Perkembangan Kognitif Anak Melalui Media Game Marbel pada TK Sri Rezeki 3 Waekase Kecamatan Air Buaya Kabupaten Buru
Abstract
This study aims to describe the use of the Marbel Game as a learning medium to improve the cognitive development of children aged 5–6 years at TK Sri Rezeki 3 Waikase, Buru Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach using Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations, performance assessments, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model supported by descriptive quantitative analysis. The findings indicate that the Marbel Game effectively improved children's ability to recognize numbers 1–10 and match number symbols with corresponding quantities. In Cycle II, 93.75% of the children achieved the very well-developed category and 6.25% reached the developed as expected category, with no children remaining in the lower categories. The learning media also enhanced children's participation, concentration, enthusiasm, and independence during classroom activities.
