level of egocentrism due to excessive smartphone use at home. The approach used in this study is descriptive qualitative with field research methods. The research subjects consisted of the Principal, classroom teachers, and 15 children of Group B at TK Pertiwi 5B. Data collection techniques were carried out purely through direct observation and in-depth interviews. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model, while data validity was tested using source triangulation. The results showed that the consistent implementation of the traditional dhakon game was proven to be highly effective in shifting children's dependence on smartphones and providing balanced stimulation. Children's development experienced a significant increase, where they are now able to recognize number symbols in a fun way, become more focused, honest, orderly queue waiting for their turn, and control emotions by accepting defeat gracefully. In conclusion, habituation through concrete traditional game media can effectively shape children's logical thinking and positive character from an early age.
