Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of innovative interactive learning media on social-emotional skill development in preschool-aged children. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research compared social-emotional growth between an experimental group that engaged with interactive media and a control group that used traditional storybooks. Six key social-emotional skills were assessed: empathy, emotional regulation, cooperation, communication, conflict resolution, and self-awareness. Results indicated significant improvements in the experimental group across all skill parameters, with the greatest gains in communication and conflict resolution. Independent t-tests revealed that the experimental group’s progress was significantly greater than that of the control group, with large Cohen’s d effect sizes underscoring the practical relevance of these outcomes. Qualitative feedback from educators and parents further supported these findings, emphasizing how interactive media fostered active engagement and offered opportunities for children to practice social skills in real-time scenarios. This study highlights the effectiveness of interactive media as a tool for early childhood social-emotional learning and recommends further exploration of its potential across varied educational settings.

Abstract

Rapid environmental degradation in urban areas has intensified the demand for educational strategies that can foster sustained ecological engagement among marginalized youth. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a hybrid intervention integrating a mobile learning application, JawaraEco, with eco-facilitator coaching in enhancing multidimensional ecological engagement. An experimental design was implemented, involving 232 urban youth from four densely populated subdistricts in Jakarta, randomly assigned to either an experimental group (receiving access to the app and coaching) or a control group (no intervention). Data were collected through in-app behavioral metrics and a validated ecological engagement scale, encompassing cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and continuity dimensions. Statistical analyses, including paired and independent samples t-tests as well as two-way ANOVA, revealed significantly greater gains across all dimensions in the experimental group. These findings demonstrate that combining mobile learning with structured human facilitation fosters more robust and sustained ecological behaviors. The study contributes practical insights for scalable implementation in schools, community programs, and local governance, while also offering theoretical support for technology-supported, socially embedded environmental learning ecosystems.
