Summary
Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-haiku-4-5-20251001This study developed 'the little bee circuit', a game-based learning method designed to stimulate five aspects of early childhood development. Researchers worked with 100 participants including teachers and children from five early childhood education institutions in Blitar Regency, Indonesia. The program was created following a systematic 10-step research and development process and expert validation. The resulting learning program is reported to align with the characteristics of young children and stimulate multiple areas of their growth and development.

Abstract
Games included into an integral part of early childhood learning methods. The present research was conducted to develop a game-based learning method for early childhood named ‘the little bee circuit’. This research implements research and development by Borg and Gall which consists of 10 steps. Furthermore, the little bee circuit game is designed sequentially and systematically so that it can stimulate five aspects of child development. The subjects in this study were teachers at five PAUD institutions and group B children in the Blitar Regency by the total respondents are 100. The data collection technique is the distribution of questionnaires to experts in the field of early childhood education, both from educators and early childhood education lecturers.
