PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA POP-UP BOOK DALAM MENSTIMULUS KEMAMPUAN KOGNITIF ANAK DI KELOMPOK B1 TK ALKHAIRAAT TONDO KOTA PALU

This study aims to develop a Pop-Up Book learning media
to stimulate cognitive abilities in early childhood education,
particularly in recognizing letters, shapes, and symbols.
The research employed a Research and Development
(R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, encompassing
analysis, design, development, implementation, and
evaluation stages. The subjects consisted of 15 children in
Group B1 at Alkhairaat Tondo Kindergarten. Data were
collected through observation, interviews, documentation,
and questionnaires to assess needs, feasibility, and
children’s responses to the developed media. Expert
validation results indicated a very high level of feasibility,
with scores of 98.3% from media experts and 96.6% from
material experts. Classroom implementation showed
positive engagement, with 60% of children developing
cognitive abilities as expected and 40?ginning to show
improvement. These findings suggest that the developed
Pop-Up Book media is feasible, engaging, and has potential
to support cognitive development in early childhood
learning contexts.
