Abstract

In this study, the use of traditional games as a learning medium to improve colour recognition skills among 5- to 6-year-old children was examined. The case study was conducted over three months at Taman Kanak Kanak (TK) Negeri Pembina Kanatang in East Sumba, involving 24 purposively selected research participants. The results of this case study confirmed that colour recognition skills in 5- to 6-year-old children can be effectively developed through the implementation of traditional classroom games, such as ‘Porch Stone’, ‘Colored Congklak’, and ‘Colored Jump Rope’. The findings of this case study confirmed that the color recognition skills of the selected children had progressed from the ‘developing’ stage to the ‘well-developed’ stage, and this was evidenced from the feedback of the teachers and mothers of the selected children, who stated that the selected children participated fully and enjoyed the process of playing the traditional games for improved color recognition

Abstract

This study aims to develop the Pop Up Book media "Ayo Siaga Bencana" (Let's Be Prepared for Disaster) to foster disaster mitigation awareness in early childhood. The development model used is ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), but this study is limited to the limited scale implementation stage. The research approach uses mixed methods with children aged 5-6 years old group B at the Kembangan District PAUD institution. Needs analysis was conducted through observation, interviews, and teacher and parent questionnaires. The Pop Up Book product was validated by three experts (material, media, and practitioners) with very high feasibility percentage results, respectively 87.5% (material experts), 95% (media experts), and 87.5% (practitioner experts). The trial was carried out in stages (individual, small group, large group) in three PAUD institutions, then a limited scale implementation was carried out on 10 children in group B of Al-Ikhlas Joglo PAUD. The results showed a teacher response of 97.5% (very good category) and a child response of 95% (very good category). Thus, this Pop-Up Book is deemed suitable, engaging, and effective as a disaster mitigation learning medium for early childhood. This medium can increase children's attention, enthusiasm, and understanding of simple disaster management steps, making it an innovative alternative for preparedness education in early childhood education (PAUD).

Abstract

This research was inspired by the lack of awareness and responsibility regarding cleanliness among kindergarten children at Pos PAUD Sedap Malam 16, Cimahi City, as 24.39% of 41 children still littered and 19.51% did not return toys after use, indicating a need for a grip intervention. Most earlier studies have focused on habituation or environmental practices, and few have integrated a spirituality-based strategy; therefore, this study is novel in integrating monotheism (tauhid) education with the “Tahan, Simpan dan Pungut” (TSP) slogan, a combination not yet explicitly examined in prior theories. This research employed a quantitative approach using SEM-PLS, and all 41 children in group B were included in the sample. The results indicate that tauhid education influenced cleanliness responsibility (β = 0.942; p < 0.001) and the use of the TSP slogan (β = 0.914; p < 0.001). The presence of the TSP slogan also had a significant impact on cleanliness responsibility (β = 0.377; p = 0.013) and mediated the direct relationship between tauhid education and cleanliness responsibility (β = 0.345; p = 0.016), demonstrating that implementation of tauhid education, rather than the TSP slogan, effectively strengthens early childhood cleanliness responsibility.

Abstract

Early childhood cognitive development encompasses thinking, remembering, imagining, and problem-solving, which require stimulation through learning media. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of tangram media in developing the cognitive abilities of children aged 4–5 years through exercises that involve identifying and arranging tangram shapes from basic geometric blocks to form new shapes. The observational results revealed that children aged 4-5 years have difficulties; their cognitive development remains limited. 16 of 22 children have not demonstrated the ability to arrange and name geometric blocks and to compare their similarities and differences. This study was conducted at RA Takrimah Banda Aceh. This study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest format. Purposive sampling was used, and of the 43 students in the population, 22 from class A2 were selected as the sample. Data collection methods include observation and documentation. Based on the results of the Normality Test, after ensuring that the data is normally distributed, the t-count value (19.439) > t-table (1.721) and sig (2-tailed) 0.001 < 0.05 obtained from the data analysis process indicate that the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Based on the research findings, Tangram Media is a viable alternative to traditional methods for developing early childhood cognitive abilities.

Abstract

Literacy skills in young children, especially those aged 5–6 years, are an important foundation for their readiness to enter the next level of education. However, challenges are still found at the Pelita Doktora Bagan Pete Integrated Islamic Kindergarten (TKIT), Alam Barajo District, Jambi City, where some children have difficulty recognizing letters and associating them with sounds. Therefore, engaging learning media is needed, one of which is the explosion box. This study aims to determine the effect of using the explosion box media on the literacy skills of 5–6-year-old children. This study used a quantitative experimental method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The sample consisted of 15 children in group B2, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was an observation sheet that had been tested for validity. Data analysis was performed through normality tests, homogeneity tests, and hypothesis testing using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significance value (p-value) < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. The conclusion of this study shows that the explosion box media has a positive effect on the literacy skills of early childhood, as evidenced by an increase in learning outcomes after treatment. This media can be used as an innovative alternative to support literacy learning for children aged 5–6 years.

