The PENGARUH MEDIA FLASHCARD DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN LITERASI MEMBACA ANAK USIA 5-6 TAHUN

2025-10-16T14:55:45+00:00

This study investigated the impact of using flashcard media on the reading literacy skills of 5-6-year-old children at RA Asalsabila. Early childhood reading literacy encompasses recognizing letters, sounds, blending letters, and reading syllables and simple words. Using a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design (pretest-posttest control), this research involved 40 children divided into an experimental group (using flashcards) and a control group (without flashcards). Data was collected through observation and reading tests. The results showed a significant difference between the two groups. The average posttest score of the experimental group dramatically increased from 49.80 to 81.75, while the control group only reached 66.20 (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.000 < 0.05). This proves that flashcards significantly improve reading literacy because their visual, interactive, and multisensory nature attracts children's attention and stimulates their cognition and language. This research contributes to innovations in early childhood education learning and serves as an important reference for educators.

Eksistensi Diri Anak Sd Di Era Digital: Integrasi Teori Hirarki Kebutuhan Maslow Dan Filsafat Eksistensial

2025-09-23T08:22:08+00:00

This article aims to explore the existential self of elementary school children in the context of an increasingly digital world, through an integration of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and existential philosophy. Amid the widespread influence of technology and social media in early childhood, children begin to show signs of seeking recognition, self-worth, and existential meaning—dimensions often overlooked in primary education. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, this study examines how the sequential fulfillment of basic human needs, as proposed by Maslow, contributes to the development of authentic character in children. Furthermore, insights from existential thinkers—particularly Karl Jaspers’ notions of freedom and authentic existence—are employed to deepen the understanding of self-awareness and existential responsibility in children today. The study finds that elementary school-aged children are already experiencing existential dynamics, such as the need for social validation, identity anxiety, and the search for meaning. These can be positively addressed through a holistic, humanistic, and reflective educational approach. The findings highlight the crucial role of teachers and curriculum design in creating a learning environment that addresses not only children's physical and cognitive needs, but also their existential and self-actualizing dimensions.
