Penerapan Digital Puppet Show Interaktif untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Bahasa Ekspresif Anak di RA Al Fauzi

Abstract

This research aims to explore the implementation of an Interactive Digital Puppet Show to enhance expressive language skills in children at RA Al Fauzi. The study uses a qualitative approach with a classroom action research (CAR) design, involving 25 students. The intervention consists of digital puppet shows where children actively participate in storytelling and character dialogue using interactive digital puppets. The puppet show is designed to encourage children to express their thoughts, emotions, and creativity through verbal communication. Data is collected through observations, teacher interviews, and student feedback. The findings indicate that the use of digital puppet shows significantly improved children's expressive language skills. Students became more confident in speaking, expressing their ideas, and engaging in conversations with peers. The interactive nature of the digital puppet show, which allows children to control the characters and their dialogue, contributed to their increased participation and language development. This study highlights the potential of using digital puppet shows as an innovative method to foster expressive language skills in early childhood education, offering an engaging and fun way to support language development in young learners
