Pengembangan APE Busy Book Berbasis Coding untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Kognitif Anak Usia 4–5 Tahun

This study is motivated by the low cognitive abilities of children aged 4–5 years in recognizing patterns, sequencing, and understanding cause–effect relationships at TK Al Ikhlas Waleran Grabagan. This study aims to develop a coding-based Busy Book as an educational tool to improve early childhood cognitive development. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The results show that the developed media is categorized as very feasible by media experts and feasible with minor revisions by material experts. The implementation results indicate a significant improvement in children's cognitive abilities after using the media, particularly in recognizing patterns, sequencing, and understanding cause–effect relationships. Therefore, the coding-based Busy Book is effective in improving the cognitive development of children aged 4–5 years.
