Model Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek Melalui Edubiz Kids Lab Untuk Menumbuhkan Literasi Bisnis Anak Usia Dini

Abstract

Business literacy in early childhood should be fostered through developmentally appropriate learning that is grounded in concrete experience and prioritizes soft skills over economic achievement. This study aimed to develop a project-based learning model through the EduBiz Kids Lab to foster business literacy in early childhood. The study employed the Design and Development Research approach on the model research track, limited to model development and internal validation. The model was developed through needs analysis, component formulation, and syntax construction, and was then validated by nine experts using 20 indicators across five dimensions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Aiken's V coefficient. The resulting model comprises a four-phase syntax (ideating, making or preparing, sharing or organizing, and reflecting), a social system, principles of reaction, a support system, and learning effects. The validation yielded a quality percentage of 81.78% with a mean score of 4.089 and a mean Aiken's V of 0.888; 16 of 20 indicators reached V ≥ 0.80. The support system received the lowest score (78.89%); therefore, revisions were prioritized on activity safety, developmental appropriateness, and non-commercial orientation. The practicality and effectiveness of the model require further field testing.
