Training on Creating Interactive Board Media to Enhance Children's Cognitive Development in Distance Learning

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to help parents overcome challenges in distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic by training them to create interactive learning boards, enhancing children's cognitive development at home.
Method: The study used training sessions for parents to create interactive boards, with feedback collected through surveys based on Donald Kirkpatrick's evaluation model, assessing satisfaction and impact on children's learning.
Practical Applications: Parents, equipped with new skills, can now provide more engaging and structured home learning experiences. The interactive boards improved children's focus and cognitive abilities, with 100% of parents recognizing their value.
Conclusion: The study reveals that interactive board media created by parents can significantly improve children’s cognitive abilities in distance learning contexts. The high satisfaction rates (93.9%) and the unanimous agreement (100%) on the usefulness of the boards underscore the success of the training. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of how hands-on training for parents can positively impact home-based learning and address educational challenges brought on by the pandemic.
