Abstract

This research aims to develop an animated video to enhance early childhood understanding of fire safety procedures. The study employs a modified Research and Development (R&D) model based on Borg and Gall’s framework, comprising six stages: identifying potential and problems, collecting initial data, designing media, validating media, revising the design, and conducting product trials. The video, created using Adobe After Effects and Adobe Animate, was tested on 38 children at RA Tarbiyah Islamiyah. Data collection involved three types of questionnaires: media validation, content validation, and children's comprehension assessment. Validators and teachers evaluated each questionnaire using a checklist scale. Data analysis employed qualitative and quantitative methods to assess the effectiveness of educational media. Results demonstrated a significant improvement in children's understanding of fire emergencies, with pre-test scores averaging 62% and post-test scores at 74.8%. The animated video effectively visualised fire scenarios in a realistic yet comprehensible manner for children, reinforcing safety messages and encouraging prompt and safe responses during fires. The study concludes that animated videos are compelling educational tools for enhancing disaster preparedness among young children. The implications of this research suggest that early childhood education programs should integrate disaster preparedness training into their curricula. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of such interventions, assess their applicability in diverse educational settings, and incorporate additional multimedia elements to enhance engagement and educational outcomes. Collaboration between educators, disaster management professionals, and digital media experts is essential for developing comprehensive and practical safety education resources.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Garuda Book, a tailored educational tool for instilling the Pancasila Student Profile in early childhood education within Indonesia's Independent Curriculum framework. Utilizing a Research and Development (R&D) approach, this research involved creating, implementing, and evaluating the Garuda Book in an early childhood educational setting at RA Nurul Hadina. The study's methodology incorporated the development of project activities linked to the curriculum, including "I Love the Earth" and "I Love Indonesia," with the book designed for durability and child appeal. Data collection entailed various questionnaires assessing media and material validity and the effectiveness of the Garuda Book in imparting Pancasila values. Results indicated a significant improvement in children's understanding and embodiment of Pancasila values post-intervention, as evidenced by increased scores in assessments related to faith, diversity, cooperation, independence, critical reasoning, and creativity. However, challenges such as teachers' limited understanding of the independent curriculum were noted, necessitating further training. This study's findings underscore the potential of contextually relevant educational tools like the Garuda Book in early childhood education, contributing substantially to pedagogical practices aimed at value formation. Future research could explore such tools' long-term impacts and adaptability across diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Comic Life intervention in reducing aggressive behavior among early childhood students. Utilizing an experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups, the research was conducted over four weeks at RA As-Syafiiyah. Initial assessments identified potential issues through observations and interviews. Comic Life, an educational medium, was then developed and validated by experts. During the intervention phase, 21 children from class B engaged with Comic Life media through interactive storytelling sessions. Pre- and post-intervention data on aggressive behavior were collected using a validated questionnaire tailored to early childhood social-emotional development. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results indicate a significant reduction in aggressive behaviors post-intervention, with a large effect size (p = 0.003) and a rank-biserial correlation of -0.76. The findings underscore the potential of comic-based educational media in promoting positive behavioral outcomes among young children. This study highlights the importance of innovative and engaging methods in behavioral interventions, offering valuable insights for educators and policymakers. Future research should explore long-term effects and broader applications of similar interventions in different cultural and educational contexts to further validate these findings. Expanding the scope to include a range of behavioral issues and exploring the role of various types of educational media could provide a more comprehensive understanding of effective strategies for early childhood education.
