Penggunaan Media Pembelajaran Find The Match dalam Wordwall untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Mengenal Warna pada Anak Usia 4-5 Tahun di TK Samudra Cimerak

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of find the match interactive learning media  in wordwall to improve the ability to recognize colors in children aged 4–5 years at Samudra Cimerak Kindergarten. The focus of this research is based on the importance of color recognition as part of early childhood cognitive development as stated in the Child Development Achievement Level Standards (STPPA) of the 2013 Early Childhood Education Curriculum. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The research subjects consisted of 16 children of group A of Samudra Cimerak Kindergarten and classroom teachers. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation, with researchers as the main instruments. Data analysis is carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and qualitative conclusion drawn. This study was limited to a relatively small number of subjects and scope in one school, so the results of the study could not be generalized widely. However, these findings provide implications for educators to utilize interactive digital media in Early Childhood Education learning. The results of the study show that the use of find the match media  in wordwall is able to improve children's ability to recognize primary and secondary colors. Children show improvements in pointing, mentioning, and grouping colors skills through fun interactive activities. In addition, this media increases children's interest in learning because it involves visual, playful, and active participation elements. This research offers a contribution to the use of interactive digital media based on educational games for early childhood learning, which has not been widely explored in the context of the introduction of basic concepts such as colors.
