Abstract

Early childhood is a critical period for shaping character through appropriate educational media. This study aims to develop and determine the feasibility of an illustrated storybook based on Balantak local wisdom to enhance the character of children aged 5–6 years. The research was conducted at TK Sejahtera Bonebak, involving all Group B children as participants. The method used was Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The study specifically aimed to produce a culturally relevant storybook and assess its suitability in supporting children's character development. Feasibility was assessed by a language expert and a media expert, resulting in scores of 95.4% and 94.4%, both classified as highly valid. The storybook was tested on children focusing on four character traits: courage, discipline, tolerance, and social care. The results showed that the media was highly feasible and effectively supported the development of these character traits. In conclusion, illustrated storybooks incorporating local wisdom can serve as effective tools for character education in early childhood settings.

Abstract

Alphabet and counting skills are fundamental components in the development of early childhood literacy and numeracy. However, many children aged 4–5 are only able to memorize letters and numbers without understanding their concrete forms and meanings. This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of PAMIN (Interactive Magnetic Board) as a learning media to enhance alphabet and counting skills in early childhood. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), and was conducted at TK Dharmawanita Tawangsari 2, Sidoarjo. The study involved 23 children in Group A (aged 4–5 years). The instruments used included observation sheets, skill tests, and expert validation questionnaires. The results showed that PAMIN is feasible to use, based on validation by subject matter and media experts. Moreover, there was a significant improvement in both alphabet and counting abilities, with an average N-Gain score of 0.81 (classified as high). PAMIN proved to be effective as it integrates enjoyable multisensory learning through a combination of visual, manipulative, and singing methods. This study concludes that PAMIN is an innovative learning media and is recommended to support interactive learning processes in early childhood education.

Abstract

Early childhood is a critical phase for developing both cognitive and gross motor abilities. However, many early education practices remain cognitively centered, providing limited structured motor stimulation. This study investigates the effect of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) through a recycled bottle planting project on the cognitive and gross motor development of children aged 5–6 years at RA Rachmat Bangil. Employing a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, the study involved an experimental group participating in a series of hands-on activities designing, cutting, decorating bottles, planting seeds, and plant care while a control group received conventional instruction. Results showed that children in the PjBL group achieved significantly higher cognitive gain scores compared to the control group. Although improvements in gross motor skills were also observed, they were less substantial. The project’s physical nature fostered coordination, balance, and movement in a meaningful and enjoyable context. These findings confirm that PjBL, even with simple materials, effectively supports holistic child development. The study suggests that early childhood educators integrate physical engagement within cognitive learning through contextual, environmentally conscious projects.

Abstract

Collaborative skills are essential for early grade students as part of 21st-century competencies, yet they are often overlooked in traditional mathematics classrooms. This study aims to examine the effect of the Numbered Heads Together (NHT) cooperative learning model on the collaborative abilities of early grade students in learning basic multiplication. The research was driven by the low level of student engagement observed during conventional group work. A quantitative approach was used, employing a quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group. The participants consisted of 30 second-grade students at MIS Istiqomah, divided equally into experimental and control groups. The intervention was conducted over several sessions using structured NHT activities to enhance peer interaction and shared problem-solving. Data were gathered through a student-completed collaborative skills questionnaire and teacher observation sheets. Results indicated that the experimental group scored an average of 72.53 on collaboration measures, while the control group scored 39.07. An independent t-test revealed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), confirming a statistically significant difference. The findings demonstrate that the NHT model is effective in improving young learners’ collaboration during mathematics learning. Therefore, it can be recommended as a viable strategy to cultivate teamwork skills from an early stage of schooling.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of natural material-based ecoprint activities on the fine motor skills of of 5–6 year old children. A mixed methods approach was employed using a quasi-experimental design. The research subjects consisted of 28 children from Group B at State Kindergarten of 8 Wita Ponda, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received treatment through ecoprint activities for ten days, while the control group engaged in regular activities without similar interventions. Data were collected through fine motor skills tests (pretest and posttest), observations, documentation, and interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test and N-Gain Score, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the fine motor skills of children in the experimental group compared to the control group, with a p-value < 0.05 and an average N-Gain Score of 68.4%, categorized as moderately effective. Interviews with teachers and the principal affirmed that ecoprint activities provided enjoyable learning experiences, enhanced hand and finger coordination, and fostered children’s environmental awareness. Therefore, ecoprint is considered a viable alternative learning method to holistically develop fine motor skills in early childhood education.

Abstract

Stunting is a serious nutritional issue that affects children's physical growth and cognitive development. It can be prevented through adequate exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life. This study aims to assess mothers’ perceptions regarding the importance of exclusive breastfeeding in preventing stunting among toddlers aged 6–24 months, as well as the factors influencing their decision to provide exclusive breastfeeding. The study sample consisted of 130 mothers with toddlers aged 6–24 months. Data were collected through interviews using structured questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. The results showed that a positive maternal perception of exclusive breastfeeding was significantly associated with lower stunting rates among toddlers. Moreover, maternal knowledge and family support emerged as key factors contributing to the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

The development of religious and moral values is a crucial foundation in shaping the character of early childhood learners. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Prezi Video media in fostering religious and moral development in Group B children. Employing an experimental design with a quantitative approach, the study focused on three core aspects: identifying religions and places of worship, maintaining personal hygiene, and performing prayers according to one's faith. A total of 15 children from Tut Wuri Handayani Kindergarten participated in the study. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test observations conducted before and after the implementation of Prezi Video media. The findings revealed a significant improvement across all three aspects, with most children progressing from the "Emerging Development" category to "Developed as Expected" and "Very Well Developed" after the intervention. These results indicate that Prezi Video media is an effective tool for enhancing early childhood understanding and application of religious and moral values.
