Geometry fun circuit play for children's geometric shapes recognition

Abstract

Geometric shape recognition ability is among preschool children's cognitive development indicators. It is necessary to design an innovative method to stimulate their cognitive development through play, such as geometry fun circuit play. However, this play needs further security on its effects on children's geometric shape recognition ability. The present study attempted to test the effect of geometry fun play on preschool children's geometric shape recognition. A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group design was applied involving thirty participants. The experimental and control groups in this study showed a significance value of <0.001, meaning that the geometry fun circuit play significantly affects preschool children's geometric shapes recognition. Geometry fun circuit play is recommended as one of the alternatives parents, and teachers can use for stimulating preschool children's cognitive development.

Development of Smart Kiddo Games as an Effort to Improve Physical Motor and Language Abilities in Early Childhood

“…Play activities for denim-age children can be packaged in a circuit game model. This is in line with the opinion (Savira et al, 2022), which states that circuit games can be a fun learning alternative and motivate and stimulate all children's abilities. Added by (Pramono & Aisyah, 2018); (Vina & Sufiati, 2020) states that pleasant learning situations help educators instill values in the formation of all children's potential, especially in motor and physical language abilities.…”

“…Psychologists also state that the early years of life are the most important period among other stages of development. The child is believed to have experienced significant experiences in this period (Savira et al, 2022).…”

“…In accordance with the findings of the Animove Game development research (Sistiarini, 2021) which explains that these games have proven to be useful for learning activities, the game model is attractive, easy to use, and proven to improve early childhood motor skills. Another research (Savira et al, 2022) on the development of Geometry Fun Circuit Play also states that circuit games can be a fun learning alternative and can motivate and stimulate all children's abilities. Educators will also be more helpful in instilling values in forming all children's potential, especially in physical motor and language abilities (Pramono & Aisyah, 2018;Vina & Sufiati, 2020).…”

Pengaruh Smart Kiddo Games terhadap Kemampuan Fisik Motorik dan Bahasa pada Anak Usia Dini

“…Sejalan dengan hasil penelitian pengembangan Permainan Animove Sistiarini (2021) menjelaskan bahwa dengan sebuah permainan terbukti valid untuk dapat meningkatkan kemampuan fisik motorik anak usia dini. Penelitian lain tentang pengembangan Geometry Fun Circuit Play juga menyatakan bahwa permainan sirkuit mampu menjadi alternatif pembelajaran yang menyenangkan dan mampu memotivasi serta merangsang seluruh kemampuan anak (Savira et al, 2022). Dengan demikian pendidik juga akan lebih terbantu dalam menanamkan nilai-nilai serta pengembangan seluruh potensi anak (Nugraheni et al, 2019;Paramita & Supiati, 2020).…”

“…Aktivitas bermain untuk anak usia dini dapat dikemas dalam bentuk model permainan sirkuit . Hali ini sejalan dengan pendapat (Savira et al, 2022) yang menyatakan bahwa permainan sirkuit mampu menjadi alternatif pembelajaran yang menyenangkan dan mampu memotivasi serta merangsang seluruh kemampuan anak. Ditambahkan oleh (Nugraheni et al, 2019) (Paramita & Supiati, 2020)yang menyatakan bahwa situasi pembelajaran yang menyenangkan sangat membantu pendidik menanamkan nilai-nilai dalam pembentukan seluruh potensi dan keterampilan yang dimilki anak, khususnya pada kemampuan fisik motorik dan bahasa anak usia dini.…”
