Digital Pop Up Learning Media for Early Childhood Cognitive Development

This study developed a digital pop-up learning tool to support the cognitive development of children aged 5-6. The researchers used a Research and Development approach based on the Borg and Gall model. Two experts reviewed the tool and rated it as valid. It was then tried out with a small group of 10 children and was also rated valid. The authors conclude that the tool is an interesting learning aid suited to the digital era.

Key points

• The media was developed for the cognitive development of children aged 5-6 using the Borg and Gall R&D model.
• The media expert rated it highly valid (98%).
• The material expert rated it valid (87.5%).
• A limited tryout with 10 students in group B scored 80%, categorised as valid.
• The authors conclude the media is an interesting learning aid appropriate to the 4.0 revolution era.

Limitations

The tryout was very small (10 children) and had no comparison group. The scores reflect how valid the experts and users found the tool, not measured gains in children's cognitive development. The abstract does not name the country or setting.
