Peningkatan Literasi Bahasa Melalui Media Loose Parts Pada Anak Usia Dini

Abstract

Language literacy ability is an important aspect of early childhood development; however, many children still demonstrate low achievement levels and limited active engagement in language activities. This condition highlights the need for engaging learning media to stimulate children’s participation and creativity. This study aims to improve early childhood language literacy skills through the use of loose parts media in learning activities. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, each consisting of two meetings. The research subjects were nine children from Group A at TK Kristen Aletheia Pontianak. Each research cycle included the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations of children’s activities and interviews with teachers. The results showed an improvement in children’s language literacy skills after the implementation of loose parts media. This improvement was evident from the increase in the average literacy scores from Cycle I to Cycle II, accompanied by enhanced activeness, creativity, and participation of children in language activities. Therefore, loose parts media proved to be effective in improving early language literacy while simultaneously creating a more enjoyable learning experience.
