Abstract

This study aims to improve early childhood numeracy skills through the use of manipulative media in Class A of Al Ikhlas Kindergarten in Pekanbaru during the second semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. The research subjects consisted of 12 children (8 boys and 4 girls). The study used Classroom Action Research (CAR) in three cycles, with data collection methods including direct observation, photo documentation, and field notes. The research tools used for observation included a checklist to track children's ability to recognize and sequence numbers, match numbers with objects, and write numbers. The findings show significant improvement in numeracy skills across all cycles. At the pre-cycle stage, only 16.7% of the children demonstrated basic numeracy skills. After Cycle I, 50.6% of children were able to recite numbers 1-10 correctly. In Cycle II, 75% of the children could sequence numbers up to 20 and match numbers with objects. By Cycle III, 91.6% of the children showed strong numeracy skills, including writing numbers and distinguishing similar shapes, such as 6 and 9. The findings suggest that manipulative media, such as number blocks and number cards, are highly effective in improving early childhood numeracy skills. These results highlight the importance of using hands-on, interactive learning tools in early childhood education to foster cognitive development and engagement in learning. The study provides valuable insights into how educators can enhance numeracy education by incorporating manipulative media into their teaching practices, making learning more engaging and accessible for young children.

Abstract

Having a healthy child, both physically and mentally, who grows and develops well is the hope of every parent. However, the birth of children with developmental disabilities, such as Down syndrome, remains a concern that must be addressed, particularly through preventive efforts. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder associated with intellectual disability, often linked to both genetic and environmental factors, including inadequate maternal nutrition during pregnancy. This study aims to develop pedagogical strategies for educating pregnant women on the importance of prenatal nutrition as a preventive measure against Down syndrome. Using a field study method, data were collected through observations and interviews to explore the understanding and practices of maternal nutrition among pregnant women. The findings indicate that adequate nutritional intake during pregnancy contributes significantly to reducing the risk of developmental disorders, including Down syndrome, beyond hereditary factors. The implication of this study highlights the importance of structured and accessible pedagogical interventions to raise awareness and promote responsible nutritional practices during pregnancy. It is hoped that the results can serve as a foundation for future educational programs that empower mothers to make informed decisions for the well-being of their unborn children.

Abstract

Early childhood is a critical period of rapid physical and mental development, often referred to as the "golden age" due to the significant potential for growth and learning. During this stage, it is essential to stimulate children's abilities through intentional and developmentally appropriate pedagogical practices. Fine motor development, which involves the coordination of small muscles and hand-eye coordination, plays a vital role in children's overall growth and readiness for further learning. This literature-based study explores pedagogical approaches aimed at enhancing fine motor skills in early childhood through play-based activities such as coloring, collage-making, and stringing beads. Coloring encourages children to express themselves creatively while improving their grip and precision. Collage-making fosters hand coordination and sensory exploration by assembling various materials into visual compositions. Stringing beads enhances concentration, sequencing, and finger dexterity. These activities demonstrate how play, when guided by pedagogical principles, can effectively support fine motor skill development in early learners.
