Abstract

Early childhood learners require developmentally appropriate strategies to support their sensory growth, particularly in recognizing and categorizing textures through direct experiences. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a sensory play-based instructional module designed to enhance texture recognition skills in early childhood learners. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation), the module was validated by three subject matter experts and implemented in classroom settings. Data were collected through expert validation instruments and teacher assessments to measure its practicality and effectiveness. The module received a validity score of 84.72%, indicating strong content alignment and instructional accuracy. Its practicality was rated at 92.25%, reflecting ease of implementation and contextual relevance, while its effectiveness reached 90.27%, demonstrating improved learner engagement and the ability to distinguish textures through structured sensory activities. These findings confirm the moduleÔÇÖs high validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Its application offers a valuable instructional strategy for early childhood education by promoting sensory development through evidence-based, play-integrated learning.┬á┬á

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 64 months, as well as the factors influencing their decision to provide exclusive breastfeeding. The study sample consisted of 130 mothers with toddlers aged 64 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

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 childrens environmental awareness. Therefore, ecoprint is considered a viable alternative learning method to holistically develop fine motor skills in early childhood education.

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 4ÔÇô5 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.
