Abstract

Science education for toddlers is crucial in building early scientific understanding and fostering curiosity. However, several challenges persist in its implementation, such as teaching methods that are not well-suited to early childhood characteristics, limited exploratory facilities, and a lack of understanding among parents and educators regarding effective teaching strategies. This study analyzes various approaches that can be used to teach science to toddlers effectively and engagingly. The methods discussed include inquiry-based learning, hands-on activities, sensory exploration, construction play, and nature observation. Additionally, connecting science with daily life is an essential strategy to help children understand the relevance of scientific knowledge in the real world. The analysis results indicate that exploration-based and hands-on learning approaches enhance children's understanding of scientific concepts more effectively than traditional instructional methods. The active role of parents and educators in guiding children, providing reflective questions, and creating a supportive learning environment significantly influences learning success. With the right strategies, children grasp scientific concepts and develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and an early love for science.

Abstract

Numeracy ability is a basic ability that students must have to face the progress of the times. This ability guides students to analyze and solve mathematical problems and problems in everyday life. Even though it is very important, the numeracy skills of students in Indonesia are still very low. Therefore, efforts need to be made to improve and adjust strategies in the learning process so that students' numeracy abilities can increase. One effort is to use learning media. This research aims to find out what learning media are used by teachers to improve the numeracy skills of elementary school students, especially at the Tahfidzul Quran An-Nahl Mataram Integrated Islamic Elementary School. This research method is through teacher interviews and learning observations for 5 months in the odd semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. There are several media used by teachers in the process of improving numeracy skills at the Tahfidzul Quran An-Nahl Mataram Integrated Islamic Elementary School, including the addition and subtraction board, an introduction to measuring instruments board, rupiah specimen currency media, and a long unit ladder prop. All media used by teachers can increase student activity and involvement, learning outcomes, and student learning motivation.
