“…The geometry content is almost hidden. Studies show that geometry is one of the subjects with the lowest performance levels in the mathematics curriculum (Novita, 2018;Elia, & Gagatsis, 2007). This was confirmed by the results of analyzing the (0.2) curriculum and the subjective curriculum for the kindergarten stage.…”

“…The study indicated that geometric thinking and geometry learning proceeds at successive levels that include growth in the methods and quality of thinking (Obeidat, 2010). Van Hiele (1999) also emphasized that the geometry taught to children must be appropriate to the level of geometric According to Novita et al (2018), understanding geometry and spatial reasoning is an essential area for learning mathematics. They serve as a basis for learning mathematics, especially for kindergarten children.…”

Teaching the properties of geometric shapes in traditional ways does not help children to understand them, nor does it enable them to visualize them. It may need methods that correspond to the characteristics and tendencies of children and more interesting methods based on fun learning. Designing 3D geometric shapes with children through pop-up mechanisms can offer a solution to their difficulties. Therefore, the current research aims to verify the current geometric thinking skills of children and the development of their geometric thinking skills in terms of distinguishing between the names of 2D and 3D geometric shapes and the properties of 3D geometric shapes after presenting a program based on the pop-up design mechanisms. The researchers developed a program to teach children to distinguish between the names and properties of 3D geometric shapes based on the design mechanisms that emerge. It has been called 3D through pop-ups in kindergarten children (3D POP-UP in KC). The research sample consisted of 12 children of (5:6) age groups. The study adopted the qualitative approach; data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, video recordings of children's handiwork, and photos during application. The results indicated that the participating children have a limited understanding of geometric thinking skills regarding the nomenclature and properties of 2D and 3D geometric shapes according to the results of the pre-test. It was also found that it is possible to teach them some geometric thinking skills such as distinguishing 3D and D2 geometric shapes and knowing their properties through the proposed program (3D POP-UP in KC). This result was shown in the difference between the children's scores on the pre-and post-test.

“…Sementara itu, menurut Bird dalam (Atmaja, 2017), geometri adalah bagian dari matematika yang membahas mengenai titik, garis, bidang, dan ruang. Kemudian, Lestari dalam (Novita, Putra, Rosayanti, & Fitriani, 2018) menjelaskan bahwa dalam pendidikan anak usia dini, pemahaman tentang geometri didefinisikan sebagai kemampuan anak-anak untuk mengenali, menunjuk, menyebutkan dan mengumpulkan benda-benda di sekitarnya berdasarkan pada bentuk-bentuk geometri, seperti lingkaran, segitiga, dan segiempat. Khaleel dalam (Almohtadi et al, 2019) menekankan bahwa anak-anak harus dapat mengenali prinsipprinsip geometri seperti mengidentifikasi dan menggambar bentuk dasar geometri, membedakan antara bentuk dua dan tiga dimensi, dan membandingkan antara semua bentuk selama tahun-tahun usia dini.…”

Salah satu aspek perkembangan yang perlu dikembangkan pada anak usia dini yaitu aspek kognitif, yang termasuk di dalamnya pengenalan matematika permulaan. Matematika merupakan salah satu ilmu yang perlu dikenalkan sejak dini karena dapat berpengaruh pada keberhasilannya kelak di jenjang pendidikan yang lebih tinggi. Pada anak usia dini, proses pembelajaran akan lebih menarik dan bermakna jika menggunakan media. Strategi yang dapat dilakukan oleh guru untuk membantu anak memahami konsep matematika yaitu dengan menggunakan media pembelajaran visual, seperti media flashcard. Media flashcard adalah media dengan bentuk kartu yang berisikan gambar-gambar seperti binatang, buah- buahan, warna, bentuk, huruf maupun angka. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu mendeskripsikan penggunaan media flashcard untuk mengenalkan matematika permulaan pada anak usia dini. Adapun metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu kajian pustaka dengan mengkaji beberapa dari berbagai sumber yang ada. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini yaitu penggunaan media flashcard dapat membantu anak memahami matematika permulaan seperti konsep bilangan dan geometri. Kata Kunci: matematika permulaan, media flashcard, anak usia dini

“…But it is used widely in a real-life situation (Ç elik, 2020;Hwang et al, 2019). Therefore, the basix principles of the geometry should be gained in the early years of school education (Novita et al, 2018). Deficits in visual and spatial working memory can be one of the most important reasons for the difficulties of students in geometry lesson (Passolunghi & Mammarella, 2012).…”

Purpose: This study aims to research the impact of the e-learning environment, in which game-based education software was used, on the learning of students with intellectual disabilities. Design/Approach/Methods: The study group consisted of 34 students with intellectual disabilities studying at a special education vocational school in Çanakkale, Turkey. In this study, the true experimental method was used. For 5 weeks, the experimental group received blended learning that was supported by the usage of a game-based education software designed by the researcher which includes interactive educational game applications. At the same time, control group students only received the teaching process in the classroom with the traditional teaching method. A course attitude scale and an achievement test were used for data collection. Findings: The analysis of the findings showed that there was a significant increase between pre-course and post-course attitudes and academic achievement scores of the students. There wasn’t a significant difference between pre-course and post-course attitudes and academic achievement scores according to the gender and academic achievement scores. Males’ academic achievement and attitude post-test scores were higher than females’ scores. Students having upper daily mobile devices usage experience had higher post-test and academic achievement scores than students having lower daily mobile devices usage experience. Originality/Value: This article has the potential to construct a new practice example as a supplement for analyzing the game-based educational software usage on the education of students with intellectual disabilities. As a pilot study, it provides a good sample for further investigations.
