Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of using the Mini Zoo educational game tool on the natural intelligence of children aged 5-6 years. The research employed a quantitative approach with an experimental design involving a single group. The sample consisted of 20 children from Group B3 at RA Az Zahra. The results indicate that the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected, while the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) was accepted, demonstrating a significant effect of the Mini Zoo educational game tool on children's natural intelligence. The findings imply that exploration-based educational tools such as Mini Zoo are effective for improving young children's natural intelligence. Therefore, incorporating similar educational game tools is recommended for early childhood learning activities.

Abstract

This study explores the role of educated women in shaping family dynamics and enhancing children's early childhood education in Oyi Local Government Area, Anambra State, Nigeria. The study utilized a survey research design to evaluate the impact of women's education on the socio-economic status of families in Oyi Local Government Area, Anambra State. Covering five towns—Awkuzu, Nteje, Umunnya, Ogbunike, and Nkwelle—the research targeted diverse women, including literates and illiterates from varied occupations. A sample of 200 working-class women was randomly selected from schools, banks, markets, and farms, with each town contributing 40 respondents. Data was collected via a questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale. The findings reveal that educated women contribute significantly to the economic stability of their families, engaging in diverse financial responsibilities, including healthcare, education, and property investments. They also demonstrate a preference for smaller, well-managed families, effectively using reproductive health information to maintain family planning. In the context of early childhood education, educated women actively support their children's learning through guidance on schoolwork, provision of educational materials, and fostering a disciplined study environment. The study concludes that educated women are pivotal in promoting family welfare, enhancing literacy rates, and driving social and economic progress within the community. It recommends strengthening educational opportunities for women to further amplify these positive impacts on family and community development.

Abstract

Learning evaluation is an essential component in the educational process which functions to assess student competency achievement. This research aims to describe the implementation of learning evaluation at Baitusshalihin Integrated Islamic Kindergarten, with a focus on two curricula, namely the 2013 Curriculum and the Merdeka Curriculum. By applying a qualitative approach, data was obtained through interviews with educators and observations of the evaluation process carried out. The research results indicate that the implementation of assessment in the 2013 Curriculum emphasizes assessment based on standardized learning outcomes using authentic methods. In contrast, the Merdeka Curriculum offers greater flexibility in evaluation, allowing adjustments to the needs and potential of each student. Baitusshalihin IT Kindergarten uses a project-based assessment method.

Abstract

Learning based on used materials for early childhood in an innovative approach that integrates environmental sustainability values with the development of creativity and fine motor skills. This study aims to describe the implementation of learning methods based on used materials in TK Muslimat NU Bunga Harapan, focusing on the benefits, challenges, and indicators of success. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the use of used materials, such as plastic, and kitchen waste, can support children's holistic development, skills, and recycling creativity. The obstacles faced include the limitations of certain used materials and children's negative perceptions of used materials as "trash". Indicators of success include children's enthusiasm in activities, work results, and active involvement in the process. This study concludes that the learning approach based on used materials is not only effective in supporting the development of early childhood, but also has the potential to be a relevant educational strategy in building environmental awareness from an early age.

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.
