Development of Pop-Up Book Media to Enhance Interpersonal Intelligence of 5–6-Year-Old Children at TK Kritika IV – 69, Probolinggo City ABSTRACTInterpersonal intelligence is crucial for early childhood development as it plays a key role in social and emotional growth. However, conventional teaching methods are often ineffective in fostering these skills. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of Pop-Up Book media in enhancing the interpersonal intelligence of children aged 5–6 years at TK Kartika IV–69 Kota Probolinggo. The research employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, involving validation by subject matter experts, media experts, and teachers, followed by testing on 30 children using a quasi-experimental design. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. The results indicate that the experimental group showed a significantly higher improvement compared to the control group (p = 0.001). These findings suggest that Pop-Up Books are more effective than conventional methods and can be implemented as an innovative educational tool for early childhood learning. ]]>
