Abstrak

ABSTRACT

The application of neuroscience in early childhood education can help teachers understand how children's brains work and adapt their teaching methods accordingly. A neuroscience-based learning innovation called “Emosiku dan Otakku†helps young children understand and manage their emotions. This innovation was created in response to the need for learning that not only focuses on academics but also emphasizes the balance between children’s affective, cognitive, and socio-emotional development. The “Emosiku dan Otakku†program is designed to include activities that promote play, reflection, and self-expression, such as storytelling about children’s feelings, emotional mirror games, and breathing exercises. A descriptive qualitative method was used in this study. Data were collected through observation and documentation at TK Al-Muhajirin Pandeglang.The results showed that this neuroscience-based learning innovation helped children identify and communicate various types of emotions, as well as manage negative feelings in a healthy way. The children became more relaxed, patient, and better able to understand how their friends were feeling. Teachers also gained a clearer understanding of the importance of emotional intelligence in the learning process. The findings indicate that the “Emosiku dan Otakku†neuroscience-based learning program can strengthen the connection between the right and left hemispheres of the brain and serve as an effective method for teaching young children about emotional intelligence. terjemaahkan ke  bahasa Indonesia
