Abstract

Science learning in early childhood requires learning media that are attractive, interactive, and appropriate to children's characteristics. However, learning activities that are still dominated by conventional methods can limit children's active participation and opportunities to develop critical and creative thinking skills. This study aimed to develop and implement interactive science learning media using Wordwall integrated with the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) learning model to support the development of critical and creative thinking skills in children. The study used a research and development approach with the 4D model consisting of Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. The subjects were 10 children in Class B of TK Al Hidayah, Sembungrejo Village, Merakurak District, Tuban Regency, and one class teacher. Data were collected through observation, interviews, expert validation, learning activity assessments, critical and creative thinking tests, and student response questionnaires. The results showed that the developed Wordwall-based learning media could be implemented effectively through TGT activities. The learning process encouraged children to participate actively, work cooperatively, answer questions, express ideas, and complete game-based challenges. The use of interactive media also provided a more enjoyable learning environment and supported the development of children's critical and creative thinking. Therefore, the integration of Wordwall and TGT can be used as an alternative learning strategy for science education in early childhood.
