The Influence of Early Childhood Education on Learning Outcomes and the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project

Abstract

Early childhood education (PAUD) provides children with the opportunity to learn and play in a safe environment. This study aims to investigate the influence of early childhood education on learning outcomes and the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) at SDN 03 Pondok Kacang Barat, South Tangerang. Using a quantitative approach, this study compared two groups: 39 students who went through early childhood education and 39 students who did not. The data shows that PAUD students have an average learning outcome of 705.26, while non-PAUD students reach 676.13. For P5 scores, the average PAUD students are 10.54, while non-PAUD students are 8.54. The results of the analysis showed a significant influence of early childhood education on learning outcomes (sig 0.000 < 0.05) and P5 (sig 0.000 < 0.05). Recommendations for early childhood education institutions include improving the quality of education through the development of learning media, better teacher training, and the use of innovative learning methods.
