Strategies to Improve Early Childhood Compound Intelligence Through Traditional Games
This study aims to examine strategies for increasing the plural intelligence of early childhood through the use of traditional games in the early childhood education environment. The background of the research is based on the importance of comprehensive stimulation for early childhood in the golden age of development, as well as the increasing abandonment of traditional games due to the influence of digital culture. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study at PAUD Melati Ceria, Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency, Jambi Province. Data collection techniques were carried out through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of 30 children aged 4–6 years, 4 PAUD teachers, and 10 parents. The results of the study show that traditional games are able to stimulate various aspects of multiple intelligence, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligence. In addition, traditional games provide a fun, contextual learning experience as well as reinforce local cultural values.

The low creativity of teachers in using methods during Indonesian Language lessons makes students less motivated, resulting in their writing and speaking skills being underdeveloped. Thus, the research problem is how interview practice can improve the writing and speaking skills of fifth-grade students. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive analysis. The research findings indicate that interviews can enhance writing and speaking skills, although not 100% as there are still four students who tend to be passive or silent. This interview method is suitable to be implemented by teachers during lessons because it is effective, engaging, and enhances students' writing and speaking skills.

The results of the research are that the teacher has a vital role in managing all learning, from planning, implementation to the evaluation stage in measuring the success rate of early childhood with special needs in participating in learning activities. From the results of data collection in the field there are at least 3 stages faced by RA teachers which are challenges for teachers in implementing inclusive education in madrasas. The first is the preparation stage, the implementation stage and the evaluation stage. in the preparation stage the challenges faced are (1) the teacher does not use the initial screening stage as a form of screening regular children with children with special needs, (2) the teacher does not understand the identification procedure when admitting new students, (3) the teacher does not understand the curriculum model in inclusive education settings , (4) teachers do not use assessment instruments as material for consideration in planning PDBK learning programs, (5) teachers do not prepare PPI for PDBK. At the implementation stage in madrasah, among the obstacles faced were (1) teachers did not have qualified human resources in handling PDBK, (2) most PDBK were not accompanied by GPK, (3) teachers conducted trial and error in handling PDBK. whereas at the assessment stage, because madrasas have not implemented PPI, the assessment or evaluation does not refer to PPI as ideally inclusive madrasas in measuring children's abilities during learning. From a number of challenges faced by inclusive madrasas at the Raudhatul Athfal (RA) level, several efforts have been made to overcome these challenges, such as working with parents, having accompanying teachers, giving rewards when children can follow instructions, collaborating with outsiders in providing solutions to problems experienced by madrasas and providing resource space for special learning for AUDBK in madrasas. Madrasas are required by the government not to reject ABK with certain categories but teachers lack knowledge about the concept of ABK and handling it. We also recommend that in addition to maximizing technical assistance regarding AUDBK, it also guides the addition of BOS funds per AUDBK to be higher than regular children, this is intended to enrich facilities and infrastructure, media and other supporting facilities in improving the quality of madrasas towards better inclusive madrasas.
