Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of addiction to YouTube and TikTok platforms on early childhood. Using a qualitative literature review method, this research examines various literature related to the influence of social media on children’s cognitive, social-emotional, and psychological development. The results show that unsupervised usage may lead to vocabulary decline, disrupted social interaction, sleep disorders, and behavioral problems. On the other hand, when used with parental guidance, these platforms also have the potential to enhance children’s creativity, language comprehension, and curiosity. Data from APJII and Common Sense Media indicate high internet usage among early childhood children in Indonesia. Therefore, active parental involvement in regulating the duration and content accessed by children is crucial to avoid negative impacts and optimize the educational potential of these media.

Abstract

This systematic literature review (SLR) analyzes the benefits of role-playing activities for early childhood development, focusing on cognitive, social, and emotional domains. The study is grounded in the increasing need for effective and developmentally appropriate learning strategies in early childhood education. Role-playing is selected due to its interactive and imaginative nature, which fosters holistic growth in young learners. The review employs a qualitative method by synthesizing findings from 20 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2015 and 2024. These studies involved early childhood learners aged 3–6 years in various educational settings, including kindergartens and early childhood centers across Indonesia, the United States, and Finland. The results reveal that role-playing significantly improves children's verbal communication skills (increased by 35% in five studies), cooperative behavior (enhanced by 42% in seven studies), and emotional regulation (reported improvement in 60% of cases). Additionally, several sources report an increase in creativity and problem-solving abilities through role-play scenarios. The findings confirm that role-playing is a valuable pedagogical tool in early childhood education. In conclusion, the review highlights the importance of integrating structured role-play into early learning curricula to support comprehensive child development. Further empirical research is recommended to assess its long-term impact across diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

This study intents to improve the ability to recognize geometric shapes in 15 Group A children at TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal using an educational toy (APE) called “Geometric Fruit Satay.” The main issue in this study is the low level of children’s understanding of geometric shapes, as indicated by a pre-cycle average score of 1.50. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Elliot model (1991), conducted over two cycles. Data collection techniques included observation, documentation, and informal interviews, with descriptive quantitative data analysis. The results showed an increase in the average score of geometric shape recognition ability from 1.50 (pre-cycle) to 2.35 (Cycle I), and a significant increase to 3.20 in Cycle II. The highest improvement was in the indicator of classifying shapes by type, which increased by 1.93 points. These findings indicate that using concrete game-based APEs such as Geometric Fruit Satay effectively stimulates conceptual understanding through active motor and exploratory activities in children.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of YouTube content on sexuality education toward the critical thinking ability of children aged 5–6 years at TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal 14 Surabaya. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design. The subjects consisted of 30 children divided into two groups, experimental and control, each comprising 15 children. The experimental group took a pre-test, received treatment in the form of sexuality education videos for five sessions, and then a post-test. The control group only took the pre-test and post-test without treatment. Data were collected through observation using a critical thinking rubric validated by experts, and analyzed using an independent t-test. The results showed a significant difference between the two groups. The mean score of the experimental group increased from 50.63 to 83.33, while the control group experienced only minimal improvement. The significance value of 0.000 (<0.05) proves that educational YouTube media influences the improvement of early childhood critical thinking ability.
