EFEKTIVITAS PLATFORM RUANG MURID MENGGUNAKAN IFP DALAM MENINGKATKAN PARTISIPASI INTERAKTIF ANAK USIA 5-6 TAHUN

Abstract

In traditional learning, there is still a low level of interactive engagement of early childhood children in the educational process. Children's active participation is expected to increase with the adoption of digital-based learning technologies, such as the Ruang Murid platform combined with the Interactive Flat Panel (IFP). The purpose of this study was to determine how well the Ruang Murid platform using IFP increases the interactive engagement of children aged five to six years. This study used pretest-posttest and quantitative techniques with a quasi-experimental design. Observation sheets were used in the data collection method to determine the interactive engagement of children. Descriptive statistics, normality tests, and hypothesis testing with paired sample t-tests were used in data analysis. According to the research findings, the average interactive engagement score of children increased from 9.17 in the pretest to 15.00 in the first posttest and then to 20.22 in the second posttest. The findings of the hypothesis testing showed a significant difference between before and after therapy, with a significance value of p <0.001. Therefore, it can be said that the use of the Ruang Murid platform, which is based on IFP, increases the interactive engagement of children aged 5-6 years.
