PENGARUH MEDIA SMART NUMBER POP TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN MENGENAL ANGKA DI TAMAN KANAK-KANAK SABBIHISMA 4 PADANG
Abstract
This study was motivated by the less-than-optimal number recognition skills of children aged 5–6 years, as indicated by difficulties in recognizing number symbols, reciting numbers from 1 to 10, identifying numbers according to the teacher’s instructions, and matching numbers with corresponding quantities. Children also tended to become bored and less actively engaged in numeracy learning using conventional methods. This study aimed to determine the effect of Smart Number Pop media on the number recognition skills of children aged 5–6 years at Sabbihisma 4 Kindergarten, Padang. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The population consisted of children aged 5–6 years at Sabbihisma 4 Kindergarten, Padang. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, consisting of class B5 as the experimental group and class B1 as the control group, with a total of 20 children. Data were collected through pretests and posttests using an instrument consisting of four items assessing number recognition skills. Data were analyzed using normality, homogeneity, Independent Samples t-Test, and effect size tests. The results showed that the mean score in the experimental group increased from 9.6 to 14.9 after using Smart Number Pop media, while the control group increased from 7.3 to 12 after learning with flashcards. The hypothesis test showed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that H₀ was rejected and Hₐ was accepted. The effect size of 0.95 indicated a large effect. Thus, Smart Number Pop media significantly influenced the number recognition skills of children aged 5–6 years.
