IMPLEMENTATION OF CREATIVITY-BASED LEARNING METHODS IN INCREASING INTEREST IN EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING IN ECCE

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Project-based learning is important for children because they can explore knowledge by exploring their curiosity to find solutions to the problems they face. Implementing project-based learning can make children feel directly involved so that learning is more meaningful for them. Project-based learning provides opportunities for children to communicate, realize and develop their ideas in the form of real work. This learning method is applied in the early childhood learning process because this learning method is believed to increase children's creativity. The next stage is data collection, processing and analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and the final stage is presenting the results and discussion. Data collection techniques in this research used participatory observation, interviews, and documentation. Participatory observation is observation carried out by researchers who are directly involved in daily activities. Participatory observation to determine the flow of learning, limitations, obstacles and students' enthusiasm for learning. The implementation of learning using the project method in this research is an investigation-based approach to physics concepts based on the application of technology and engineering as scientific engineering which is adapted to the child's age. It can be seen that the children's argumentation skills have improved and the children's creativity has increased. The articles obtained and used in this research were 7 national journal articles that could be obtained from the Google Scholar database.
