Abstract

This development research was motivated by children's low numeracy literacy and not being taught English vocabulary from an early age. This research aims to develop a wetland-based pop-up book to improve English vocabulary skills and numeracy literacy in kindergarten that is valid, practical, and effective. The type of research used is development research. The model used is the ADDIE model. The data analysis techniques used are quantitative descriptive and qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. Quantitative descriptive analysis is used to analyze the results of questionnaire data obtained from the results of validation questionnaires, teacher and student response questionnaires, as well as student learning outcomes tests in the form of scores. Qualitative descriptive analysis is used to analyze comments or suggestions from expert validators, teachers and students in the form of descriptive data. The research results show (1) the pop-up book is valid based on the assessment of Indonesian language experts with an average score of 3.8, English with an average score of 4, mathematics with an average score of 4 and design with an average score of 4, (2) practical pop-ups based on teacher assessment with an average score of 3.8, and (3) pop-up books are effective for children to use. Thus, wetland-based pop-up books to improve English vocabulary skills and numeracy literacy in kindergarten can effectively improve English vocabulary and numeracy literacy skills in kindergarten.
