Pengaruh Media Digital Interaktif Terhadap Efektivitas Pembelajaran Anak Usia Dini: Sebuah Tinjauan Literatur

Abstract

Early childhood education requires learning activities that are appropriate to children's developmental characteristics. One important component in supporting meaningful learning is the use of learning media. This article aims to analyze the use of media in early childhood learning, the types of media that can be utilized, their benefits for children's development, and the factors that need to be considered by teachers in selecting learning media. This study employed a qualitative approach with a literature review method. Data were obtained from scientific journal articles and books discussing early childhood education, learning media, digital learning, interactive multimedia, and educational media. The data were analyzed through content analysis by identifying, comparing, and interpreting findings from relevant literature. The results indicate that learning media can facilitate the delivery of learning materials, increase children's attention and motivation, provide concrete learning experiences, and stimulate various aspects of child development. Learning media may include concrete materials, visual media, audio-visual media, educational games, interactive multimedia, digital media, and culturally based media. However, the use of media should not be oriented merely toward technological sophistication. Teachers need to consider children's age, developmental stage, learning objectives, safety, accessibility, attractiveness, ease of use, and the suitability of media with the learning environment. Therefore, the use of learning media in early childhood education needs to be planned, contextual, interactive, and accompanied by appropriate teacher guidance.
