Abstract

Technology integration in the Indonesian Language curriculum in elementary schools is becoming increasingly important in today's digital era. This study examines the use of creative applications and digital platforms to enrich prose and poetry learning for grade 5 students. With a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model, we developed a web-based learning media called "SastraOnline" and interactive software such as "PuisiKreatif" to enhance student creativity and engagement. This study collected longitudinal data from 10 elementary schools to identify patterns of 5th-grade students' engagement and creativity in technology-based learning. Results showed a significant increase in student engagement by 25% and self-expression skills by 20%. However, variations in implementation across schools affected the results, indicating the importance of local curriculum adaptation. To address the challenges of teacher training, we propose a continuous training program tailored to schools' needs. Collaboration between schools, government, and technology providers is proposed to facilitate the development of a dynamic and responsive curriculum. Further research is needed to measure long-term impacts and tailor effective implementation strategies across educational contexts.

Abstract

To improve mathematics competence in Early Childhood Education (PAUD), using interactive media based on digital technology can be an innovative solution. This study uses interactive applications that combine the art of batik painting with basic mathematical concepts. This approach is based on the theory of Contextual Learning, which is designed to introduce children to the concepts of measurement, patterns, and geometric shapes through creative activities. The prototype of this application was tested on three PAUD groups with a total of 90 children and 6 educators. The research method used qualitative descriptive analysis to assess learning effectiveness and children’s involvement in the activity. The results showed an increase in basic mathematical understanding of up to 35%, with higher enthusiasm and active participation during learning. However, the challenges faced include limited access to digital devices and the need for educators to be trained to utilize this technology. To overcome these obstacles, it is recommended that adequate digital infrastructure support and regular training programs for teachers be provided. Collaboration between schools, technology developers, and the government is needed to ensure effective integration into the PAUD curriculum. Through a collaborative approach, technology-based interactive media can make mathematics learning more interesting and compelling for early childhood.
