Abstract

This study investigates the impact of FinSOLEkid Indonesia, a game-based educational application, on financial literacy among early childhood learners aged 5-6 years. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with two experimental groups, one using a PC version and the other an Android version, the study aims to determine the effectiveness of digital platforms in enhancing financial understanding. Subjects were chosen through purposive sampling based on their interaction with money, comprehension of in-game instructions, and ability to use digital devices. Data collection involved multiple-choice tests tailored with game elements and visual aids to suit the developmental stage of the participants. The analysis, conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test and N-Gain scores, revealed that the PC version of FinSOLEkid Indonesia was more effective in augmenting financial knowledge than its Android counterpart and conventional methods. However, the suitability of the application for children under the age of 5-6 remains questionable due to the presence of written instructions. The study highlights the importance of selecting appropriate educational media and content for early childhood. It suggests that such technology-enhanced learning tools, while effective, need to be tailored to the developmental needs of the learners. These findings offer insights into the potential of digital learning platforms in early childhood education, emphasizing the need for age-appropriate design and content in educational technology.

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of integrating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) project-based learning (PjBL) with Ecoprint activities on developing creative thinking skills in early childhood. A mixed-methods concurrent embedded design was adopted, focusing on preschool children aged 4-6 years from two educational institutions in Karangsari Village, Cirebon District. The study engaged 30 participants in Ecoprint activities, utilizing natural materials to create prints on paper and fabric. These activities were framed within the STEAM PjBL methodology, encompassing stages of Reflection, Research, Discovery, Application, and Communication to facilitate a comprehensive earning experience. Qualitative data, collected through interviews with educators and observations of the Ecoprint projects, were complemented by quantitative assessments of the children's development of creative thinking skills. This dual approach allowed for a rich, multifaceted analysis of the learning processes and outcomes. The creative thinking abilities of the participants were evaluated using a standardized rating scale aligned with criteria set forth by the Ministry of Education and Culture, tracking progress from initial baselines to post-intervention stages. The findings indicate a notable enhancement in creative thinking among the children, with a significant majority advancing from lower levels of creative dev. Children can select and sort the base color materials from the collected leaves. At this stage, the potential of STEAM PjBL, combined with hands-on, environmentally focused artistic activities like Ecoprint, is to enrich early childhood education by fostering creative, innovative thinking. The study's implications extend to curriculum development, advocating for including interdisciplinary, experiential learning strategies that blend scientific inquiry with artistic creativity. However, the research is limited by its scope and its participants' demographic and geographic characteristics. Future studies are recommended to explore the scalability of this approach and its long-term impacts across diverse educational settings, potentially offering valuable insights into the role of integrated STEAM education in nurturing holistic cognitive development in young learners.

Abstract

This research explores the Reyog Theater Suitcase (Koper Teater Reyog) as an innovative educational tool for introducing the cultural heritage of Ponorogo to early childhood education. Utilizing a Research and Development (R&D) approach and the ADDIE model, which includes the Analyze, Design, Development, Implement, and Evaluation stages, the study employed a Posttest-only experimental design with nonequivalent groups. An initial needs analysis revealed a scarcity of practical storytelling media that incorporate local narratives, such as Reyog Ponorogo, despite its prevalence in local education. Consequently, the Reyog Theater Suitcase was developed, featuring a transparent display panel, barcode-activated musical features, and manageable cultural figurines. Data collection involved expert validation through questionnaires, teacher surveys, and authentic assessments using qualitative and quantitative analyses. The findings indicated that classes using the Reyog Theater Suitcase achieved significantly better outcomes in cultural education than traditional picture books. After two rounds of feedback and revisions from experts, the quality and educational appropriateness of the product were enhanced. Hypothesis testing in both small and large-scale settings resulted in p-values of 0.000 and 0.002, respectively, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis; this confirmed that the experimental group exposed to the Reyog culture through the suitcase differed significantly from the control group using conventional media. Integrating physical and digital storytelling elements advances the discourse on delivering educational content in the digital era. However, focusing on a specific cultural narrative might limit its application to similar educational settings. Further research is recommended to evaluate its broader applicability in diverse educational environments. This study underscores the importance of innovative storytelling media that integrate local cultures, offering potential pathways to enrich global early childhood education.

Abstract

Education at early childhood education (PAUD) Sanggar Anak Alam (SALAM) in Yogyakarta focuses on liberating and holistic development, nurturing students' faith, character, health, knowledge, independence, creativity, and responsibility through a research-based approach centered on nature and individual talents. Unlike traditional schools, SALAM, often called a 'school of life' or 'life laboratory,’ emphasizes experiential learning in a natural setting, aligning education with each student's unique interests and abilities. This study aims to analyze how the concept and practice of independent education are applied at PAUD Sanggar Anak Alam Yogyakarta. Employing a descriptive-qualitative approach, the research investigates how this educational philosophy translates into practice, emphasizing critical thinking, autonomy, and humanization. Through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, the study captures the perspectives of educators, administrators, and other stakeholders. Key findings include the integration of Freire's concepts into pedagogical practices, such as fostering egalitarian educator-student relationships, prioritizing dialogue, and embedding ethics in the curriculum. The study also examines the practical implications of this approach, highlighting the roles of educators as facilitators and the importance of nurturing environmental awareness and critical thinking from an early age. While the study's findings affirm the potential of Freire's model in early childhood settings, its context-specific nature and focus on a single institution necessitate caution in generalizing the results. Consequently, the research underscores the need for further exploration in diverse educational contexts. The study's implications extend to educational policy and practice, advocating a shift towards more participatory, student-centered, and dialogue-driven learning environments. This research contributes to the discourse on global educational reform by demonstrating the transformative power of liberatory education in fostering egalitarian and humanizing educational experiences.
