Pengaruh Motivasi Keluarga Terhadap Kemampuan Kognitif Anak Usia 5-6 Tahun: Studi Masa Pandemi

Abstract

During the pandemic, children aged 5-6 years need time to learn from home so that cognitive abilities during the pandemic experience obstacles. Family motivation has an important role in empowering children's cognitive abilities. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of family motivation on the cognitive abilities of children aged 5-6 years during the pandemic. The research method used is quantitative. The research subjects found 60 children consisting and 60 parents of: grades B1, B2, B3, B4 at the Putera Bhineka Institute. Data collection techniques using observation, questionnaires, and documentation. The validity and reliability test showed that all the item instruments used were valid and reliable. Data analysis using SPSS 22.0 with simple linear regression test based on hypothesis testing. The results showed that there was no significant effect of motivation on children's cognitive abilities during the pandemic aged 5-6 years. The results of calculations with simple linear regression analysis and hypothesis testing can be said that tcount is 1.311 and a significance value is 0.195. The significant value is 0.195 > 0.05 or seen in the tcount of 1.311 < ttable 2.001. These results can be influenced by environmental factors in the community and the school environment. The findings of this study contribute that during the pandemic, children's cognitive abilities are not influenced by family motivation, but rather by environmental and other factors.

STEAM-Based Learning Media: Assisting in Developing Children’s Skills

“…The last analysis was environment analysis. This analysis is important because inappropriate learning environment may cause serious effects in the learning outcomes (Darimi, 2016;Efiawati, Fauziyah, Syafrida, & Parapat, 2021;Salsabila & Muhid, 2021;Afsari & Khosiah, 2022;Fatmawati & Aziz, 2022). From the environment analysis, the researchers concluded that the learning environment in the targeted population were suitable and appropriate to implement the new approach including STEAM-based learning.…”

“…However, the reality is differently showed. Most learning targets especially in early childhood education focus on mastering hard skills rather than soft skills because it is presumably that children have not yet understood ways in mastering soft skills and it is more important to focus on hard skills as the foundation for future development (Budiyono, Husna, & Wildani, 2020;Afsari, Rusdiyani, & Khosiah, 2022). This situation can be seen from previous research conducted in Probolinggo, where showed only 20% early childhood education's teachers understood and willingly to use interactive technology in learning, while the remaining (80%) were reluctant to use digital-based interactive learning media in learning activity (Darimi, 2016;Cahyani & Sulastri, 2021).…”

STEAM Learning Assessment in the Growth and Development of Early Childhood Literacy

“…Children's cognitive development is influenced by environmental factors, both the community and the school environment (AD, 2018;Anida & Eliza, 2020). The child's environment can internalize objects that stimulate cognitive development (Afsari et al, 2022). Literacy in the scientific aspect shows the results of growth and development, which have the widest distribution in several aspects.…”

The Effectiveness Of Learning Video Media To Increase Interest In Cognitive Learning Of Kindergarten Children

“…There is continuity between aspects of child development. One aspect that must be developed is the cognitive aspect (Afsari et al, 2022;Rahmaniar et al, 2022). Cognitive is a thought process, the ability of individuals to connect, assess and consider an event or event (Juwantara, 2019;Mukhlish Safitri et al, 2020).…”
