Development of Learning Media for Early Childhood Based on the Mechatronics System

Abstract

Learning media can be used as tools or intermediaries to help early childhood play and receive understanding of new concepts. Mechatronic-based learning media has a role in improving early childhood literacy skills. This learning media development aims to produce an innovative early childhood learning media and to determine the feasibility of developing learning media for early childhood using the mechatronic system. This research was conducted using the Research & Development (R&D) method using 4D development procedures namely; Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. Through learning technology in the form of mechatronic system-based learning media, it has changed the way young children learn and interact with their environment. Learning technology innovations like this must continue to be developed to support the advancement of children's education in Indonesia.
