Abstract
Color recognition skills for early childhood are very important as a basis for starting other learning, by recognizing colors a child will get the benefits of creative development, development of sensory abilities and other positive benefits. Based on the results of observations that had been done in the kindergarten school that locate in Tangerang, Indonesia, it was found that most children were still often confused or had difficulty distinguishing colors through conventional teaching. In this research, a color recognition application was built in two languages, which aims to help students to recognize color faster. Testing will be carried out using the pretest and posttest methods with the "paired sample t test" method to measure the level of student development before and after using the application, user acceptance testing will also be carried out using UAT to measure the level of user acceptance of the application that had been made. From these evaluation, it was found that the results of the development were quite good with the t-stat results of 8.69 and the user acceptance test results of 86.72%.
Highlights
The introduction of colors is an first step learning for early childhood, where when a child knows the colors, it will be easier for children to learn other things, such as learning shapes, names of objects, animals and other learning [1]
Based on the results of research conducted by the University of British Columbia, certain colors can help concentration, attention span and facilitate memory retention and learning In that research, it was concluded that the colors red and blue were the best for improving brain function and cognitive skills, where red was much better than blue as far as detail oriented tasks, and memory retention were concerned by as much as 31%. [1], [2]
The treatment that used in this research is using an interactive color recognition application that has been made based on the problems that iJIM ‒ Vol 16, No 05, 2022
Summary
The introduction of colors is an first step learning for early childhood, where when a child knows the colors, it will be easier for children to learn other things, such as learning shapes, names of objects, animals and other learning [1]. Based on the results of research conducted by the University of British Columbia, certain colors can help concentration, attention span and facilitate memory retention and learning In that research, it was concluded that the colors red and blue were the best for improving brain function and cognitive skills, where red was much better than blue as far as detail oriented tasks, and memory retention were concerned by as much as 31%. The ability to identify colors is part of cognitive abilities, where the ability to recognize colors is very important for children’s brain development because color recognition can stimulate children’s sense of sight [3], [4]. In addition to stimulating the child’s sense of sight, identify colors can increase children’s creativity and thinking power to remember [5]. Some colors can be used to enhance learning and affect mood, for example yellow can create positive feelings, to maintain attention and encourage creativity. From the description that has been submitted, it can be concluded that if a child learns colors or knows colors before the child learns other things, it will making learning process more faster, rather than if the child learns other things before getting know the colors [3], [8]
