Development of Monopoly Games in Introducing Numeracy Literacy Skills to Early Childhood

Abstract

Awareness through literacy skills plays a crucial role in facilitating individual achievement when facing problems. Literacy skills are not only acquired from formal educational institutions, but parents also contribute to the role of early educators in providing literacy. This academic research aims to evaluate the feasibility of the learning tools that have been created, as well as the changes that occur before and after the application of these tools through the introduction of numeracy literacy for early childhood. The approach applied in this academic research domain is R&D (Research and Development), and the product development process uses the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) prototype. In this academic research, the researchers conducted a needs analysis, developed a model, carried out validation and revision, and implemented it. The targets of this academic research were children aged 4-5 years, as well as educators and school principals. The findings of the academic research showed that the researchers' work was considered suitable as a teaching tool based on evaluations by experts in subject matter, design, and media. Based on the pre-test and post-test findings, it can be concluded that this tool is effective as a teaching basis for educators to convey numeracy literacy to early childhood.
