Abstract


This research aims to design and develop a busy board joyful media to enhance the independence of children aged 4-5 years. Conducted in two Early Childhood Education (ECE) institutions in Gowa Regency, this study involved 24 children and 4 teachers, employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach. Data collection utilized documentation and questionnaire instruments, while data analysis applied a descriptive quantitative approach using percentages and categories. The results of the media validity, practicality, and effectiveness tests were 83.34%, 84.58%, and 80.21%, respectively. The implementation of busy board joyful media in the curriculum can significantly improve the independence of children aged 4-5 years, particularly in the aspect of self-regulation. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing a media that supports the development of children's independence and self-regulation in an engaging and interactive manner.
