Abstract

Mathematics is a fundamental aspect that must always be developed. Mathematical ability is crucial for early childhood because it can develop logical conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. In this case, mathematical skills in early childhood not only strengthen numerical understanding but also broader cognitive understanding. This study used a quantitative method with an experimental approach involving one pretest-posttest group, without a control group.This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Smart Counting method in improving understanding of addition and subtraction operations in early childhood. Using a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, the study involved 30 participants from RA Assyafiq, West Bandung Regency. Results showed a significant improvement in basic maths comprehension, with a mean pretest of 51.87 and posttest of 63.73 (p < 0.05). The Smart Counting method, which combines interactive technology and educational games, is proven to make learning more concrete and fun. Nonetheless, challenges such as the digital divide and lack of teacher training need to be addressed to maximise the effectiveness of this method. This research is expected to contribute to the development of innovative learning methods for early childhood, as well as encourage collaboration between the government, educational institutions, teachers and parents in its implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of speech therapy in overcoming speech delays in early childhood. This study uses an experimental design with a control group, consisting of two classes: an experimental class that receives speech therapy and a control class that follows conventional methods. This study uses a quantitative approach with an experimental method, using a quasi-experimental design, specifically a non-equivalent control group design. The research population consisted of all students from both institutions. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software, and the findings were interpreted in relation to the research hypothesis and theoretical framework. The results showed that at the pretest stage, there was no significant difference between the two groups, and similarly, at the posttest stage, there was no significant difference between the experimental class and the control class. These comparable results show that the effectiveness of the application depends on the implementation and involvement of the teacher. This study highlights the need for further research to explore additional factors that may influence the effectiveness of speech therapy in overcoming speech delays in early childhood.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of nature exploration games in honing problem-solving skills in early childhood at RA Al-Jazila Padalarang, West Bandung Regency, with the population consisting of all students at RA Al-Jazila. The sample included 20 students from classes B1, B2, and B3 as the experimental group, and 20 students from class B4 as the control group, selected through purposive sampling. This research adopts a quantitative approach using an experimental method and a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control groups design. Data processing was conducted using SPSS version 26, and non-parametric statistical analysis was performed with the median test. The results show that although there was an increase in the average score in the experimental group, no significant difference was found between the experimental and control groups based on the statistical test. This indicates that nature exploration games did not have a significant impact on improving problem-solving skills in early childhood in this study. However, the study provides an important insight into the need for more structured and sustainable learning designs to achieve optimal results.

Abstract

The Sundanese language skills of elementary school students need to be strengthened through engaging and effective learning approaches. One alternative utilized in this study is the singing method using Sundanese-language songs. This research aims to examine whether the application of the singing method can enhance the Sundanese language skills of elementary school students at Darul Amanah Elementary School, West Bandung Regency. The population consisted of students enrolled in the school, with a sample of 20 students in the experimental class and 17 students in the control class selected through purposive sampling. This study employs a quantitative approach with an experimental method and a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group structure. Data analysis includes descriptive and inferential statistical techniques assisted by SPSS version 26. The findings indicate that, although both groups showed improvement, there was no significant difference between the experimental and control classes in terms of Sundanese language skill mastery. The independent samples t-test result shows a significance value greater than 0.05, indicating no statistically significant difference. Thus, the singing method did not demonstrate a higher effectiveness compared to conventional learning methods in improving Sundanese language skills among elementary school students. Further studies are recommended to explore different learning strategies or additional influencing factors to obtain more optimal outcomes.
