Abstract

The development of interactive media as a type of multimedia teaching aid has a positive impact on children's gross motor skills. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of interactive media in early childhood education through an experimental study. The study had two participants, 30 children each: An experimental group with interactive teaching media and a control group with conventional teaching methods. Counting skills were assessed before and after the intervention for both groups. Data analysis conducted with a paired t-test showed that the experimental group showed an increase in the mean score from 50 to 80 (t (29) =12.00; p<0.001), indicating a statistically significant difference after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test on the control group showed an increase in the median score from 52 to 60, but did not reach statistical significance (Z=-1.50; p=0.134). The results suggest that the application of interactive teaching media is efficient in improving the counting skills of preschool children compared to traditional methods without focused treatment.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the suboptimal development of fine motor skills in children aged 4-5 years at Paramata Bunda Kindergarten, Palopo City. These children experience difficulties in doing tasks that require eye-hand coordination, such as crumpling paper, buttoning, and opening zippers. The purpose of this study was to improve children's fine motor skills by utilizing the Busy Book as a learning medium. This study employed the Classroom Action Research (CAR) methodology, based on the Kemmis and Taggart framework, which consisted of two cycles, each comprising four sessions. The research participants consisted of 11 students from class A2 (Tomat A). Data collection methods included observation, interviews, documentation, and assessment. The study's results showed a significant improvement in children's fine motor skills after they used the Busy Book systematically and regularly. At the end of the second cycle, six children were included in the "Already Emerging (SM)" category and five children in the MM category related to finger dexterity and eye-hand coordination. This study recommends more intensive and varied use of Busy Books in early childhood education to enhance the development of fine motor skills.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Four Pillars of Education in improving the soft skill education paradigm for children aged 5–6 years in PAUD institutions. The educational orientation has shifted from academic-center to a holistic, child-center approach through four main pillars: learning to know, learning to do, learning to be, and learning to live together. This qualitative research used a case study method at RA Al-Muttaqin. Data were collected through participatory observation by three researchers and in-depth interviews with two participants: the class teacher and the principal. Findings revealed that the four pillars were applied contextually in center-based learning, hands-on activities, character building, and social interaction. These practices positively contributed to the development of children's soft skills, including communication, empathy, cooperation, responsibility, and independence. The study highlights the urgency of transforming early childhood education from an academic focus to a more humanistic, integrated model. It also underlines the importance of strengthening teacher competencies and implementing a value-based curriculum to support this shift. In conclusion, the application of the Four Pillars promotes a more meaningful and effective early education experience.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the less-than-optimal symbolic thinking ability of children aged 5-6 years, which is caused by the minimal use of learning media, especially audio-visual media in the form of animated videos. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of using animated videos on the symbolic thinking abilities of children aged 5-6 years at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Kindergarten Sumbergede. The method used in this study was quantitative with a quasi-experimental design of the nonequivalent group design type. The research sample consisted of 30 children, with 15 children assigned to the experimental group and 15 to the control group. The results of the hypothesis test using the Independent Sample t-test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant effect of using animated videos on the symbolic thinking ability of children aged 5-6 years at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Kindergarten Sumbergede. The findings of this study suggest that the use of animated video media has a positive impact on the symbolic thinking abilities of children aged 5-6 years, compared to conventional methods that rely solely on worksheets.

Abstract

Social behaviour in early childhood is a crucial foundation in the development of character and interpersonal competence from an early age through eating bajamba. This study aims to evaluate the impact of eating bajamba activities on the social behaviour of 5-6-year-old children at Sabbihisma 2 Ulak Karang Kindergarten. This research applied quantitative methodology with a quasi-experimental design. The research participants included 20 children classified into two groups, namely 10 children from class B3 as the treatment group and 10 children from class B4 as the control group, which were determined through a purposive sampling method. The research measurement tool was a test instrument containing nine statement items to assess children's social behaviour. The data analysis process was carried out using the SPSS version 25.0 application, starting with normality and homogeneity testing, which proved that the data were normally distributed and had uniform variance. Then, the independent sample t-test was implemented, which resulted in a probability value (2-tailed) of 0.014 < 0.05 and a calculated t value of 2.730 > t table of 1.734. The output indicates that the bajamba eating activity has a significant effect on improving children's social behaviour. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference in the formulation of a more dynamic and engaging learning approach to support the construction of early childhood social character

