Abstract

Alphabet and counting skills are fundamental components in the development of early childhood literacy and numeracy. However, many children aged 4–5 are only able to memorize letters and numbers without understanding their concrete forms and meanings. This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of PAMIN (Interactive Magnetic Board) as a learning media to enhance alphabet and counting skills in early childhood. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), and was conducted at TK Dharmawanita Tawangsari 2, Sidoarjo. The study involved 23 children in Group A (aged 4–5 years). The instruments used included observation sheets, skill tests, and expert validation questionnaires. The results showed that PAMIN is feasible to use, based on validation by subject matter and media experts. Moreover, there was a significant improvement in both alphabet and counting abilities, with an average N-Gain score of 0.81 (classified as high). PAMIN proved to be effective as it integrates enjoyable multisensory learning through a combination of visual, manipulative, and singing methods. This study concludes that PAMIN is an innovative learning media and is recommended to support interactive learning processes in early childhood education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of natural material-based ecoprint activities on the fine motor skills of of 5–6 year old children. A mixed methods approach was employed using a quasi-experimental design. The research subjects consisted of 28 children from Group B at State Kindergarten of 8 Wita Ponda, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received treatment through ecoprint activities for ten days, while the control group engaged in regular activities without similar interventions. Data were collected through fine motor skills tests (pretest and posttest), observations, documentation, and interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test and N-Gain Score, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the fine motor skills of children in the experimental group compared to the control group, with a p-value < 0.05 and an average N-Gain Score of 68.4%, categorized as moderately effective. Interviews with teachers and the principal affirmed that ecoprint activities provided enjoyable learning experiences, enhanced hand and finger coordination, and fostered children’s environmental awareness. Therefore, ecoprint is considered a viable alternative learning method to holistically develop fine motor skills in early childhood education.
