PENGEMBANGAN KARTU BERSERI PINTAR, TAAT, DAN RAJIN (PINTARA) UNTUK MENUMBUHKAN DISIPLIN POSITIF PADA ANAK USIA DINI

Abstract

This study aims to develop the Pintar, Taat, and Rajin (Pintara) Serial Story Cards to 
foster positive discipline in early childhood, particularly in queuing, sharing, and 
tidying up toys. The background of this research lies in the dominance of instructive 
methods in early childhood education, which are less engaging and ineffective in 
building children’s intrinsic discipline. This study employs a Research and 
Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, limited to the development stage. 
Trials were conducted individually, in small groups, and in large groups with children 
aged 5–6 years in Mustika Jaya District. Data were collected through observations, 
interviews, expert validation questionnaires, and children’s response assessments, then analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results indicated that the Pintara cards 
met the principles of early childhood learning, were deemed highly feasible by experts 
and practitioners with an overall category of “very good”, obtaining an average 
percentage score of 90% from the material expert, 95% from the media expert, and 
97.5% from early childhood education practitioners, and received positive responses 
from children with most respondents (43.33% of the total 30 participants) categorized 
as “very good”. Children found it easier to understand moral messages, were motivated 
to practice discipline, and showed improvements in queuing, sharing, and tidying 
behaviors. Thus, the Pintara Serial Story Cards are feasible to be used as an innovative 
medium to foster positive discipline in early childhood.
