Pengembangan Model learning science for kids berbasis game untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir logis anak usia 5-6 tahun. 

Development Of a Game-Based Science Learning Model For Children To Improve The Logical Thinking Abilities Of Children Aged 5-6 Years. 

Kemampuan berpikir logis anak sangat penting untuk dioptimalkan dan distimulasi dengan metode yang tepat. Tujuan yang akan dicapai pada penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan sebuah model learning science for kids berbasis game untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir logis anak usia 5-6 tahun serta mengetahui kevalidan, dan keefektifan model learning science for kids berbasis game. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian Research and Development (R&D) dengan menggunakan model Dick and Carey yang mencakup 10 langkah mulai dari menilai kebutuhan untuk mengidentifikasi tujuan sampai melakukan evaluasi sumatif. Data berupa penilaian mengenai kevalidan, dan keefektifan model learning science for kids berbasis game diperoleh dengan teknik angket dan observasi. Hasil data yang diperoleh dari uji coba kevalidan dari ahli materi menunjukkan nilai persentase sebesar 96% dan hasil perolehan presentase dari ahli media sebesar 87% sehingga termasuk dalam kategori sangat baik. Adapun penilaian keefektifan dari model learning science for kids berbasis game dengan menggunakan ngain score memperoleh nilai rata rata n gain score yang didapat adalah 0,731 berada pada kriteria g > 0,7. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa model learning science for kids berbasis game memiliki keefektifan tinggi sehingga model learning science for kids berbasis game bisa digunakan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir logis anak usia dini. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa model learning science for kids berbasis game dinyatakan memenuhi standar kevalidan dan keefektifan dalam menstimulasi kemampuan berpikir logis anak pada usia 5-6 tahun. Pengembangan model learning science for kids berbasis game dapat menjadi inovasi bahan ajar bagi guru dalam rangka menstimulasi kemampuan berpikir logis anak. Model Learning Science for Kids berbasis game terbukti meningkatkan berpikir logis anak dan dapat diterapkan di TK sebagai inovasi pembelajaran. Namun, penelitian ini masih terbatas pada aspek berpikir logis, sehingga diperlukan studi lanjutan untuk mengukur dampaknya pada aspek perkembangan lain. Hasil ini juga dapat menjadi referensi bagi penelitian selanjutnya dalam pengembangan model pembelajaran yang lebih efektif.

The development of logical thinking skills in children is crucial and must be optimized and stimulated with the right methods. The aim to be achieved in this research is to develop a game-based learning science for kids model to improve the logical thinking abilities of children aged 5-6 years and determine the validity and effectiveness of the game-based learning science for kids model. This research uses Research and Development (R&D) research using the Dick and Carey model which includes 10 steps starting from assessing needs to identifying goals to conducting a summative evaluation. Data in the form of an assessment regarding the validity and effectiveness of the game-based learning science for kids model was obtained using questionnaire techniques and field trials. The results of the data obtained from validity trials from material experts show a percentage value of 96% and the percentage results obtained from media experts are 87%, so it is included in the very good category. As for the assessment of the effectiveness of the game-based learning science for kids model using ngain score, the average n gain score obtained was 0.731, which is in the criteria of g > 0.7. This shows that the game-based learning science for kids model has high effectiveness so that the game-based learning science for kids model can be used to improve the logical thinking abilities of young children. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the game-based learning science for kids model meets the standards of validity and effectiveness in stimulating the logical thinking abilities of children aged 5-6 years. The development of a game-based science learning model for kids can be an innovative teaching material for teachers in order to stimulate children's logical thinking abilities. The game-based Learning Science for Kids model has been proven to improve children's logical thinking and can be applied in kindergarten as a learning innovation. However, this research is still limited to aspects of logical thinking, so further studies are needed to measure its impact on other aspects of development. These results can also be a reference for further research in developing more effective learning models.
