<![CDATA[Understanding time concepts remains a significant challenge for young children, particularly in reading analog clocks and applying temporal concepts in everyday situations. This difficulty is largely attributed to the abstract nature of time and the limited availability of concrete, innovative learning media in early childhood education settings. This study aimed to develop an innovative analog clock learning medium made from recycled materials to enhance young children's understanding of time concepts and evaluate its feasibility for classroom implementation. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE instructional design model. The participants consisted of 11 children aged 5–6 years (Group B) enrolled at TK TAUD Luqmanul Hakim. Data were collected through classroom observations and expert validation questionnaires involving media, content, and language specialists. The developed learning medium demonstrated excellent feasibility, receiving validation scores of 96% from the media expert, 100% from the content expert, and 100% from the language expert. Field testing further indicated that the children achieved a Very Well Developed level of performance, with an average achievement score of 88%. These findings suggest that the recycled-material-based analog clock learning medium is highly feasible and effective in improving preschool children's understanding of time concepts. The study highlights the potential of sustainable, hands-on learning media to transform abstract concepts into meaningful learning experiences in early childhood education.]]>
