Model in Early Childhood Cognitive Development

Abstract

This class action research was done in two cycles, with three meetings to practice fun learning models for children. Research subjects were sixteen kindergarten students in Group A, Islamic Kindergarten of Bakti 1 Banjarmasin. Fun models used in this study are Make a Match, Picture and Picture, and Talking Stick. The objective is to improve cognitive aspects based on chil-dren's ability to recognize objects around based on function. Analysis of de-script ive qualitative data shows that teacher activity ≥24 is in the "very Active" category, student activity ≥82 is in the "very Active" category, and learning outcomes show excellent development. The results show that the combination of three pleasing models positively impacts the cognitive aspects of early childhood.
