Abstract

The rapid growth of digital media, particularly short-video platforms such as TikTok, has significantly influenced early childhood music consumption patterns and has the potential to shape children’s musical interests and preferences. This study aims to examine the effect of exposure to digital short songs on TikTok on early childhood interest in traditional children’s songs. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was employed. The study involved 25 children aged 4-6 years who were enrolled in Early Childhood Education (PAUD) institutions and selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires completed by parents and teachers, measuring the level of exposure to digital short songs and children’s interest in traditional children’s songs. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression analysis. The findings reveal that exposure to digital short songs via TikTok has a statistically significant effect on early childhood interest in traditional children’s songs, as indicated by a significance value of 0.046 (p < 0.05). These results suggest that digital media functions as an informal learning environment that can influence children’s musical preferences. However, the impact of digital media exposure largely depends on the quality of content and the presence of appropriate guidance from adults. Therefore, the purposeful and educational use of TikTok may serve as an adaptive strategy to revitalize traditional children’s songs, ensuring their relevance for young learners in the digital era while preserving local cultural values.

Abstract

Language development is an important aspect of early childhood growth because it is closely related to children's communication skills, thinking abilities, and social interactions. The family environment, as a form of nonformal education, plays a crucial role in providing language stimulatio1n for children, one of which is through storytelling activities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the storytelling method by parents in developing early childhood language skills within the family environment. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research subjects consisted of two parents who have children aged 4-6 years and actively conduct storytelling activities at home. The study was conducted on Tuasan Street, Sidorejo Hilir, Medan Tembung District, Medan City. Data collection techniques included observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that regularly conducted storytelling activities can increase children's involvement in communication processes, enrich vocabulary, and build children's confidence in expressing their opinions. The use of media such as illustrated storybooks and storytelling delivered with expressive gestures and engaging intonation also enhances children's attention during the activity. Although there are challenges such as limited time and limited variations of storytelling media, storytelling remains a simple and effective method to support early childhood language development within the family environment.
