Abstract

The ability to think symbolically is one of the essential aspects of cognitive development to be achieved by early childhood. However, reality shows that some children's ability to think symbolically still needs to be achieved optimally. For this reason, a learning media that functions as an educational game tool is used, namely a number piggy bank. For this reason, this study aims to determine the role of using number piggy banks in learning in early childhood classes in the age range of 5-6 years. Furthermore, it is to determine the effect of using the media on developing their symbolic thinking skills. The type of research used in this study is mixed- method. The data analysis technique used was descriptive and statistical analysis using the chi-squared method (χ²). The data collection techniques were observation, tests, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the number piggy bank was declared to affect symbolic thinking skills in children aged 5-6 at a kindergarten in Kuningan Regency, West Java, Indonesia. It is based on observations of teacher and student activities, which show 82.3% after using the number piggy bank media and 78.6% in the results of symbolic thinking abilities in children aged 5-6 years obtaining BSH qualifications (developing as expected). As well as the results of validity tests and statistical calculations, the use of number piggy banks affects the ability to think symbolically in children aged 5-6 years obtained Z-count (44.15) > Z-table (1.879)