Abstract

The fine motor development of early childhood is often not optimal due to a lack of variety in learning media that can stimulate hand-eye coordination and finger skills. Based on initial observations at RA Al-Hidayah Palembang, 17 children aged 5–6 years were found to have below-standard fine motor skills, especially in writing, cutting, and pasting activities. This study aims to analyze the effect of ecoprinting activities as a natural material-based learning medium on children's fine motor development. The research method used a quantitative approach with a One Group Pretest–Posttest design. The research sample consisted of 17 children selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, tests, and documentation, then analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase between the pretest and posttest scores, as evidenced by a t-value of −9.581, which is greater than the t-table value of 2.120, and a significance value of p < 0.001. These findings indicate that ecoprinting activities are effective in improving children's fine motor skills, especially in terms of accuracy, finger flexibility, grip strength, and visual-motor coordination. Therefore, ecoprint can be used as an alternative learning medium that is enjoyable, environmentally friendly, and capable of stimulating optimal fine motor skill development.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of early literacy among young children, often influenced by the limited availability of attractive, suitable learning media. Literacy in children aged 5–6 years is an important foundation for the development of reading, writing, and critical thinking skills in subsequent levels of education. This study aims to determine the effect of using smart windmill media on the literacy skills of 5-6-year-old children at Adilika Makassar Kindergarten. The research method is quantitative, using a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were 30 children in group B at Adilika Makassar Kindergarten. The data collection instrument was an observation sheet on literacy skills that included letter recognition, simple reading, and basic writing. The data were analyzed using a paired-samples t-test to assess the difference between the pretest and posttest results. The results showed that the use of smart wheel media significantly improved children's literacy skills. The average posttest score was higher than the pretest score, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05), indicating an increase in literacy skills after the children learned to use this medium. Thus, it can be concluded that smart windmill media is an effective, innovative learning tool for improving early childhood literacy.

Abstract

Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD)   is an emotional problem often experienced in early childhood, especially when they first enter an educational environment. This condition can hinder the adaptation process, independence, and involvement of children in learning activities. Therefore, the role of teachers and parents is an important factor in helping children overcome separation anxiety. This study aims to describe the role of teachers and parents in overcoming SAD in early childhood at PAUD. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method because it allows researchers to explore in depth the behavior of children and the dynamics of interaction between children, teachers, and parents in a natural context. The research subject was one child at the Al-Hafidz Early Childhood Education Center in Cipocok Jaya, Serang City. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study, based on observation and interviews, showed that the child experienced symptoms of SAD, such as crying when separated from parents, refusing to enter the classroom, and showing high emotional dependence. Teachers act as surrogate figures who provide a sense of security through play-based approaches, empathetic communication, and enjoyable learning strategies. Meanwhile, parents, especially mothers, play a role through permissive parenting patterns that influence the child's condition. Intensive collaboration between teachers and parents has a positive impact on improving the child's independence and adaptability

Abstract

Early reading skills are crucial for young children, although in practice, many children still have difficulty identifying letters and words. This study developed the Ular Tangga Kata (URGATA) media through the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model. The validation test results showed that this media is suitable for use, with a score of 80% from media experts and 77.1% from subject matter experts, as well as receiving excellent appreciation (92%) from education practitioners. Empirically, the use of URGATA has been proven effective in improving children's reading skills, as seen from the increase in the average score from 44 to 84 with an N-Gain value of 0.7 (moderate category). Therefore, URGATA is an effective learning media solution to stimulate early reading skills

Abstract

Early Childhood Education plays an essential role in supporting children’s overall development, including motor skills, particularly for children with special needs who have diverse developmental characteristics. Differences in developmental pace, language abilities, behavior, and social interaction require adaptive learning approaches that respond to individual needs. This study aims toescribe the implementation of the Individualized Learning Program (Program Pembelajaran Individual/PPI) in improving the fine motor skills of children with special needs at Integrated Islamic Kindergarten (Taman Kanak-Kanak Islam Terpadu/TKIT) Sahabat, East Jakarta. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. The subjects consisted of three children with special needs and two accompanying teachers. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews with teachers, the principal, and parents, as well as documentation of the learning program. The findings reveal that the PPI supports the development of children’s fine motor skills through activities such as threading, drawing, and pasting that are adjusted to each child’s developmental level. The use of varied learning media and individualized instructional strategies helps increase children’s motivation, confidence, and engagement in learning. Challenges in implementation include limited facilities and infrastructure and the need for continuous teacher professional development. Collaboration among teachers, parents, and the school supports the successful implementation of the program.
