Kompetensi Pedagogik Guru dalam Menciptakan Media Pembelajaran di KB Kasih Bunda Kecamatan Bengkalis

Abstract

Pedagogical competence is a teacher's ability to understand student characteristics, design learning, implement the learning process, utilize technology, and evaluate learning. This competence is crucial for creating engaging learning media that meet the needs of early childhood. This study aims to determine teachers' pedagogical competence in creating learning media at the Kasih Bunda Kindergarten (KB Kasih Bunda) in Bengkalis District. The study used a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that teachers have sufficient skills in designing and using various learning media tailored to children's characteristics. Teachers utilize visual media, simple technology-based media, and locally available materials to stimulate children's learning interest. However, several obstacles remain, such as limited facilities and supporting materials, in developing learning media. Therefore, increased teacher creativity and institutional support are needed to ensure the use of learning media becomes more effective in supporting early childhood learning.
