Pengaruh Keterlibatan Orang Tua, Kurikulum PAUD, dan Media Pembelajaran Terhadap Kreativitas AUD di Kabupaten Gowa

Creativity is an important aspect in child development and can be enhanced through family support for an optimal learning environment, appropriate curriculum, and the use of effective learning media. The interaction of parental involvement, PAUD curriculum, and learning media is key in creating a learning environment that fosters children's creativity. These three factors interact with each other to determine the quality of early childhood learning experiences. Until now, there has been limited research investigating the relationship between parental involvement, PAUD curriculum, and learning media on early childhood creativity. Most studies tend to focus on only one aspect without comprehensively considering the relationship between the three factors. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of parental involvement, PAUD curriculum, and learning media on creativity in early childhood. This study surveyed 227 PAUD teachers in the Somba Opu sub-district. The sample was selected using a random sampling technique by taking a sample of 219 teachers working in private kindergartens. This study used a survey methodology. This approach investigated the relationship between parental involvement, PAUD curriculum, and learning media on early childhood creativity using a Likert scale measurement tool. The data analysis technique used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using the Partial Least Squares SEM (PLS-SEM) method. This study revealed that parental involvement (0.45), PAUD curriculum (0.38), and learning media (0.41) have a significant influence on early childhood creativity with path coefficients. A flexible theme-based curriculum provides opportunities for exploration, supporting children's active involvement in learning. In addition, varied and interactive learning media, including technology, stimulate innovation and problem solving. These three factors form an important synergy in creating a learning environment that supports the development of children's creativity.
