This research was motivated by the students' lack of ability to concentrate. The aim of this research is to determine how to increase children's concentration through color mixing experimental activities. This type of research uses classroom action research (PTK). The research subjects were group B students at Cipta Insani Sidoarjo Kindergarten. Data collection used observation and documentation. The research was carried out in II cycles. The results of the research showed that the students' concentration increased with each cycle. In Cycle I, the results of the assessment using the BSB criteria for the first indicator reached 54.5%, for the second indicator it reached 63.3% and for the third indicator it reached 54.5%. In Cycle II, the results of the assessment using the BSB criteria for the first indicator reached 90.9%, for the second indicator it reached 81.8% and for the third indicator it reached 81.9%.

ABSTRACT

Cooperation skills are an important social aspect that needs to be developed in early childhood, especially children aged 4–5 years who are still in the egocentric stage. Cooperation helps children learn to share, interact positively, and understand the value of mutual cooperation. This study aims to improve the cooperation skills of group A children at Cempaka Putih Semampir Kindergarten, Surabaya through the application of the project method. The study used a Classroom Action Research design with the Kemmis and McTaggart model, implemented in two cycles, each consisting of three meetings. The research subjects were 18 children, consisting of 9 boys and 9 girls. The focus of the study included interaction skills, responsibility, and mutual assistance. Data were collected through observation and documentation, using observation sheets as the main instrument. Data analysis was carried out descriptively quantitatively. The success criterion was determined if the percentage of children's cooperation skills reached a minimum of 76%. The results showed a significant increase after the application of the project method. In the pre-action, children's cooperation skills were at 47%. After the first cycle, it increased to 63%, and in the second cycle it reached 83%, exceeding the predetermined indicator. This improvement is influenced by the syntax of the project method (2013), namely determining fundamental questions, preparing plans, implementing, and presenting projects. This activity structure provides space for children to interact, take responsibility, and help each other, so that cooperation skills develop optimally.

This study uses a quantitative research approach with a pre-experimental research type using a one group pre-test and post-test design. The research subjects were all children in group B at TK Dharma Wanita Persatuan Medaeng Sidoarjo, totaling 18 children. The data collection methods used were observation using evaluation tools in the form of observation sheets and documentation, as well as performance tests. Data processing calculations were assisted using SPSS version 25. Based on the results of the paired samples test using SPSS version 25, it shows that the research results obtained a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 <0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is an influence of using creative snakes and ladders media on the literacy language development of children aged 5-6 years at TK Dharma Wanita Persatuan Medaeng Sidoarjo.

THE DESIGN AND EFFICACY OF INTERACTIVE DIGITAL SIMULATIONS FOR PRESCHOOL COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT: INTEGRATING PIAGET’S PREOPERATIONAL THEORY AND MAYER’S MULTIMEDIA PRINCIPLES

2025-12-30T19:56:34+07:00

Early Childhood Education (ECE) plays a critical role in shaping foundational cognitive skills, particularly during the preoperational stage (ages 2–7 years) as theorized by Jean Piaget. Children in this phase learn optimally through active, symbolic manipulation and play. However, the global shift towards digital learning necessitates a robust instructional design framework to overcome the limitations of passive media and mitigate the risks of cognitive overload often associated with poorly structured digital content. This study addresses the urgent need for empirically validated, theory-driven digital learning tools for ECE by systematically integrating Piaget’s developmental rationale with Richard E. Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML). The research employed a systematic Research and Development (R&D) approach using the five-phase ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The analysis phase defined specific cognitive targets (e.g., shape, number, and color recognition) suitable for preoperational learners. The design and development phases strictly implemented key CTML principles, such as the Coherence Principle (eliminating extraneous materials like non-essential background music) and the Modality Principle (using audio narration instead of on-screen text to prevent dual-channel overload), thereby optimizing cognitive processing efficiency for young learners. The intervention—an interactive digital simulation designed around these principles—was implemented with a sample of ECE children in Indonesia. The efficacy of the intervention was evaluated using a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the cognitive performance of the treatment group (p < 0.05). Specifically, children exposed to the CTML-designed simulation showed an average cognitive gain of 25% to 30% in targeted skills (classification, counting, and problem-solving) compared to their baseline scores. This substantial gain validates the combined theoretical approach. The study concludes that the effectiveness of digital media in ECE is not inherent to the technology itself but is directly proportional to the rigor of the instructional design, confirming that minimizing extraneous cognitive load through Mayer's principles enables more efficient assimilation and accommodation of new knowledge, aligning perfectly with Piagetian demands for active learning. Future research should explore the long-term retention effects and integrate more immersive technologies like Augmented Reality (AR).10Keywords: Interactive Digital Learning; Cognitive Development; Piaget's Preoperational Stage; Multimedia Learning Principles.

MANAJEMEN PENGGUNAAN MEDIA DIGITAL DI PAUD TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN BAHASA ANAK USIA DINI

2025-12-30T19:56:37+07:00

ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the management of digital media use in early childhood education (PAUD) and its impact on the language development of young children. The research approach used a mixed method with a sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data were obtained through questionnaires and observations of children's language development, while qualitative data were obtained through interviews and in-depth observations. The study sample consisted of 40 PAUD teachers and 80 children aged 4–6 years from three PAUD institutions in Surabaya and Sidoarjo. The results showed that digital media management which includes planning, media selection, duration settings, mentoring, and evaluation has a significant impact on children's language development (p < 0.05). PAUDs that implement structured digital media management show better achievements in vocabulary development, speaking skills, and listening skills than PAUDs that do not have clear media management. Qualitative analysis shows that teacher mentoring is a key factor in ensuring that digital media use is interactive, not passive. These findings emphasize the importance of effective digital media management in supporting the stimulation of early childhood language development.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to determine the success of using video production to improve students' English speaking skills. The video had a different topic for each meeting. It used descriptive qualitative. The observations were conducted in 3 meetings. The research subjects were 19 students, consisting of 12 women and 7 men. The teaching aids were Google Meet and Edmodo. The results of the study showed that the usage of Edmodo was easily accessible, that is, you can use a PC, laptop and smartphone, and even Edmodo software was available on the Playstore. Then, Edmodo had a feature to create small groups. It was to avoid students' lies about uploading their assignments. However, Edmodo did not have a video conferencing feature, so one of the solutions was to use Google Meet. Furthermore, the implementation of video production could increase their confidence to speak English and they could even improve their video editing skills or knowledge.
