<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the effect of the traditional congklak game on the problem-solving abilities of early childhood students at TK Kartika, Gorontalo City. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) involving 30 children as participants. Data were collected through observation and tests to measure students’ problem-solving abilities before and after the implementation of the congklak game in the learning process. The data obtained were then analyzed using the t-test to determine the significance of the effect. The results showed a notable improvement in children’s problem-solving abilities, as indicated by the increase in the average pretest score from 55.4 to 82.7 in the posttest. The statistical analysis revealed that the calculated t-value of 6.25 was higher than the t-table value of 2.06, indicating a significant effect of the congklak game on children’s problem-solving abilities. In addition, learning mastery increased from 35% to 85%. These findings indicate that the traditional congklak game is effective in developing logical thinking and problem-solving skills in early childhood education.]]>
