Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the use of Educational Props (APE) blocks in improving the cognitive, motor, and social-emotional development of early childhood. The assessment was conducted through observation, documentation, and interviews with teachers and children in the 4–5 year old age group at an early childhood education institution. The results of the study indicate that the structured use of blocks can improve children's classification, construction, fine motor coordination, and social skills such as cooperation and communication. The obstacles found were the suboptimal variation in block use and the lack of educators' understanding of constructive play-based stimulation strategies. The implications of this study encourage teachers to use a guided play approach to make the use of APE more effective.

Abstract

Early childhood development assessment needs to be conducted authentically and enjoyably, in accordance with the characteristics of learning through play. However, assessment practices in early childhood education (PAUD) are still dominated by traditional assessments that do not reflect children's natural abilities. This study examines the use of dice games as a medium for assessing children's cognitive development at Nur Faizah PAUD to overcome the limitations of conventional assessments and improve the accuracy of learning assessments. The study aims to describe the implementation of dice-based assessments and their effectiveness in assessing numeracy and number recognition skills. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation of 15 children in group B and their classroom teachers. The results showed that dice games can increase learning motivation and enable cognitive assessment to occur naturally. Most children were able to correctly name the numbers according to the dice roll results, and approximately 70% of children were able to perform simple addition using two dice. In addition to academic outcomes, this activity also stimulated social-emotional development such as cooperation, waiting for turns, emotional regulation, and communication during play. Teachers acknowledged that assessment through dice games facilitated observation of the learning process without causing stress for children, although obstacles such as limited game equipment and recording of assessment results were still encountered. Overall, the dice game proved to be an effective, fun, and developmentally appropriate assessment instrument for early childhood, and supported the principles of the Independent Curriculum, which is oriented towards meaningful and child-centered learning.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students' procedural texts in the Indonesian Language subject in grade V UPT SD Negeri 060874 Medan City. The learning process is still less active, which causes students to be less enthusiastic in learning. Many students tend to chat or play during lessons, so that the material is not conveyed optimally. This condition has an impact on low student grades in the Indonesian Language subject, especially in understanding and writing procedural texts. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether the application of the Problem Solving method can improve student learning outcomes in learning procedural texts. This study uses a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach which is carried out in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects in this study were fifth grade students of UPT SD Negeri 060874 Medan City in the 2025-2026 Academic Year. Data were collected through observation of student activities during learning and learning outcome tests in each cycle to determine the improvements that occurred. The results showed that the application of the Problem Solving method can significantly improve student learning outcomes. In cycle I, the percentage of student learning completion reached 70%, while in cycle II it increased to 95%. Thus, there was an increase of 25% after the application of the Problem Solving method. This increase is also supported by changes in student behavior who are more active in learning, more focused on the material, and able to solve problems given in learning procedural texts. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Problem Solving method is an effective learning strategy in improving student learning outcomes. Therefore, this method is recommended to be used in Indonesian language learning to increase student engagement and better learning outcomes
