Abstract

General Background: Learning concentration is a fundamental aspect of early childhood education, as it determines students’ ability to focus, respond, and understand instructional material in classroom settings. Specific Background: However, preliminary observations at Dharma Wanita Nambangan Kindergarten revealed that most children experienced low concentration levels, with 70% showing difficulty in maintaining attention during learning activities. Knowledge Gap: Although audio-visual and animation-based media are increasingly used in educational contexts, empirical evidence regarding their application in improving concentration among early childhood learners in classroom action settings remains limited. Aims: This study aims to examine the use of animation-based audio-visual media to improve learning concentration and comprehension among children aged 5–6 years. Results: Using classroom action research involving 11 students, the findings indicate a progressive increase in concentration from pre-cycle conditions to cycle I and cycle II, with final results reaching 81.81%, and 75% of students demonstrating improved focus and understanding after intervention. Novelty: The study highlights the integration of animation and audio-visual approaches within an edutainment framework as a practical classroom strategy to address concentration problems in early childhood learning. Implications: These findings suggest that engaging, interactive, and visually dynamic learning media can support improved attention and comprehension, providing practical guidance for educators in designing more effective and enjoyable learning environments in early childhood education.
