Abstract

Indonesia and West Java are highly earthquake-prone, rendering early childhood children the most vulnerable group due to abstract concept understanding limitations. Conventional mitigation learning remains theoretical, causing cognitive overload. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an immersive pop-up book based on ECE STEAM to stimulate earthquake mitigation conceptual understanding. A quantitative experimental design was applied to a sample of 17 children aged 4–6 at KB Wisana Cidadap, Bandung. Data were gathered via illustrated test instruments and analyzed using Paired Sample t-Test, N-Gain, and Cohen's d Effect Size. Results showed a significant mean score increase from 72.94 (SD = 14.55) in the pre-test to 87.88 (SD = 8.40) in the post-test. The Paired Sample t-Test yielded a significance of < 0.001 (H1 accepted), with an N-Gain score of 0.5280 (medium category) and an Effect Size of 1.571 (very high category). In conclusion, ECE STEAM-based immersive pop-up book media is highly effective in reducing cognitive load and meaningfully improving early childhood disaster mitigation understanding.
