Abstract

Early childhood can be categorized into three different groups, namely children aged 0–2 years, children aged 3–5 years, and children aged 6–8 years. Recognizing letter shapes is the foundation of reading activities; therefore, it is important for parents and teachers to provide stimulation in recognizing letter shapes in children so that it can serve as preparation for the next level of education. This study aims to determine the feasibility of developing Quiet Book media on the ability of early childhood to recognize the letters “b” and “d,” and to determine the effectiveness of the developed Quiet Book media on the ability of early childhood to recognize the letters “b” and “d.” The research used the Research and Development (R&D) method. The product development design in this study referred to the ADDIE model developed by Branch. The research results showed Sig. value of 0.001 < 0.05, thus H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted. This means there is a significant difference between pretest and posttest results, so it can be concluded that the Quiet Book learning media is effective in improving early literacy skills of children aged 4–5 years, particularly in recognizing the letters “b” and “d".

Abstract

Problems concerning moral values among early childhood learners in school settings include dishonest acts such as deceiving friends, lying, taking belongings without permission, damaging peers’ toys and denying responsibility, as well as displaying domineering behavior toward others. Based on these issues, this study aims to examine the effect of strengthening moral values through the use of prophet story e-books among children aged 5–6 years. The study involved a population of 30 children, with the research sample consisting of children aged 5–6 years at TK Pertiwi 2 Dadi, Plaosan District, Magetan Regency, East Java. The research was conducted in May 2025. Data collection techniques included observation, documentation, and questionnaires. A quantitative approach was applied using an experimental method with a pre-experimental design, namely a one-group pretest-posttest research design. The findings revealed that strengthening moral values using prophet story e-books proved highly effective. This is evidenced by a significant increase in the mean score from 120.83 in the pretest to 141.60 in the posttest, indicating an improvement of 20.77 points or approximately 17.2%. It can therefore be concluded that the use of prophet story e-books has a significant impact on strengthening moral values in children aged 5–6 years.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the lack of learning media and the absence of materials that support early childhood understanding of distinguishing the letters “b” and “d” as a foundation of language education. The research aimed to develop Flapbook media to improve the ability of children aged 5–6 years in recognizing the letters “b” and “d,” as well as to test its validity and effectiveness. The method used was Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implement, Evaluate). The subjects were 30 children aged 5–6 years at TK Kemala Bhayangkari 1 Surabaya. Data collection techniques included questionnaires and observation, while data analysis employed the Mann-Whitney test. The Flapbook was designed in A4 size. Validation tests by material and media experts indicated that the Flapbook is feasible for use. The results showed Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) < 0.001 < 0.05, meaning the Flapbook was effective in improving children’s ability to recognize “b” and “d.” Repeated activities supported this improvement, suggesting its integration into early childhood curricula.

Abstract

Early Childhood Education (ECE) is a crucial stage for developing expressive language, which is strongly influenced by stimulation and the learning environment. This study aimed to enhance the expressive language skills of children aged 5–6 years at TK Insan Cendikia–Legok through the role-play method. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis & Taggart spiral model consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection over three cycles. Each cycle included three meetings with themes such as doctor, market vendor, and fruit and vegetable seller. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, documentation, and field notes, then analyzed using descriptive percentages and qualitative verification. The results indicated significant improvement: from only 2 children developing as expected initially, to 3 in cycle I (50.39%), 6 in cycle II (67.18%), and 8 in cycle III (79.29%). Role-play proved effective in fostering vocabulary, sentence structure, intonation, expression, and social interaction, while also boosting confidence, imagination, and social skills.

Abstract

Low numeracy skills in early childhood remain a significant issue in children's education. One contributing factor is the lack of innovative and engaging learning media aligned with children's cognitive development stages. To address this problem, this research developed an educational game called PERANGKA (Number Train Game) as a learning medium to improve numeracy skills in early childhood. This study used a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The game was developed based on Piaget's cognitive development theory, which emphasizes the importance of using concrete and visual media in children's learning. Additionally, Mayer's multimedia theory was applied in designing the game elements. The research subjects were Group B children aged 5–6 years at Kindergarten Labschool Unesa 1 Surabaya. Data collection techniques included observation, expert validation questionnaires, and practicality assessments. The results showed that material experts gave a score of 93%, media experts 94%, and the practicality score from teachers was 90%. These findings indicate that the PERANGKA educational game is a feasible, effective, and engaging alternative learning medium for enhancing numeracy skills in early childhood.
