Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran melalui Worldwall dengan Problem Based Learning untuk Mengenalkan Konsep Bilangan Anak Usia Dini

Abstract

Recognizing number symbols is an important aspect of cognitive development in early childhood. However, less engaging learning activities may make it difficult for children to understand number symbols. To address this issue, this study developed learning media using the Wordwall application based on the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach. The study aimed to develop interactive and engaging Wordwall-based learning media to support children's recognition of number symbols. A Research and Development (R&D) approach was employed using the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The participants were students from a class at an early childhood education institution in Cibabat Village. Data were collected through validation questionnaires, observations, and qualitative feedback. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed descriptively. The validation results showed that the learning media received a feasibility score of 81.25% from subject matter experts, placing it in the feasible category, and 86.11% from media experts, placing it in the highly feasible category. Following revisions based on the validation results, the media was considered suitable for use. These findings suggest that Wordwall-based learning media incorporating the PBL approach can provide a more engaging learning experience and support children's understanding of number symbols.
