Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop an appropriate instrument to assess early childhood concentration in kindergarten. This research is an adjustment development research (R&D) from Borg and Gall. The research phase includes curriculum analysis, field studies, expert consultation, and the preparation of prototype models. The development stage includes expert and practitioner validation, readability testing, teacher training, limited trials, expanded trials and evaluation. The test subjects were limited to 9 kindergartens with 9 teachers and 90 children, the test subjects were expanded to 20 kindergartens with 20 teachers and 400 children. Analysis at the development stage was carried out using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The analysis at the final stage of development used repeated measures analysis to determine the development of early childhood concentration in kindergarten during/after the instrument trial. The results showed: 1) Development of instruments to measure the concentration of early childhood in kindergarten for theoretical tests using open interview methods and Delphi and FGD techniques, empirical tests using quasi-experimental designs Single-group interrupted time-series designs have been deemed appropriate and 2) Instruments to measure the concentration of early childhood in kindergarten is an observation sheet in the form of a check list that is considered appropriate. So that the instrument is very feasible to use to measure the concentration of early childhood.
