Abstract

Early childhood education at TK Negeri 2 Yefman remains predominantly characterized by the use of synthetic, factory-manufactured teaching aids, despite the availability of coastal natural materials in the surrounding environment. This study aims to analyze the effect of utilizing coastal natural materials as learning media on children’s cognitive abilities. A quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 13 children from Group B selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using performance-based assessment instruments and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, paired-samples t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed an increase in mean scores on cognitive abilities from 32.69 (pre-test) to 46.00 (post-test). The paired-samples t-test indicated a significant improvement after the intervention (p < 0.001), with an N-Gain score of 87.52%, indicating a high level of effectiveness. These findings suggest that coastal natural materials can be used as contextual learning media to support children’s cognitive development.

Abstract

The limited availability of interactive emotional literacy materials in the classroom is a major obstacle to the development of emotional intelligence in early childhood. This study aims to develop Emotion Cards, a visual-digital learning tool that integrates illustrated emotion expression cards, QR code-based contextual animated videos, and an implementation guidebook for teachers. The study employed the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) with 4 teachers and 10 children aged 5–6 years at ABA III Paranga Kindergarten, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via expert validation sheets, teacher response questionnaires, and child emotional intelligence observation sheets, then analyzed using quantitative descriptive and nonparametric statistical methods. The expert validation results fell into the Valid category (mean 3.00), the teachers’ practicality assessment reached the Very Practical category (94.38%), and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test indicated a significant increase in children’s emotional intelligence (Asymp. Sig. = 0.04 < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that the Emotion Cards medium effectively stimulates the five dimensions of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, emotion regulation, self-motivation, empathy, and social skills. Further research is recommended to expand implementation across more diverse contexts and levels of early childhood education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze scribbling activities as a medium of self-expression and creativity in early childhood. The study is based on the view that children’s scribbles are often perceived merely as random marks or fine motor exercises, although they may contain symbolic meanings related to emotions, experiences, and imagination. Using a qualitative case study approach, this investigation was conducted at one of the early childhood education units in Purwakarta. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation of children’s visual works. The findings show that scribbling goes beyond ordinary physical-motor activity; it functions as symbolic representation that communicates feelings, daily memories, and children’s imagination. Children who are given the freedom to scribble tend to show creativity, flexibility in thinking, and confidence in expressing ideas. Environmental factors, especially teachers and the learning environment, play an important role in facilitating children’s expressive and creative development. This study concludes that scribbling should be positioned as a meaningful learning activity that supports children’s holistic development.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and compare the influence of animated films and poster media on the religious and moral development of children aged 5–6 years at RA Permata. This research was motivated by the need for engaging and developmentally appropriate learning media to support children’s internalization of religious and moral values. A quantitative approach with a two-group pretest-posttest experimental design was employed. The sample consisted of 40 children selected from a population of 45 children using Slovin’s formula and divided into an experimental group using animated films and a control group using poster media. Data were collected through structured observation, questionnaires, and documentation, and analysed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U Test. The results showed that both animated films and poster media had a significant effect on children’s religious and moral development (p < 0.001). The Mann-Whitney U Test also showed a significant difference between the two media (p = 0.038), with animated films obtaining a higher mean rank (24.30) than posters (16.70). These findings indicate that animated films are more effective in stimulating children’s religious and moral development.
