Excessive behavior of autistic children results in difficulty in concentration. In order for children to concentrate on learning, it requires the right method, one of which is with games so that children feel comfortable in learning, so that children's concentration can focus on learning. Based on this, the authors are interested in conducting research on puzzle therapy at SLB Darma Putra Kalipucang Pangandaran. The purpose of the study was to determine the puzzle play therapy to improve the learning concentration of children with special needs (autism) in SLB Dharma Putra Kalipucang. This type of research is descriptive field research. Data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. While data analysis techniques by reducing data, presenting data and verifying data. The results showed that: 1) Puzzle play therapy to improve the concentration of learning for children with special needs (autism) in SLB Dharma Putra Kalipucang has stages, namely the initial stage: room preparation, child preparation and reward preparation. Process stage: Eye Contact, Instruction, Response, Prompt, and Reward. The final stage is evaluation. 2) Supporting and inhibiting factors for the implementation of puzzle play therapy to improve the concentration of learning for children with special needs (autism) at SLB Dharma Putra Kalipucang. The encouraging factors: good communication between parents and teachers and adequate school facilities. The inhibiting factors are the presence of students with other needs that interfere with the concentration of students' learning and the food consumed, such as eating too much sugar, the child is restless.</em></p> 2025-07-31T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Parhatun Bidinillah https://ejournal.alfarabi.ac.id/index.php/jos/article/view/600 Penggunaan Gadget dalam Mendukung Proses Pembelajaran Pada Anak Usia Dini di RA Mathlaul Ulum Jayasari 2024-09-25T11:20:52+07:00 Nuri Andiani Putri nuriandiani@stitnualfarabi.ac.id Aang Andi Kuswani aang@stitnualfarabi.ac.id <p><em>The main role of educational technology is to help improve overall efficiency in the teaching and learning process.

Grounded in the constructivist theories of Piaget and Vygotsky, this research explores the implementation of child-centered learning through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis in two RA institutions located in Parigi District, Pangandaran Regency, representing both urban and semi-rural contexts. The findings reveal a significant shift from traditional approaches toward more active and contextual learning strategies, such as project-based learning, independent exploration, and collaborative activities. These approaches enhance children’s engagement, creativity, and readiness to navigate the complexities of modern challenges. A stimulating learning environment and the teacher's role as a facilitator are essential components in supporting children's active knowledge construction. Although implementation varies across institutions, these learning strategies are generally perceived as effective, despite ongoing challenges such as limited teaching media, technological access, and teacher competencies. This transformation reflects a necessary adaptation by RA institutions to remain relevant and to equip children with critical thinking, social, and creative skills needed in today’s world. This study offers practical contributions to the development of early childhood learning models based on constructivism that are responsive to contemporary challenges and relevant to early childhood education policy in Indonesia.</em></p> 2025-07-31T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Euis Trismayanti https://ejournal.alfarabi.ac.id/index.php/jos/article/view/1214 Peningkatan Pemahaman Konseptual Siswa melalui Strategi Pembelajaran Deep Learning 2025-09-04T17:49:34+07:00 Fitria Carli Wiseza Fitriawiseza@gmail.com Ibermarza Ibermarza Ibermarza168@gmail.com <p>This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of implementing deep learning strategies in improving primary school students' conceptual understanding of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS), particularly the material ‘Weather Changes and Their Impacts’. The research approach used was Classroom Action Research (CAR) over two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 22 fifth-grade students from Public Alementary Cchool (SDN) 144/II Pasir Putih Bungo, consisting of 10 boys and 12 girls. Data collection techniques included observation, evaluation tests, reflective interviews, and documentation. The results showed a significant increase in students' conceptual understanding after the application of in-depth learning strategies through problem-based learning activities, group discussions, phenomenon exploration, and independent reflection. The average score for student understanding increased from 36.5 (pre-cycle) with a criterion of poor to 64% with a criterion of good (cycle I) and 91 with a criterion of very good (cycle II) with a criterion of very good. Deep learning has been proven to build students' critical thinking skills, knowledge transfer abilities, and ecological awareness related to weather change phenomena and their impacts. Thus, this strategy is suitable for application in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning at the primary school level to develop meaningful, reflective, and contextual learning.</p> 2025-07-31T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Fitria Carli Wiseza, Ibermarza Ibermarza