Abstract

Early character building of religious and moral values is an important component of their development. This condition is characterized by the fact that many children's behavior is not in line with religious and moral teachings, requiring special attention from parents and schools. The purpose of this study was to examine the school environment's influence on the formation of moral and religious principles in children aged 5 to 6 years in Ogan Ilir District, South Sumatra. This survey research employed purposive sampling, involving 47 teachers from 6 kindergartens selected based on their location and characteristics in relation to the acquisition of religious and moral learning. Questionnaires were used to collect data, and descriptive statistics were used to examine four primary indicators: religious rituals, modesty norms, moral norms, and educator strategies. The results showed that moral norms were the primary focus in character building, followed by modesty norms and religious rituals. Children's understanding of religious holidays and ability to accept criticism still need to be improved, although the learning strategies implemented are effective. This study suggests implementing a more interactive and collaborative learning approach between teachers and parents to support children's character development.

Abstract

Deaf children are an essential concern, especially at an early age, to provide independent learning that will be beneficial in the future, as they are accustomed to being independent without the help of others. The purpose of the study was to identify and describe effective learning strategies in improving the independence of blind children in special schools (SLB), Bukesra Banda Aceh. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, data collected through interviews with teachers and observation of teaching and learning activities. The results showed that the main strategies implemented include expository methods for the delivery of material in a structured manner, heuristic methods to foster independent and critical thinking, as well as a team teaching approach that allows more personalized guidance. In addition, schools use audio media such as audiobooks as alternative visual aids, ice-breaking activities to increase learning focus, and giving awards as a form of positive reinforcement to build motivation and social participation of children. The curriculum is tailored to each student's ability to create inclusive and adaptive learning. The findings of this study indicate that integrated and responsive learning strategies significantly support the development of academic and social independence of children with visual impairments, which can be seen from their increased initiative, confidence, and active participation in the learning process.

Abstract

The inadequate fine motor skills of young children, particularly in the areas of cutting, folding, and drawing, are the driving force for this study. One of the contributing reasons is the absence of constant and interesting stimulation. Kirigami activities, which involve folding and cutting, are believed to improve children's fine motor skills. This study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design and a quantitative methodology. There were 34 children in group B at Bintang Kembar Kindergarten when the study was carried out. 16 kids who displayed delays in fine motor abilities were chosen for the sample using purposive sampling at the teacher's recommendation. Tests, documentation, and observation were used to gather data. Validity, reliability, normalcy, homogeneity, and paired sample t-test tests were all used in the data analysis. The findings demonstrated that kirigami activities significantly improved children's fine motor abilities. This is evidenced by a t-value of -27.571. With a degree of freedom (df) = 15 and a significance level of 5% (0.05), the critical t-value is ±2.131. Since the absolute value of the t-calculated is greater than the t-table value (|−27.571| > 2.131), the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) is accepted. This indicates that the kirigami activity has a significant effect on improving the fine motor skills of Group B children at TK Bintang Kembar.

Abstract

Literacy skills are an important aspect in the development of early childhood literacy. At the age of 5-6 years, children begin to be introduced to letters as a basis for learning to read and write. Using the letter flow maze media, this study attempts to improve the ability of vowel literacy in children aged 5-6 years at Al-Kautsar Indralaya Kindergarten. This study was conducted using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach involving 10 children as participants. Data were obtained through observation and interview activities, then analyzed qualitatively with descriptive methods. The results of the study showed that before the action (pre-action), only 40% of children were able to recognize vowels as expected. After the application of the letter flow maze media in Cycle 1, the percentage increased to 60%. Further improvement occurred in Cycle 2, where 90% of children had shown the ability to recognize vowels with the Very Well Developed (BSB) category. These results prove that the use of letter flow maze media is effective in improving vowel literacy in early childhood at Al-Kautsar Indralaya Kindergarten.
