Abstract

This study aims to improve the basic writing skills of children aged 4-5 years through collage activities using rubber seeds at TK Islam Al-Husein. The research employs the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method using the Kemmis & McTaggart model, implemented in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 12 children from Group A, with data collection techniques involving observation, documentation, and informal interviews.The results show a significant increase from the pre-cycle to cycle II. In the pre-cycle, no children (0%) achieved the minimal "Developing as Expected (BSH)" category. After Cycle I, the achievement rose to 33.33% of children in the BSH category. In Cycle II, 75.00% had reached the minimal category, with details as follows: Developing Well (BDB) at 33.33% (4 children), Developing as Expected (BSH) at 41.67% (5 children), and Starting to Develop (MB) at 25.00% (3 children). This improvement reflects the effectiveness of the rubber seed collage activity in training hand-eye coordination, strengthening fine motor skills, and fostering children's motivation to learn to write. Thus, the collage method using rubber seeds can be recommended as a creative learning medium to stimulate pre-writing skills in early childhood.

Abstract

This study aims to describe teachers’ strategies in implementing the center-based learning model at TK Bungong Seleupoek within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that teachers consistently use an everyday life approach in teaching by connecting center activities to children’s real-life experiences. Teachers begin lessons with personal interactions such as greetings, asking about students’ well-being, and using concrete teaching aids aligned with the learning theme. This approach emphasizes not only learning outcomes but also enjoyable and meaningful learning processes. Teachers routinely conduct evaluations and develop new strategies to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of the learning process. These findings reinforce the importance of consistency in using everyday approaches in early childhood education aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum philosophy.

Abstract

This study aimed to improve children’s social interactions through the application of the group work method in Group B of Gunung Bale State Kindergarten, Donggala. Conducted in July 2025, the research involved 15 children—7 boys and 8 girls—and employed a classroom action research design consisting of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research process was divided into three phases: pre-action, Cycle I, and Cycle II, to observe the extent of change in children’s social interaction skills. The observed aspects included helping each other, cooperation, understanding conversations, and communication. The results revealed a significant improvement from the pre-action stage to Cycle II. The percentage of children categorized as “Very Well Developed” increased from 23.33% in Cycle I to 45.00% in Cycle II, while those in the “Not Yet Developed” category decreased from 35.00% to 3.33%. These findings demonstrate that the group work method effectively enhances children’s social interaction skills and serves as an alternative learning strategy in early childhood education.

Abstract

Foreign language learning, particularly English, needs to be introduced from an early age, as this period marks a crucial stage in rapid language development. However, in reality, many young children still struggle to recognize and pronounce basic English vocabulary. This study aims to improve the ability of children aged 5–6 years to recognize basic English vocabulary through the Mystery Box game. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles consisting of three meetings each. The research subjects were 15 Group B children at RA Al-Kautsar. The findings revealed that the implementation of the Mystery Box game significantly enhanced children’s vocabulary skills. Prior to the intervention, only 27% of the children demonstrated understanding of basic vocabulary, while after the second cycle, 93% of the children achieved the “Very Well Developed” category. Therefore, the Mystery Box game proved to be an effective medium for improving early childhood mastery of basic English vocabulary.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the utilization of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) method through loose parts media in the learning activities of Group B3 children at TK Tunas Harapan, Baubau City. The background of this study is based on the lack of variation in learning media and the minimal active involvement of children in the learning process, which affects the development of their creativity and independence. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The research subjects consisted of 10 children aged 5–6 years. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the application of the STEAM method using loose parts media—such as water propagation experiments, stamping color, painting, color mixing, and creating artworks using recycled materials—can increase children’s active involvement, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and socio-emotional skills. Children were more enthusiastic, explorative, and independent in completing learning tasks. Thus, the application of the STEAM method through loose parts media is proven effective as an innovative approach in early childhood education.

Abstract

The problem in this study was young children’s low ability to recognize colors, evident in difficulty naming colors and sorting and grouping objects by color. The cause was the suboptimal use of instructional media. The study aimed to improve children’s color recognition ability through the use of educational play tools at TK Kemala Bhayangkari 01 Palu. The research subjects were 15 kindergarten group A children (4 boys, 11 girls). This study used a classroom action research design with two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, interviews, tasks, and documentation using observation sheets for teacher and student activities. The analysis showed that before the intervention, color recognition ability was low (categories BB, MB) with 6.67% in Very Good (BSB), 22.22% in Expected (BSH), 31.11% in Beginning (MB), and 40% in Not Yet Developed (BB). After cycles I and II, significant improvements were observed. In cycle I, BSB increased to 24.45%; BSH 35.55%; MB 20%; BB 20%. In cycle II, BSB 46.66%; BSH 40%; MB 11.11%; BB 2.23%. Thus, the use of educational play tools was proven to improve children’s color recognition ability.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the traditional game dakon on the intelligence of children aged 4–5 years at KB Ester Sidoasri, Sumbermanjing Wetan District, before and after being given an intervention in the form of the dakon game. This research employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. The subjects of the study were children aged 4–5 years enrolled at KB Ester Sidoasri. The instrument used was an intelligence test administered before (pretest) and after (posttest) the dakon game intervention. The results showed a significant increase in the children’s intelligence levels following the intervention. The game proved effective in stimulating children’s cognitive abilities, such as logical thinking, counting, and decision-making. Therefore, the traditional game dakon can serve as an enjoyable and beneficial learning medium to support the cognitive development of early childhood.
