Abstract

Background: Raudhatul Athfal (RA) teachers often face challenges in developing effective teaching modules aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum due to limited training and difficulties in translating curriculum principles into classroom practice. Aims: This community service aims to strengthen RA teachers’ capacity in developing teaching modules based on the Merdeka Curriculum. Methods: This program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach through mentoring activities conducted offline over two days. The program involved 52 RA teachers in a series of activities including material delivery, hands-on module design, and reflective discussions. Data were collected through observations, interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and questionnaires. Result: The results indicate a significant improvement in teachers’ understanding and skills in developing teaching modules aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. Teachers demonstrated better comprehension of curriculum structure, learning outcomes (CP), and the formulation of learning objectives (TP) and teaching modules (ATP). In addition, their ability to design structured and contextualized modules improved, particularly in aligning learning activities with student needs and integrating appropriate learning media. The evaluation results showed a high level of participant satisfaction, with an average score of 3.95 categorized as “Good,” indicating that the mentoring activities were well-received. Teachers also showed increased confidence in implementing the curriculum in classroom practice, including the use of technology. Furthermore, the participatory and hands-on approach enabled active engagement, leading to deeper understanding and improved practical skills. Conclusion: The mentoring program effectively enhanced RA teachers’ capacity in designing innovative and contextualized teaching modules aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum, making it a practical and replicable model for similar educational programs.

Abstract

This study aims to develop Fun Polly Games, a Practical Life–based learning media designed to enhance the independence of children aged five to six years in Early Childhood Education settings. The development process followed the ADDIE model—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation and employed a mixed-methods approach integrating qualitative techniques such as observations, interviews, and expert validation with quantitative feasibility assessments and comparative testing. The needs analysis indicated a wide gap in children’s independence, as many were not yet able to carry out basic self-help tasks due to the predominance of academic-oriented activities and teacher-centered instructional practices. Teachers also reported that the lack of appropriate learning media hindered efforts to cultivate independence. Expert validation confirmed that Fun Polly Games met the criteria for feasibility, while field trials showed strong positive responses from both children and teachers. The implementation of this media led to improved engagement, richer social interaction, and greater autonomy in performing daily tasks in meaningful contexts. Overall, Fun Polly Games is considered feasible, practical, and contextually relevant as a learning medium capable of strengthening independence-building practices in Early Childhood Education. Aligned with Montessori principles and responsive to contemporary educational needs, this media offers promising potential for supporting long-term independence and character development in young children.
