The ability to think symbolically is one of the essential aspects of cognitive development to be achieved by early childhood. However, reality shows that some children's ability to think symbolically still needs to be achieved optimally. For this reason, a learning media that functions as an educational game tool is used, namely a number piggy bank. For this reason, this study aims to determine the role of using number piggy banks in learning in early childhood classes in the age range of 5-6 years. Furthermore, it is to determine the effect of using the media on developing their symbolic thinking skills. The type of research used in this study is mixed-method. The data analysis technique used was descriptive and statistical analysis using the chi-squared method (?²). The data collection techniques were observation, tests, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the number piggy bank was declared to affect symbolic thinking skills in children aged 5-6 at a kindergarten in Kuningan Regency, West Java, Indonesia. It is based on observations of teacher and student activities, which show 82.3% after using the number piggy bank media and 78.6% in the results of symbolic thinking abilities in children aged 5-6 years obtaining BSH qualifications (developing as expected).

Abstract

Language is a vital tool for human communication. Young children use it to express their thoughts, feelings, and desires. This study aimed to enhance the language skills of Group A students at PKK Ika Karya Bhakti Kindergarten in Probolinggo through storytelling with finger puppets. Employing Classroom Action Research, the researcher sought to address the limited speaking abilities of 13 out of 17 children in pronouncing sentences and recounting personal experiences. The findings demonstrate that the finger puppet approach effectively improved the language skills of these young learners. Specifically, language skills increased from 48% before the intervention to 72.4% after Cycle I and further to 83.8% after Cycle II.  Finger puppets can be a valuable tool for helping young children develop their language skills, especially those who may struggle to express themselves verbally.

Abstract

Social-emotional development is crucial for children's well-being. Parental support, especially from fathers, can significantly contribute to positive experiences and healthy growth. This study explores the impact of a father's absence on a child's development. Through qualitative interviews with two individuals, 'B' and 'N,' who lacked paternal involvement in childhood, we found that the absence of a father can lead to significant social-emotional challenges. These include difficulty managing emotions, unresolved trauma, low self-confidence, and difficulties in social interactions. This research highlights the importance of a father's presence in a child's life for healthy development.

Abstract

Introducing piano instruments to young children can significantly enhance their cognitive and academic development. This study delves into the effectiveness of using "Buku Musikku/My Music Book," a resource created by Yuniasri Maya Aisyah, specifically designed to teach preschoolers tone notation using color codes. A qualitative research approach was employed, focusing on a music course house in Pontianak City, Indonesia. Data was gathered through participant observation, interviews, and documentation, and its validity was ensured through source triangulation. The interactive model of Miles and Huberman was used to analyze the data. The study examined how color-coded music notation on piano instruments can aid early childhood understanding of fundamental musical elements: rhythm and melody. The rhythm section utilized fruit-shaped objects to visually represent beat values, while the melody section focused on matching color codes to specific note targets. The key finding of this research is that color-coded tone notation can indeed help young pianists recognize notes more effectively, making it a valuable tool for early childhood music education.
