Abstract

This study aims to develop a snakes and ladders game learning media with an animal theme using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model for early childhood at Kemala Bhayangkari Kindergarten in Waikabubak. The background of this study is the limited learning media that are interesting, interactive, and appropriate to the learning characteristics of early childhood. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data obtained through validation sheets, questionnaires, and feedback from design experts, media experts, material experts, colleagues, and students. Data analysis was carried out descriptively to assess the feasibility and practicality of the product. The validation results showed that the design experts gave a score of 95%, media experts 96%, material experts 73%, and colleagues 90%, all of which are in the very feasible category. User trials also showed a high level of practicality with a score of 94% in small groups, 86% in medium groups, and 88% in large groups. These findings indicate that the snakes and ladders game media is easy to use, interesting, and supports children's understanding of the learning material. This learning medium has been proven to increase children's enthusiasm, motivation, and engagement during the learning process. Overall, the research results confirm that the ADDIE-based Snakes and Ladders game is a suitable alternative for effective and enjoyable learning media in early childhood education.

Abstract

This paper aims to explore and analyze young mothers' experiences of using TikTok as a source of parenting knowledge. Using a mixed method approach, data was collected through google forms consisting of closed and open-ended questions. A total of 92 respondent mothers with young children participated in this study. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach and presented in a descriptive narrative. The results showed that most respondents found parenting content on TikTok helpful, and accessed it at flexible times to suit their daily routines. TikTok is considered superior to other social media because it presents information in a concise, practical and easy-to-understand style. Despite the high level of trust in influencers, the majority of mothers still verify information through other sources, reflecting active digital literacy. Some respondents stated that there has been a significant change in parenting. These results suggest that TikTok is not just an entertainment platform, but also serves as a relevant and adaptive informal learning space for young mothers. This research provides a snapshot of the shifting ways parents access and internalize parenting information in the digital age.

Abstract

Indonesian society falls into the category of low literacy activity, stagnating at a rate of 37.32. This indicates that there is still an urgent need to improve literacy across all layers of society, including early childhood. Read aloud has become one of the methods to enhance literacy development in early childhood. Thus, the researcher wants to determine the effectiveness of read aloud as a method for improving literacy in children aged 4-5 years at early childhood education (PAUD) schools in the city of Cilegon toward a golden Indonesia. This study employed a pre-experimental design. Data collection techniques included questionnaires, observations, and documentation. Hypothesis testing was conducted using a paired-sample t-test with SPSS 27. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the calculated t-value (46.142) is greater than the critical t-value (1.666), meaning that the read-aloud method is significantly effective in improving literacy among 4- to 5-year-old children at early childhood education (PAUD) schools in the city of Cilegon, contributing to the “Golden Indonesia” initiative. In practical terms, this study is expected to be of practical benefit to early childhood education (PAUD) teachers in Cilegon City in implementing the read-aloud method, encouraging PAUD institutions to further integrate the read-aloud method into classroom activities, and providing an adequate collection of storybooks. The practice of read-aloud by teachers in schools serves as a form of ongoing literacy stimulation. This study can serve as evidence-based input for policy formulation through the development of more targeted teacher training modules.
