Abstract

The physical motor development aspect is a developmental phase in the elements of maturity in body movement that is closely related to the development of the motor center in the brain. With a gradual increase in age, movement increases from undeveloped and unskilled to very well developed. The aim of this research is to find out and describe the application of the traditional egrang batok game as a medium for stimulating the physical motor development of group B children at the Pembina Ponorogo State Kindergarten. This research design uses descriptive research. Data collection techniques use observation, interviews, and official documentation. The data analysis technique uses analysis techniques according to Miles and Huberman, with stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of the research show that the application of the traditional game of egrang batok as a medium for stimulating the physical motor development of group B children at the Pembina Ponorogo State Kindergarten has developed as expected. When the traditional game of stilt batok is played regularly, it is proven to really help children’s physical motor development and helps stimulate aspects of concentration, eye, hand to foot coordination, as well as agility, speed and accuracy in playing. Suggestions for readers who will carry out qualitative field research on aspects of children’s physical motor development: do it carefully and focus so that the research results are more valid.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the effectiveness of applying Froebel’s principles in the PAUD curriculum in the modern era and integrating them with technology to improve the quality of early childhood education in Indonesia. This research uses the library research method to collect and analyze various relevant literature about Friedrich Froebel’s educational principles and their application in early childhood education (PAUD). Data was collected through literature searches, evaluated, and analyzed to draw conclusions and recommendations regarding the application of Froebel’s principles in the PAUD curriculum in the modern era. Research shows that the application of Friedrich Froebel’s principles in the PAUD curriculum has a significant positive impact on children’s holistic development, including engagement, creativity and understanding of concepts. Children who follow programs based on the Froebel method show better social and emotional development and improved interaction skills. Engaged teachers report improved teaching skills and self-confidence, while parents demonstrate greater involvement in their child’s education. Although effective, the research identified challenges such as a lack of resources for teacher training and less consistent parent involvement. The research recommends increasing teacher training and parent awareness to optimize implementation of the Froebel method.

The research method used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The research subjects were 33 students of group B Raudlatul Athfal Bahrul Ulum Palemwatu. The research was conducted for two days on August 29-30, 2024, using participant observation techniques, interviews with class B teachers, and documentation. The results of the study illustrate that early childhood independence is increasing with practical life activities at school. Early childhood is able to express themselves along with the teacher providing life skills through the practice of washing socks. Children are trained by learning daily activities to dry socks, and children are increasingly trained with activities before going to school by wearing their own socks. Early childhood independence is the behavior of children's way of life given through life skills exercises to wash socks, dry socks, and use socks independently, as well as light activities related to activities both at school, at home, and in the child's play environment as practical life activities.

Abstract

Early childhood is an important period to optimize children's potential, where the role of parents and teachers is crucial. Early childhood education creates an environment that supports exploration and learning. Early childhood is an important period to optimize children's potential, where the role of parents and teachers is crucial. Early childhood education creates an environment that supports exploration and learning. The cognitive development of early childhood, especially in the preoperational stage (ages 2-7 years), can be optimized through educational games, both modern and traditional, such as puzzles, role-playing, and congklak. Research shows that these games are effective in developing symbolic thinking skills, problem solving, and practicing numeracy skills, with some studies noting an increase in cognitive aspects of up to 94.73%.

Abstract

Javanese language needs to be developed from an early age, and as time goes by, the language is increasingly being abandoned. Early childhood is a golden period that is able to receive optimal stimulation. The storytelling method using animated media is an interesting learning medium for children, so stimulation will be easy to capture. The Javanese language skills of children at RAM Miftahussalam are still low, and the use of digital media is also still lacking. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the Cerkak animation media on the Javanese language skills of children at RAM Miftahussalam. This research uses a quasi-experimental research design. The research subjects used by researchers were children aged 5–6 years, or group B, at RAM Miftahussalam Ponorogo. The research subjects used by researchers were children aged 5–6 years, or group B, at RAM Miftahussalam. The data analysis technique uses a quantitative method with a paired sample t-test on two groups of pretest and posttest data. Data collection techniques in this research used observation instruments and oral test sheets. The results of the research show that the cerkak animation has an influence on the Javanese language skills of young children at RAM Miftahussalam. From the output results of SPSS 25 data analysis, it shows that the significance value (2-tailed) of the Paired Difference column is 0.000<0.05, so it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Based on the paired samples t-test table, the tcount results were 23.110 and the ttable was 1.697. After treatment, tcount is greater than ttable, namely 23.110>1.679. Based on the decision-making criteria, it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that there is a significant difference between before and after treatment using cerkak animation on the Javanese language skills of young children.

From the output results of SPSS 25 data analysis, it showed a significance value (2-tailed) for the Paired Difference column of 0.000<0.05. Meanwhile, the results of the t calculated paired sample t test showed that the value between pre-cycle and cycle 1 showed that the calculated t value was greater than the t table 7.340 > 1.7459. In cycles I and Cycle II, the calculated t value was greater than the t table, 12.638 > 1.7459. Based on the decision-making criteria, it can be concluded that H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted, which means that children's storytelling abilities are significantly different by the using of hand puppet media.
