The Impact of Activity Book Based on Social Emotional Learning to Improve Teachers' Pedagogical Skills and Students' Numeracy Abilities

Social emotional learning plays an important role in transformative education, especially in improving academic achievement, including numeracy skills. To understand its impact, further exploration is needed, especially in several PAUD POS. This study aimed to assess the impact of using activity books based on social emotional learning on POS PAUD learning. The development procedure used Borg and Gall’s theory. The trials were conducted in three PAUD POS centers–Tunas Ceria, Tunas Bahagia, and Perintis–showed a significant increase in students’ social emotional skills, particularly in cooperative behavior, tolerant attitudes, and emotional expression. The increase was seen in activity books that fostered positive interactions. The pedagogical competence of teachers increased after using the activity books. Therefore, the use of activity books based on social emotional learning can be an innovative solution in developing social emotional skills in PAUD.
