Strengthening Online Learning for Kindergarten Students Through Android Application “Quiver-3D Coloring Augmented Reality”

Abstract

<p class="Abstract">The implementation of the distance learning during study from home is not optimal especially in the use of learning media to support activities, causing student interest in learning to decline. This condition is experienced by one of the Kindergartens in Bekasi Regency, i.e., Taman Kanak-kanak Islam Terpadu (TKIT) Az-Zachra. In response to this, innovative learning media is needed to foster children’s learning motivation. Therefore, we carry out a program to strengthen online learning using the android-based application as a learning tool for TKIT Az-Zachra’s students, i.e., Quiver-3D Coloring, which is an Augmented Reality-based learning media. This online learning strengthening activity aims to utilize AR-based learning media on children’s learning motivation. The method used in implementing this program is the provision of instructional videos using the Quiver-3D Coloring application through the WhatsApp Group medium. The program target was 36 students and held on one day only (December 3, 2020). The activity results showed that the utilization of Quiver-3D Coloring application could increase student motivation and made learning more interactive.</p>
