LEARNING ENVIRONMENT DESIGN IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Attention is needed on the implementation of Early Childhood Education (ECE) in terms of learning environment design as one of the components of ECE facilities and infrastructure management. A non-comfortable learning environment for children will interfere with aspects of child development, causing children to become difficult to move, uncreative, and easily bored. Despite the teacher's lack of design expertise, it would be helpful for the teacher to understand the techniques of quality learning environment design that correspond with children's needs and interests so that the learning process runs smoothly and reaches maximum goals. This study is intended to teach educators and people in general a way how to design a good learning environment. In this study, literature studies or library research were utilized together with qualitative research methods. Documentation is used in data retrieval techniques, and content analysis is utilized in analysis techniques. The design of this learning environment is crucial and must be in place to meet the objectives of ECE implementation.
